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

Hello everyone!

Just thought you might like to know that Radio 4 have launched a brand new website linked to the forthcoming broadcast of the new radio series of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/

The brand new series begins on Tuesday 21 September at 6.30pm...

Paully

yes epsisode one is in the middle of the Lib Dem conference I'm going to have to find a radio in Bournemouth.

Groovy. [bookmarks]

Yay! an it will be on "Listen Again" Real Player rippers on stand-by

CHawke

Very .

Excellent...

Nice.

Just read the explanation of development of the new series by Dirk Maggs. Quite interesting.

It's a shame the associated message board isn't a DNA one though.

Ah, nut there *is* a prominent h2g2 link, though...

(nut = but )

ah but does it stand in three mile high illuminated letters?

No, just emboldened. On the left hand side.

Not funny, but true.


Geggs

The message boards are rather bitchy and cynical on the radio 4 site.

Would have been nice to have the cast list and the parts vaugly next to each other, but hey, ITS BACK

Yeah!!!!!

People of Earth you're attention please!

We are?

If the Earth was destroyed, why were the only survivors English people?

Why no Chinese, Brazilians, Indians, or Americans? (To name some of the world's most populous and deservedly representative countries?)

(The questions get harder from hereon in )

Becasue we were no good at Cricket and therefore not a threat to Krikkit

Well, that makes complete sense, then.

Good glad that makes sense.

"If the Earth was destroyed, why were the only survivors English people?"

Because Arthur was rescued by Ford (who knew of the impending events via his Sub-Etha radio) and Zaphod had taken Trillian off the planet a long time ago

And what about Elvis?

Who warned him?
