I remember the Hitchikers TV series very well, it looks very dated now but seeing as its 1981 that's not surprising. Might be good to watch the whole thing again.
I see you been listening to 4.5, its not bad but quite patchy I think.

HH TV is dated, but you can see in the documentary that they tried to do some good effects. The book says that Adams didn't get on with the director.
I listened to Book of Regrets after mentioning it and thought I'd listen to the rest. Don't Hate Me is great.
The effects even then were cheesy, but it made you laugh for sure. That's what it was all about, that crazy story.
I really am not keen on the new 'Don't Hate Me' with Ninet, I prefer the solo version from Stupid Dream. He did sing this at the HCE concert as well as the rest of 4.5, but as Ninet was absent I got the version I prefer.
The effects were better on the radio of course :)
I expect I've heard the original Don't Hate Me. Will have to look it up. Ninet has her moments. Her solo version of Routine at the Albert Hall was heartwrenching.
I love Ninet and Routine is amazing, even when she sings it all, but I think I'm too used to the SD version of Don't Hate Me.
Great sax solo on this.
