Terry Pratchett Small Gods
Episode 1 of 4

Set in a complex state of beliefs, the Great God Om appears before novice monk Brutha. Starring Anton Lesser.

Great God Om appears before a novice monk - and is soon coming out of his shell...

There are gods everywhere on Discworld - you can't swing a simian librarian without hitting one - except, of course, only a few people can see them. Each small god lies in wait, desperately seeking to make someone believe in him. On Discworld, gods need people more than people need gods, for belief is the food of the gods.

Starring Carl Prekopp, Patrick Barlow, Alex Jennings and Anton Lesser.
