Just read this over on sci-fi's website, Oh this could be SO good, or be So bad.
but with 5 of the original cast coming back.... oh please let it rock not suck..
Late SF author Douglas Adams, creator of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, will be heard in an upcoming U.K. radio dramatization of the final three books in the beloved series, the British Press Association news service reported. The author recorded the part of Agrajag—a character who repeatedly dies and is resurrected—at his home studio 18 months before his sudden death in 2001 at the age of 49, the PA reported.
Producers have used digital technology to bring his voice back to life in the radio program based on Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless.
The series began life as a radio broadcast in 1978. Five of the original radio cast, including Simon Jones as Arthur Dent and Geoffrey McGivern as his alien traveling companion Ford Prefect, will voice the new Radio 4 series, which will be broadcast in 14 parts starting later this year, the PA reported.
The creators used Adams' instructions and notes, which he made in preparation for the latest radio productions, the news service reported.

[B]The British are a bit more finicky about doing things properly than, say, Hollywood. :) I think it will be great. [/B][/QUOTE]
Not only the fact that its being done by the Brits (as it should) but the fact htat its being done according to rules that Douglas Adams set down, AND that he even did work on it before he died, AND that 5 of the orig cast (including Arthur and Ford) i think it'll be BRILLIANT!
i'm gussing that the other 3 are going to be Zaphod (mark wing-davie) Trillian and Marvin. but i could be wrong.
