Another Hitchhikers' fan??

I have only ever enjoyed the radio series. (First heard on of these when I was 15 and doing O'Level homework.)

An experienced hitchiker would list a towell in his signature.

...and a towel... ;-) (Don't Panic)

Do you want me to sit in a corner and rust or just fall apart where I'm standing?

Just messing with uploading to flickr from screen grab in iPhone then pasting as picture here (also on iPhone).

Given that whathisname has long left the forum, and given us a 'mess around' thread, then it seemed right to mess around.

I kept it suitably on off-topic (or off on-topic) with Hitchhiker's Guide related pics. from my library. (Ripped @ 320kbps AAC VBR - with correction on - from my CD boxset.)

I had mine on cassettes recorded from FM radio. Recorded them every Sunday evening untill I ended up with a stack of tapes. I later downloaded two other iterations of the BBC radio show, but they were different.

How did you do that in 1978? How old were you?

I listened but didn't record unfortunately.

It was in 2002, I was 20 and a student. A local radio station (mostly plays electronic music) decided to broadcast the radio drama one episode weekly at midnight. I had an old dual well tape deck and recorded them on various used cassettes (had zero empty space on my HDD). That was the first time I heard the HHGTG and I was immediately hooked. Got the book later on.

I hoped this thread was a flounce. I do love a good flounce. But it's not, sadly. Oh well.

Ok, sorry I never realised before that the BBC let this stuff out on European radio.

(Before Radio 4Extra came out, the last repeat on Radio 4 was in 1983).

Repeats are more frequent nowadays.

Some shows I liked back then (10 y ago) I can't believe how rubbish they feel today. Example Down the line with Gary Bellamy. But I can enjoy in fascination HHGTG at any time. For me it's timeless.
