EDIT - I'm a bit of a nerd, I also have original radio series on BBC cassettes and LP records :)
the book is well worth a read, the tv show is okay, the film is diabolically bad.
never heard the radio show.
Not sure what you're all on about, but I do have a cousin called Ford Prefect :).

Read the book and saw the series many years ago, never saw the film - film trailers tend to show the best bits, and they were grim enough, so didn't bother.Quote:

BBC have a history of hitting upon something that proves popular, then keep battering the formula long after it's died. Examples being Are You Being Served, Last of the Summer Wine and Silent Witness.
