New Trailer For Upcoming Hitchhiker's Episodes

Cally writes "I just heard a new programme trailer on BBC Radio 4 for the the first time. Some familiar voices... it's Arthur! It's Ford! It's the new radio series of Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy! The first broadcast goes out on Tuesday 21st September at 6:30pm (UK summertime, which is an hour off UTC.) Douglas Adams wrote the books in parallel with the two original radio series, which are still regarded as the definitive manifestation of HH-erdom. Hearing Mark Wing-Davey and Simon Jones' voices speaking new words - albeit new words from 'Life, The Universe and Everything' - is a spooky feeling. I just hope the sad death of Peter Jones does not detract from the final result. Let's hope the Beeb's live streaming media setup can cope with the mother of all Slashdottings!"

In honour of the fact that they're from Newport, five miles down the A40, I present to you the wise words of the mighty 'Goldie Looking Chains':

Guns Don't Kill People - Rappers Do

(cod police on loud-hailer)
Come out with your hands on your head
Turn the rap music off and step away from the stereo. Put the rap album down... leave MC Hammer alone. Turn it off!

Guns don't kill people - rappers do
Ask any politician and they'll tell you it's true
It's a fact music makes you violent
Like Michael Jackson telling little timmy to be silent. You don't believe me? Here's my hype -
Offer me the record and I'll show you the type
of criminal this rap shit is breeding - It's a fact that MC Hammer left me bleeding
Vanilla Ice made my mother say 'fuck'
If it was UB40 I would have been in love
But I didn't - I got it wrong
Cypress fuckin Hill taught me to make a fuckin bong
Well I started - I bought another tape The Power Boy Snap made my cock and balls ache
So remember kids - to the head, double tap -
Guns don't kill people - it's just rap

Guns don't kill people - rappers do. I seen it in a documentary on BBC 2. Shot to death outside Hypervalue - Guns blazin - like Michael Caine in
Zulu. Gun crime statistics are sometimes misleadin
The type of criminal rap is breeding Shot in the chest - no wonder you're stopping breathin "Two-four to base, over - are you recieving?"

Remember rap tracks in '87? Scott La Rock's up in 'ip 'op 'Eaven Biggie and Tupac - RIP
Even Jam Master Jay's in the cemetery
(chorus)
Guns don't kill people - rappers do I'm a fuckin rapper and I might kill you As a rapper I'm teaching you a lesson AK47 to Smith and Wesson
Just say no just like Zammo
Bulletproof vest to Guns 'n' Ammo
Hip Hop gangsta tripping -
Even Eminem's into pistol whipping

It's like crew to murder one
P. Diddy J Lo in a nightclub with a gun
Heard Snoop Dogg now wants to bust a cap
Guns don't kill people - it's just rap

One Two you'll face my shoe
The name's Mike Balls and I'm coming throuhg
Gun crime stabbing and burglarisation
Is on the rise all across the nation
The safety's off and the pistol's aimed
The yardies and the mafia always get blamed
Politians are shamed and they haven't got a clue
Rap is more deadly than fuckin kung fu

(chorus)

Guns don't kill people - rappers do
From Bristol Zoo to B&Q
I wanna rap - I wanna rhyme
Heard it in a song, now I'm into gun crime
It's a sign of the times, like Prince changing his name
Got to have a shooter to be in the rap game
I'm Michael Ryan about to snap -
Guns don't kill people - it's just rap
