So Long And Thanks For All the Episodes

BBC Radio is reviving a series most of us are too young to have experienced first-hand. They have created 6 new episodes of Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy that will air over the coming weeks. Through the miracle of technology, Douglas Adams will be playing the role of Agrajag, despite the notable handicap of being dead.

Let's all raise a Djinan Tawnic to this sci-fi masterpiece and its talented creator. I will be glued to my (internet) radio after Thursday, when it becomes available for general download. The times listed on the web page are GMT+1, hence I can't listen live. I will be working, but such is life. If I can find a way to save the audio streams, I will do so.

Hey Josh,
Well the miracle isn't really so miraculous. Adams, i'm not sure of the frequency, but used to perform various selections from the Hitchhiker trilogy on a stage with a live audience. He would basically sit on a chair and read excerpts from the book. I've listened to one such performance and it was just fabulous. So the conversion process from death back to life was a little easier than say 2Pac. Now his resurgence is beyond technology and I might even harbor the idea of religion, but he was 1 movie and 1 infomercial short. He was close. Very very close.
