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

........Richard Allinson this morning on Radio 2 (he's sitting in for Terry Wogan), he played the Album version of The Eve of The War from War of the Worlds all 10 minutes of it, wow I'd forgotten how good this album was, after hearing it this morning I went straight to my CD collection and dug it out and listened to it.

Has anyone else got this in their collection, it's not just Jeff Wayne's fab score that makes this a classic album it's also Richard Burton's fantastic portrayal of The Jounalist.

Damm i missed that,

stupid girl i work with makes us all listen to cool fm (stupid local station that play the same 15 songs everyday all day!

I missed it too, must get a copy of it for my collection!

I used to hate that about Capital FM when I lived in London, you could almose set your watch by the records played, if I remember rightly they used to play Cecilia by Suggs at 3.45 every day

Play lists are the pants, where's the next Kenny Everitt, I know you got that Ross kiddy on Radio2 on a sat morning, where's the BEEF!

Some of the comedy stuff on Radio's 2 and 4 is pretty good but there's no one that makes me laugh any more, Kenny Everett was one, DLT and Adrian Juste from Radio 1 many years ago. Steve Wright is pretty good tho. there's a guy on Radio Solent that is just so pathetic, he tries to be trendy and serious at the same time, it's soooooooooo sad

One of my favourites, the Martians, the heat ray, the journalist, the whole of "Brave New World," fantastic. Just fantastic.

I don't think it would have been such a hit if it hadn't been for Richard Burton playing the Journalist, he's made the part, I don't think anyone else could have played it

I totally agree with you there

I think my mum's got War of the Worlds somewhere, must look for it someday.

Either that or download it from Kazaa

It's still available in the shops

It is cheaper though....

Probably not when you add on P&P

I haven't got Kazaa.

Not only got it, but have it as an mp3 on my laptop.

Good idea

You have Kazaa on your laptop?????????


Still haven't looked for the album!

It was the first CD I ever bought
