Night Watch audio

So I was listening to Night Watch on audio, and the after scene where
Vimes is talking to Madame Vetinari is revealed to be standing in the
room. In the book he says that Keel would have seen him had he just been
more aware (or something to that effect).
But in the audio version V. says Vimes instead of Keel... Have anybody
noticed this? And is it in every version of the audio.

It kind of made me laugh. I mean Vetinari has always been uncanny in his
way of knowing just one extra fact, but this was just great. I never new
he was that cool, to be able to see into the future.

And if this has already been talked to death, I'm sorry. Just wanted to
mention it. It really made an otherwise boring day a bit brighter.

Good question (I don't get the audio copies). I hope somebody has
fixed it by now; with so much being done on computer, it shouldn't
be too expensive to do (unlike a similar fix for print errors, which
is apparently so expensive that only the most disastrous ones are
changed - including that one).

That error was in the American pre-release review copy (one of the
few that I've seen). It was corrected in the official American
first print edition.

So that means the audio versions are made from the review copies
in order to be can be released at the same time as the printed
books. I wonder whether all the audio versions are from the
review copies, and how many times changes have been made at
that late point in the process.

It might have been, but I think it would have screwed up the story
for him to know that much in advance. He doesn't put it all together
(if he ever really does) until the end of NW.
