in a manner which is a good deal less erudite than some of your correspondents...
1) I am deeply unhappy with this idea. It will end in tears and wailing and gnashing of teeth.
2) I thought long and hard about this. The only two successful ones I can think of is the second Gone with the Wind book (whose name escapes me!) and the Opera "The Marriage of Figaro" which is a sequel to the "Barber of Seville". And the success of them is debatable.
3) the only person suitable to write another episode in H2G2 is DNA. And that ain't happening.
4) Nope
5) Nope - DNA was a flipping genius, and they are pretty rare beasties.
6) I think it is perfectly valid to criticise this concept. Some may want to be fair minded and see what comes of it, but I would rather object and get it torpedoed out of the water immediately!!
