I have always loved watching this show when it first appeared on TV in the very early 1980s. I later found out it was originally a radio show and lapped up the official releases when I found a version of the radio shows on vinyl later in the 1980's.


Of course, the radio show was later released as a tape set and a CD set followed by the video released and the DVD, so although I don't have the videos anymore, I have the others.


Then there was the film ... well the screenplay had also been created by Douglas Adams before his untimely death in 2001. You will find the limited edition DVD and book on this site.

Finally the original vinyl records were released again as a Record Store Day release in 2020 - was that too soon after the other releases? This is here too!


Here though is the original BBC Transcription Disc from the original show for episodes one and two from 1978! The disc is in excellent condition, bearing in mind it is nearly 53 years old ...
