There are more links there now but they don't seem to be working for me. Meanwhile, I really need subtitles anyway and I see no options for those. The previous Dr.Who online serial could have done with some too. It's a bit strange that the one medium best suited to multiple options (for blind or deaf) seems rather lacking in them.

I quite liked the effect of both of Zaphod's mouths speaking at the same time. Oh, and speaking with one mouth while brushing the teeth in the other. The original series never quite took full advantage of the 'two heads' idea, surprisingly.

When the original series was broadcast, us poor Scots could only get it in mono, so I couldn't tell.

At the time I lived about 50 miles North of here... 
We got stereo Radio 4 on the Radio Scotland frequency for part of the day, but it cut away without warning just as the Guide came on, forcing a rapid retune to LW. 
Radio 4 didn't get its own FM frequency up here till a few years later.

Well now I know. I was only 9 at the time so not that into the frequenscy and stereo or otherwise of the signal I just thought it was cool.

I hope the ACEs are not burned down to ashes by the time the series is done. "
