Douglas Adams at the BBC disc 1 - Douglas Adams

Written by Douglas Adams
Format: M4B

Douglas Adams at the BBC is a three CD set released by BBC Audio in 2004 (ISBN 0-563-49404-2).[1] By using extracts from many radio and TV productions, the three discs cover Douglas Adams’s association with BBC Radio and TV from 1974 to 2001, and also include tributes to Adams that were transmitted between 2001 and 2003. Subjects are covered in an A-Z format (thus becoming an “A-Z of Douglas Adams”). Linking narration on all three discs is provided by Simon Jones. Several of the sketches, many of which are included for the first time since their original transmissions, had been discussed in biographies of Adams (e.g. Don’t Panic by Neil Gaiman and Wish You Were Here by Nick Webb). In addition, the complete script for “The Lost Hitchhiker Sketch” appears in the 25th anniversary edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: The Original Radio Scripts. Disc one covers subjects A to G, disc two covers subjects H to P, and disc three covers subjects Q to Z.
