A HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY 9

Ralph Johnson — Sun, 04 May 2008 11:40:41 GMT

A HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY 9 For further information, contact the author at: dickjudge@juno.com A British export but a welcome sound. This twelve part series was so well received in Great Britain that it was repeated three times on British radio. It was turned into a best-selling book, a record album and a London stage show. We in the colonies were treated to this highly amusing series in the early 1980s, usually airing over NPR. This is the story that begins on Earth,"an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea." Our hero is Arthur Dent, the only survivor when Earth was demolished to make way for an inter-galactic bypass, which, as it turned out, wasn't needed after all. He embarks on a ramble through the universe with an ordinary looking neighbor who, it turns out, comes from another planet and is a "roving researcher" for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. NOTE: Both the six hour and ninety minute variations of the Hitchhiker's Guide are available and in circulation. For any further information or questions about this series please feel free to contact dickjudge@juno.com.

For four years after 1945, London and the South East witnessed vicious confrontations between the remnants of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists and Jewish ex-servicemen organised in the 43 Group.

Their goal was to drive fascism from the streets and silence its message forever.copied from a usenet group
