756 Do you know where your towel is?

You'd better, because the BBC has released the first episode of the New Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio show. The first of a six part series, the series is available for your listening pleasure in in either Real or Windows Media flavors (including an experimental SurroundSound for you audiophiles). And I suggest you hurry, because they're only available for a limited time.

Twenty-five years after the original radio series of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy exploded into the public consciousness, the further exploits of its bewildered hero, Arthur Dent, are being brought to life in their original medium and with the (mainly) original cast.

The last three books of the ‘trilogy in five parts’, Life, The Universe And Everything; So Long And Thanks For All The Fish and Mostly Harmless, have been dramatised as two new series (none of them were previously produced for radio).

As the original two series were dubbed the Primary and Secondary Phases by Douglas Adams, these new series form the Tertiary, Quadrenary and Quintessential Phases.

Thanks to the wonders of digital technology, Douglas Adams himself can be heard playing the part of Agrajag.

The Hitchhiker series was created by the late, great Douglas Adams, himself an Apple Master (and that's what it has to do with Macintosh, ya punk!)

Bill's been using Macs since the late 80s. When he's not making smartass remarks to amuse Kirk Hiner, he enjoys fighting for the user.
