h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thanx for bringing back some happy memories. Clive James' "May Week Was in June" was a good account of how to become so addicted to Footlights that nothing else. beyond a little light drinking, got done at all.

I really enjoyed reading this too.

This is yet another thanks from an American who honestly didn't know what she was missing.

You almost make me wish I'd applied to Cambridge now!

Makes me wish I lived in England! (But Im sure that will be rectified soon)

Absolutely brill!
A really interesting and informative entry.

Beeblefish - are you planning on crossing the pond?

I'd like to thank everyone for the great comments about this article (and Menza for editing it!) - complimentary feedback is always welcome!

As an ex-Footlight myself, I must admit it did take up rather a lot of time that perhaps in retrospect should have been spent studying...

Nah!

since when were uni and studying supposed to go together?
(why didn't anyone warn me *panics*)

Indeed, a lovely, lovely article. However I feel it important to point out, merely for the joy of pedantry, that:

* Cellar Tapes was in 1981, not 1980
* Whoops Utopia! was a Spring Revue, not a summer show. (I seem to remember that the name was made out of bits of names of previous shows, but it's possible I'm making that up.)

Mea maxima culpa.
