🌌 On this day in 1978 the very first episode of the very first version of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy went out on Radio 4. We can't tell you how proud that makes us.
Here's a lovely programme about Douglas and his creation, presented by his friend John Lloyd, that went out on the 40th anniversary.
🔍 May we invite you to lose yourself in hours of highly-entertaining detective drama? Over 30 episodes of Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown and Julie Enfield Investigates (and more added weekly).
Excited to see someone has tracked down and digitized seemingly all episodes of #CBC#SciFi#RadioDrama#VanishingPoint that were released on audio cassette in the 1980s. I knew a good chunk of Nightfall episodes had been tracked down and digitized in good quality in the last few years but was unaware of similar efforts for Vanishing Point until a few minutes ago. Only 24 episodes but that’s all that were released on cassette.
The rest of the available digitized episodes is also up on Internet Archive. The audio quality varies greatly in this set though.
The full set includes dramatizations of maybe seven J. G. Ballard stories and a six-part dramatization of the Ursula Le Guin novel The Dispossessed as well.
