Truckers is a stop motion animated series, an adaptation of the first book of Terry Pratchett's The Nome Trilogy, produced in the United Kingdom by Cosgrove Hall for TV, then released on VHS, though edited together into a feature-length film. Cosgrove Hall had plans to produce follow-ups for the remaining two books in the series, but these plans were shelved due to a change of management in the early 1990s. The series consisted of 13 ten-minute episodes.
The start of each episode would review the story up until then. At the end of each episode, there would be a cliffhanger, and the program would be continued the following week, immediately after where the previous episode concluded.
