30 Aug 01 - 09:30 PM (#538610) Subject: RE: BS: Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy repeat From: Burke We've had it more than once. I first heard it running every Saturday morning on Minnesota Public Radio. It has to be +17 years ago. More recently our upstate New York PR station was running it on Sunday evenings about a year ago. In addition to the 4 books, the The Radio Scripts were also published as a book. |

01 Sep 01 - 02:41 PM (#539734) Subject: RE: BS: Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy repeat From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Thanks for the link, Roger, but I don't quite understand the difference between some of the offerings. "primary phase, secondary phase..." are those difference episodes? I'd definitely be interested in negotiating with any member of the Mudcat masses who would like to help me out here... |

02 Sep 01 - 06:42 PM (#540448) Subject: RE: BS: Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy repeat From: The Walrus If I recall, the HHGTG was originally broadcast as two six part series, I presume that these are the two phases quoted. By the bye, did anyone else out there see the stage play? Walrus |
