Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I caught the last 5 mins or so but will listen again properly later. My initial verdict is 'hmm'.

I think it's some modern trendy hybrid between h2g2 and hhgttg.

I was a bit emotional.

[ Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy DT, new series written by Eoin Colfer started last night]

Sorry, I really didn't like it. I think the original was very much of its time and instead of seeming clever, what I listened to last night just sounded silly. Or maybe it's me that's changed - either way it really didn't work for me

I didn't get to listen but saw it described by a trusted source as something that's "almost, but not entirely unlike The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy."

HB and I seem to have similar views on this.

There was a huge recap for about 15 mins that annoyed slightly.

The final scene felt like a rework of something done better many, many years ago, right down to the reduction in ZB's headcount.
