On this day in 1978

[hitmouse]

the first episode of The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy was broadcast on BBC Radio 4.

I remember it clearly.

I write the 'On This Day' box calendar and I see that for today I was a good Hoopy Frood and used this fact!

The new series begins tonight at 6:30 on Radio 4, for anyone interested.

Back then, I missed the first episode but became a fan when it was repeated a few days later.

So do I.
Sitting in my bedroom with my ears glued to my old Grundig radio.
I think you can get them all now on CD.
