It has been forty years since the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was first broadcast. I first got to hear it in 2001 when the two series were repeated on BBC Radio 4 following the death of Douglas Adams earlier that year. It made an impression on me and I sought out the books and television series. I did, at one point manage to play the text based game but it was very difficult.
Now the 'Hexagonal Phase' of the series is aboat to be broadcast. It was written by Eoin Colfer and has all of the original cast back. It should be interesting and I hope to read it in futue.
