This is the line I always choose when trying to explain how clever and different Douglas Adams' writing was. I love this series which I have on DVD, I have the books which I've read so many times I practically know them off by heart, I also bought in the 80's, and still have the very rare cassettes of the three books read by Stephen Moore - they are brilliant and hysterical and I've made them into MP3's so that I can play them in my car...

When I was seven I had a piano lesson once a week. My dad would pick me up afterwards from my teachers house at 7.00pm. He'd have radio 4 on and the latest installment of 'The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy' would just be starting. The drive home only took 10 minutes but my dad and I would stay in the car on the drive for another 20 minutes listening to Arthur and Ford's adventures every week until it finished. Happy memories!😀

OMG. That is exactly the same with me, just add three years. Piano lessons, Hitchhiker's on the radio after, same time even. Except I stayed in the car in the garage alone to finish listening to it. In the dark (the dark somehow added to the effect). Dad was/ is a great dad - I don't hold it against him the fact that we didn't share a love of Hitchhiker's Guide! He liked other BBC stuff though and let my siblings and I watch Monty Python and The Muppet Show. 😁
I was expecting some kind of punshline in your first paragraph because it felt like a quote straight out of a Douglas Adams Book.

Infact when the TV series came out it was amazing how what you'd imagined was pretty true to form. An absolute classic that's still as brilliant today as it was at the time it was written, became a radio series n then a TV series. Cheers alot for being able to pull it up for us all to enjoy.

Douglas died far too young at only the age of 49 shortly after using a treadmill in an American Gym whilst trying to get the movie made.

I used to record many BBC radio programs and stumbled upon the first transmission of the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I had a very good quality audio system and used to love the sound effects produced by the Radiophonics Workshop which sounded really spectacular. I was hooked! IMO because it left more to the imagination the radio version was better that the TV version and the TV version better than the film. Sadly the BBC isn’t funded to produce programs like this any more and the quality of their FM transmission doesn’t seem as good.😊
Clearly whoever directed "Independence Day" in the 90's had seen this. Almost identical shots of the ship moving over the city, the shadows over the buildings, even the ships themselves are almost identical. I haven't seen Hitchkiers since it aired, would love to watch the whole series again.

Real fans always start with the original radio series, with Douglas Adams at the helm
The books are still available read by Douglas. They even lifted his voice from the books so that he could posthumously play the part of Agrajag in the Tertiary and Quintessential series of radio plays.

Simon Jones was just so good as this bewildered, quintessential Englishman caught up in all these events.

Peter Jones was a genius. No offense to Stephen Fry (in the movie, the voice of the book), but no one could even come close to Jones’ superb air of understatement and blithe indifference.

He does a great job of being slightly serious at the beginning of each narration, introducing a bit of levity as he explains how absurd it all is. Stephen Fry did the narration as if he were reading a children's story.
I have read the book, have heard the audiobook and saw the new film. But none of this could have prepared me for this excellent perfomance! I mean take a look at 17:30 to 17:50 - "its green, yes!" Those are proper actors!
