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

Traveller in Time in his shed
"Tonight we can go listen again to the third episode.

How come I am a little less enthusiastic ?"

Possibly because the 'specialness' of the thing has worn off. The first episode was very special, because it was the first for over 20 years. The second ep was special, because the plot gets going, and the Krikket robots turn up. The third ep is, well, the third ep. What can you say?

Nice to hear Douglas at the end of the ep, though we were expecting him.

Traveller in Time listening again 'Windows Media Player version'
"Now it says
>Tertiary Phase - Episode 2 - WMA 5:1 128 VBR


And it is the second episode, again "

Traveller in Time after a refresh
" this one says
>ERROR 404

>See <./>Help</.> for more information ...

And this help link is as good (or better) then the one they give <?> "

Traveller in Time searching for his headphones (all five)
"Some five hours to go. . . "

Some five minutes to go...

"five seconds"

"Well, that will be repeated thing, I suppose.

And the listen agains will be stable available from poet morning. "

I was amused to hear the way that they dealt with "The Award for the Most Gratuitious use of the Word *crash* in a Serious Screenplay".

I had wondered whether they would change the offending word into 'Belgium', but I think the crashing sound works better, and ties into the Krikket robots attacking the party, too.

Traveller in Time on the headphones
"Just hoping my system stays up long enough. "

Traveller in Time on top
"Started!!!!"

Traveller in Time waiting with the headphones on top
"Ten minutes to the repeat! "

I've already heard episode 6, through a time warp.

Traveller in Time on his head
"Let me guess, you have ordered the CD version "

Nope.

Traveller in Time searching for the listen again
"Well, it is just a few days to go, I can wait.


(Is it as brilliant as this episode? much better then the last two.)"

It's very good. Especially the warning to time travellers at the end.

Traveller in Time listening again
"I can not find the role he plays, it is just that a certain 'Dirk Maggs' will give a web chat interview after the last episode.

Any questions? < <./>/radio4/hitchhikers/</.> > "

He's the producer and he wrote the script.

Traveller in Time finally reading the intro
"Yes, that is what they say on the radio 4 site, just what role does he play in the program?

He is the 'Eddies' in the space time continuum of the radio series? "
