H2G2

Anybody know where I could get my hands on the BBC radio and TV adaptations of the Hitchhiker's Guide?

is this what you're looking for? http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/ or this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/

Uh no and no. The TV mini-series and radio shows themselves, not their websites.

Mr. Greene has an album, I believe. I think it's a re-recording of the original radio series scripts (with some minor editing, episodes 1-5). Started in on "The Complete Guide" yesterday. (Which I think I stole from JBtJ?) It recounts all the different versions and mediums that the H2G2 has come out as. The story line of the movie doesn't reflect, entirely, the story line of the book. That's almost preferable considering the storyline of the book doesn't reflect the storyline of the radio series (or the TV series).

Saw the flick yesterday. Loved it! Very 1950s cartoon narration. LOVED it.

I should say "In the introduction it recounts all the different versions and mediums that the H2G2 has come out as."

The vinyl is mine. It is indeed a rerecording of pretty much the original scripts. The recounting of all the versions is continued in the Ultimate Guide, which has more (Mostly Harmless and Young Zaphod Plays it Safe) than the More Than Complete Guide, which I let you have when I acquired my UG.

OK, I have the MTCG, which has "Young Zaphod...", but not "Mostly Harmless"
