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."

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.
