Have never read the book
I have never read the books, not sure if I want to.
The radio play is it for me. My sisters and I first heard it when FM (stereo!) radio was introduced to Australia and we used to sit on the floor next to the stereo with our giant headphones on to get the full effect. Modern technology was marvellous!!
I downloaded it for my iPod last year, and listened to it while travelling from Sydney to Brisbane on the train, just after Christmas - much more discreet!
The version I downloaded included interviews at the end - and I think this section was produced when they were about to make the movie and just before Douglas Adams' death.
I have videos of the TV series, which I believe had basically the same cast as the radio plays.
I am not really sure if I want to know the rest of the series either.
My daughter loves the series but was introduced to it by the movie so thinks my videos are a bit primitive. She has read the books but I haven't persuaded her to listen to the play yet.
I can highly recommend the radio plays anyway.
