(was HHGttG @ 30)

It's been pointed out to me that Saturday March 8th is the 30th Anniversary of the first Broadcast of the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I'll have to celebrate it then by listening to the Primary Phase on CD.

[The Doctor]

I shall dig out the CD's on the holy day.

Douglas Adams would have been 61 today - check out Google for a little tribute.

42: The wildly improbable ideas of Douglas Adams

Being crowdfunded right now, ending soon on KS, but can also back on Unbound.

A book for all fans of Douglas Adams offering a unique insight into his life and work.

After his death in 2001, Douglas Adams's papers were loaned to his old Cambridge college, St John's – over 60 boxes full of notebooks, research, letters, scripts, jokes, speeches, to-do lists, hard drives and even poems.

The book will reproduce in facsimile form extracts from the archive with explanatory text and footnotes to add context. Developed in close association with Adams’s family and literary estate, 42 will be a full-colour, large-format hardback that follows his career from early collaborations with Graham Chapman to his work on Doctor Who, through the Hitchhiker years, Dirk Gently, his groundbreaking non-fiction book Last Chance to See and his later digital work. Alongside this are details of projects that never came to fruition like a proposed theme park ride and a TV series provisionally entitled The Secret Empire.
