New 'Hitchhikers' radio series (slightly OT)

This may be slightly OT for Star Hero, but since the originals (and the books) are listed as source materials...

 

On Tuesday the BBC launched its new radio adaptation of the late Douglas Adams' final three Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books - Life, The Universe and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish; and Mostly Harmless.

 

25 years on from the original radio version, the new series uses pretty much the same cast, with the exception of Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon in Harry Potter) as Slartibartfast.

 

From 10.30GMT on Thursdays, the series will be broadcast over the internet - which means that those of you in the States can hear the first episode some time this afternoon, depending on your timezone.

 

I heard it on Tuesday, and IMO, it's excellent. ;)

 

Full details - including a Hitchhikers adventure game written by Adams in 1984 - are available from the BBC at:
