New Hitchhiker's Guide Radio Series Announced

AllieA writes "The BBC has announced that they will be adapting the final three Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books for radio, with this 'tertiary phase' including Life, the Universe, and Everything; So Long and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. Members of the original radio series cast, including Simon Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Mark Wing-Davey, Susan Sheridan, Stephen Moore and announcer John Marsh, will all take part in the new series, set to start next spring and be completed before the end of 2004."

Finally....

A reason to listen to "normal" radio again!

I tend to listen only to Internet radio stations where I can steer the type of programming I listen to. There is all too little original programming on broadcast radio that makes it worthwhile - and waaay too much commercialised pop rubbish.

Think about it - when was the last time you actually *looked forward* to something on the radio? And when was the lst time on TV?

Right!

Without Peter Jones as "The Book" I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Also, it's important to point out that there were many differences between the books, the scripts, and the television production.

Adoption of the remaining three books to Radio by anyone other than DNA himself is something I don't believe will work.
