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

It was the "stripped" bit I didn't really get, maybe it's a radio broadcasting term I'm unfamiliar with.

Having an enforced day at home today with a poorly doggie, I'm working my way through the rest of the series.

Gaiman and Rankin have a mutual friend in Terry Pratchett, so they may know each other. I'm pretty sure I've read most of Rankin's stuff though, and the Angel Islington wasn't in any of them. Certainly not the Brentford books.

Then I have definitely read Neverhwere, and it didn't make a huge impression. It probably hit me at the wrong time, when I was distracted by other stuff. As I said, I was really struck by American Gods

Mind you, I am so claustrophobic that I'm not good at fiction set underground, and that may have had something to do with it. I didn't like the Narnian book The Silver Chair for that reason.

I might give the radio series another listen.

Well if the BBC's slightly odd rules in respect of the podcasts catches anyone out then it turns out the "free counter" on teh interwebz can easily assist if you know how to torrent.
