H2G2 again

Hitch-Hikers! Hurray! What, you missed it? Listen again on Thursday night (Radio 4, 23:00 BST), or after that it should be available as a RealAudio stream from the BBC's page. [*cough*WireTap*cough*]

Oh, sorry -- you wanted to know if it was any good? Well... depends what you expect. Personally, I was expecting a well-delivered reminder of Adams' incomparable turns-of-phrase and leaps of fancy. Flolopping matresses, the man who hates Sunday afternoons so much he's resolved to insult every individual in the universe in alphabetical order, time-travelling Chesterfield sofas. That sort of thing. That's what I got, and I'm happy.
