I've just realised that BBC Radio 4 are broadcasting BRAND NEW episodes of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I had assumed that they were repeating the "3rd series" which aired around last November, but it is a 4th series The Quandary Phase and is based on stuff from the books (I assume). There is a 5th Quintessential Phase also planned.
The first episode has already aired on Tuesday 3rd May. You have a couple of days to catch the archive before it disappears, so DON'T PANIC. Radio4 Hitch Hikers Guide pages.
Quack!

BBC Listen Again service via the Internet is available for 6 days, the day following the programme you wanted to see. So if you missed it on Tuesday, it's available on Wednesday to listen to, every day right up to the next Monday, the day before the next broadcast. It's repeated on Thursdays too....

Caught the second half of one show in the car, not a patch on the original.

I have been following them and have to say, a bit disappointed.

It's hard to match the originals as they were new, and these are from books four and five, and so we know them already.
