Yes. This is from the LP. My favourite version. I just reread the entire “trilogy”. Very well worth re-reading. The last book gets a little odd and somewhat dark… and romantic, which is nice. My daughter has been reading them too and enjoying them immensely. No real comparison to anything else in any medium.
Holy Zarquon, singing fish! This ISN'T the radio broadcast version! It's the Original Records LP. The big difference is that in the BBC radio broadcast the Black Ship belonged to the Haggunenon admiral. That part of the story was written by producer John Lloyd, when Douglas Adams was suffering from writer's block. For later incarnations of The Guide (notably: LP, novel & TV), Douglas removed John Lloyd's material, so as not to share writing credits & royalties. Douglas was fond of ninghies. Hence, he substituted Hotblack Desiato & Disaster Area for the Haggunenon.
There’s tons of other small differences to the radio play as well; lots of added/changed sound effects and background music, as well as post-production alterations to the original sound sometimes. I listened to the BBC tapes obsessively back in the early 90s and picked up on this almost immediately.
is the second book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comedy science fiction "trilogy" by Douglas Adams, and is a sequel. It was originally published by Pan Books as a paperback. The book was inspired by the song "Grand Hotel" by British rock band Procol Harum.[1] The book title refers to Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, one of the settings of the book.
If this was a true story story that quantim computer would be floating above a planet in a simulation, projecting their history of what happend in that universe. Almost like a history of these jules
I wonder if I still have my cassette recording from the radio. But this comment is confirming that some things sound a bit different. Still great though.
I've not heard this version before, but I have found the collected 'Entire Works' which has more stuff in iy. I thought it was so good that I'm working my way though recording a reading of it. Not finished yet, but I've got half way through this disc's coverage. I've got more scenes :-) Have a listen to my "Torty Talks" podcast. Please tell me what you think ! I heard the show on its first BBC broadcast in 1978 - it left a mark.
