BBC Radio 4 has started to run the “new” Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series, which, as some of you might know, is one of my favourite books, 25 years after the original series… The good thing is it contains most of the original cast, including the late Douglas Adams, who appears as Agrajag thanks to the wonders of digital technology. Douglas always intended to play the part of Agrajag and recorded himself in the part a few years ago.
Anyways, it’s not available online til after the repeat at 11pm GMT tomorrow, but thanks to some people in the know you can listen to the first episode now, all you have to do is open Real Player and paste the link below in the File/Open Location dialogue box.
