Prof.Phreak writes "From HHGG: Twenty-five years after the original radio series of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy exploded into the public consciousness, the further exploits of its bewildered hero, Arthur Dent, are being brought to life in their original medium and with the (mainly) original cast. Episode 1- Tuesday 21 September 2004 6.30pm; In which Arthur wakes up, Trillian opts out, and Marvin is stuck fast..."

Star Wars DVDs or HHGG Radio play? Well, I'll probably be in my car at the time, so Hello Arthur...

The Vogons just told me not to bother, it doesn't have a future and neither do we.
On a slightly different note, the Earth won't be demolished for a hyperspace bypass. Rather for a new Sirius Cybernetics City box store.
Who listens to radio plays? by stratjakt · 2004-09-21 03:44 · Score: 1, Funny

I guess in jolly olde england where they only have two channels, and you have to pay a tithe to watch them, radio is still a valid form of entertainment.

Right then, bloody good show.

Seriously, they should make a movie or something. I dont even own a radio.

  They should make a movie? Because you don't own a radio? Boy, if there ever was a need for the Total Perspective Vortex...

  The secret, my dear fellow, is that on the two channels here in Blighty one can actually find something worthy of watching...
  
  It's five now, by the way, if you exclude satellite, cable, etc.

  Heh heh. That reminds me of an episode of "Due South" when Frazer was telling one of the American officers about the bully who tormented him as a child in the Yukon -- by hitting him with an otter.
  
  Officer: "Huh. Well, I guess that's what you get in a country with gun control ...."
  
  Frazer (turning): "Oh, I'm fairly certain that he shot the otter first."
  
  Sorry, just had to relive a moment....

If the editors were smart, Slashdot would Migrate to Windows Server 2003!

The Windows platform offers a lower overall total cost than UNIX, and many companies are learning that Windows Server(TM) is an even better investment than "free" Linux.

Why not attempt to fit sections of HHGTTG dialog over video clips from the StarWars DVDs?

  Assuming by your post that you natively speak english and not Vogon, no, you will not need a babelfish, but, just in case, don't forget to cover the drain, vent, etc with your towel, bag, etc prior to making a mess with all the mail you picked up back at home.
