To mark the 42nd anniversary of the radio broadcast of the first instalment of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, BBC Radio 4 Extra are devoting a sizeable chunk of their evening schedule to programmes about the series, interspersed with the first six episodes of the story itself.
I can't help but notice that there's nary a mention of this on the front page on the BBC Sounds application or the web site. I was alerted to it by #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy trending in Twitter.1 Still definitely worth a listen.
- In fairness, that might well just be the modern way of achieving the desired end and I'm just too stuck in my ways to have picked up on that. ↩
