how cool was that!!!

That was pretty good. Of the cast I would say that only Mark Wing-Davy's voice has changed significantly with age. So you can almost close your eyes and pretend that the last, what is it, 25 years hasn't happened.

I'm quite happy the last 25 years has happened. 25 years ago there were no way I would have been able to listen to it.
YAY!

I agree GD, that Mark Wing-Davey's voice as changed, however, as he was meant to be drunk more or less the whole time ... join the dots ...
Great tuff!

You mean the episode contradicted the books? Well now, there's a turnup

>>How did they get from the man in the shack to prehistoric Earth???<<
Did I mishear, or didn't Trillian ask Zaphod about that and the whole thing (i.e. the whole second series) was explained away as a 'psychotic episode' on Zaphod's part, that he was found wandering round the Hitchhikers offices still looking for Zarniwoop?
Very Dallas
Whoop! Loved the mattresses. And I thought M W-D was trying to do 'very drunk Zaphod' too.

Here's hoping the rest of the series continues in such a quality manner - even if the occasional 'artistic licence' enables the aforementioned "turnip" to occur where the book and the radio prog. don't fully coincide ....

Well worth the wait. 
But now... what about this 'Infocom remastered' game then? F19585?thread=487924 I think my analgesic's starting to wear off...

So I feel the need to hear it again. So where is it on Listen Again? Not there!
21 June 2004: New Hitchhiker Radio Series to Air Autumn 2004
Jim Lynn Posted Sep 23, 2004
Apparently it will be on Listen Again after the repeat (11pm tonight).

Narapoia Posted Sep 23, 2004
So when does the 7 days start? From when the programme's first on air or for 7 days after LA starts?
21 June 2004: New Hitchhiker Radio Series to Air Autumn 2004
Narapoia Posted Sep 23, 2004
OK have now read website properly! LA for 7 days from the Thursday repeat. Or I could just listen to the repeat.
