I remember tuning in to the first episode on BBC Radio 4, having heard about it the previous evening. It was so absolutely tuned into my way of thinking it could have been written just for me. Even now, as they say, the pictures are better on radio. Other adaptations have always disappointed me, apart from the subsequent books, for the same reason.

Douglas Adams was a great loss when he died, but what we had from him was the best.

Exactly my feelings. The CD boxed set, now scratched and basically unplayable, is still one of my prized possessions. I've probably listened to it hundreds of times, often back to back.

Sadly the CDs were a little different to the original radio broadcasts due to rights issues. Notably Marvin 'humming like Pink Floyd' on the surface of Magrathea was missing :(
