Now if you want to know the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything, then you can do worse then listen to the radio tonight.
The 'HitchHikers Guide To The Galaxy' is returning to its original home, twenty six years after the show was first broadcast but The tourch has been carried on on the web by some thing called H2G2 wich is on BBC's huge mega site and Jim Sangster from h2g2 is on the line now to tell us something about it. It is a bit of a succes has it not been Jim?

It has kind of gone out from that original idea of the answer to the life the universe and everything into all sorts of different colours. I mean looking at your website and people post-in the most exraordinary sort of explainations of things.
" |
That is right yes, I mean the idea for h2g2 is a sort of a real live version of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. I mean fans know that it is written in the books that earth was just lifted out as mostly harmless. So the idea that Douglas Adams had when he sat up h2g2 was to sort of redress the balance and look at the real history the science and the culture and everything about earth. |

And this is a sort of community of people who can sort of log in and say whatever they like well, within reason, whatever they like.

And does it still refer back to the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?
" |
|
"
And it has now build up a huge archive ?

"
Well thanks for joining us Jim Sangster, I know you will be glued to the radio for tonight, but thanks for joining us for what is h2g2, the time is now six minutes to five.
