Great news. Those froods at the BBC really know where their towels are at.
Production is under way on the Tertiary Phase of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, with episodes due to begin airing on Radio 4 in spring 2004.
A six-part adaptation of Life, the Universe and Everything will be up first in the spring. This will be followed towards the end of 2004 by an eight-week serialisation combining So Long and Thanks for All the Fish with Mostly Harmless.
The news comes just weeks after confirmation that the planned movie version of the original Hitchhiker's is finally emerging from mothballs.
On the production front, the great news is that the series will be written and directed by the massively experienced Dirk Maggs - Adams' own choice[.] ... The Hitchhiker's production is set to re-unite six members of the original cast: Simon Jones [Arthur], Geoffrey McGivern [Ford], Mark Wing-Davey [Zaphod], Susan Sheridan [Trillian], Stephen Moore [Marvin] and announcer John Marsh. Those joining them will include William Franklyn as the voice of the Book and Richard Griffiths as Slartibartfast. The late Douglas Adams himself will appear as Agrajag (a cameo he favoured playing) thanks to recordings made for Dove Audio's unabridged book readings.
Full story here.

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.

Babelfish and 42, aah. Nothing better than Arthur and Ford Prefect chasing flying couches.
