π 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. #RadioDrama #comedy #ScienceFiction #SciFi #CultFiction #DouglasAdams π± Facebook is 20.

π According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, the world will end on a Saturday. A Saturday quite soon, in fact. The whole of our six-part adapation of @neilhimself and Terry Pratchett's wonderful 1990 fantasy Good Omens is on BBC Sounds now - and you can listen from anywhere in the world. Tell your friends, good or evil. #NeilGaiman #TerryPratchett #fantasy #drama #funny #GoodOmens

@BBCRadio4 @neilhimself Awww. BBC doesn't have the full version. I bought it on Audible a while back but had to return because the quality was so bad. Do you have a purchase link anywhere for the uncut version of the series?  LB: A friend of mine is in this, somewhat briefly, playing Elvis. Terry is in it as well, also briefly, in a scene with Neil where they play coppers. It's a truly wonderful adaptation. Hello everyone! π We've joined the fediverse as part of an experiment with our friends from BBC Research & Development.

@BBCRadio4 Loved it. Listened at night on Radio 4, caught the repeats, bought the books & the album watched TV series and the movies.
Cried when Adams died.
Only recently found out that the theme music is Eagles' Journey of the Sorcerer.
