The BBC is adapting the last three HHG books to radio, with basically the whole original main cast returning.

Wow! :eek: This is pretty exciting! What with this and the movie, there's a lot for Hitchhiker fans to look forward to.

I hope they air it in Norway.... They did the original show years ago, and that was the only time I heard it. Great news, anyway.

You'll be able to hear it on the intarweb, at least...

Shame the 'voice of the book', Peter Jones, won't be returning, since he's a bit dead. It's also a bit of a shame the BBC Radiophonic Workshop doesn't exist any more - I thought their music and sound effects were a big part of the original series.

Good news anyway! (Unlike the movie

)

Well, the theme will probably return, since it was an Eagles song and not a custom composition

And Garyos... you can get the original shows on CD from the BBC now.

I can rent it at the library if I ever get an urge to listen to it again, Tabs.

I miss Douglas Adams.

The world needs more people like him.

How are they going to miss all the deadlines when there is no Douglas Adams any more?

Anyway, I don't know if I'm all that positive with this, it can be a bit of an anti-climax. Besides, the book doesn't follow the radio-show, so it seem to be a bit strange to make radioshows from the books anyway. Anyone knows who will write the script?

You can listen to BBC Radio 4 over the net, so you don't need to wait until they air it in Norwegian radio.
