The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy returns to Radio 4 in a brand new series on Tuesday 21 September at 6.30pm!

The first series of 6 new episodes began on Tuesday 21 September at 6.30pm, with repeats on Thursdays at 11.00pm

You can listen to them here :)
 
Was good - I listened to it last night ... not as good as the book though, but still better than most of the rubbish on the telly. :rolleyes:
 
Don't be absurd, the original radio series was always better than the books (it shows that Douglas Adams wrote it first), and I have high hopes for this new series. A lot of the radio series was nigh-improvised, concocted just before or during recording, whereas when Douglas Adams had time to sit down and work he actually overwrote a lot of his ideas, making them not so effective as they were across the radio. Still hilarious, just not quite as good.

Anyone entered a piece for the competition to recompose Earth's entry in the HHGTTG? I whipped up an entry a few days ago and sent it in - I won't win, but I enjoy writing anyway so I thought that I may as well.

Download it from the BBC website, but you'll need RealPlayer (a pile of steaming dirt) or the RealPlayer plugin for your browser, because for some unfathomable reason the BBC decided that it would be a sensible course of action to make it prerequisite.
 
Did a search and came up with this info :)

How would I save a realplayer stream to disk without having to watch
the WHOLE video first? "save as" only saves a 1kb .ram file, which
only opens up the actual stream. I want to save the stream as a whole
since my connection isn't all that great. Thanks.

Loop Recorder for Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000 and XP records audio data from
your soundcard. It is designed for capturing songs from the radio or
internet radio.

Go to configuration, and add the following string to the types to
monitor: " .MP3; .AVI; .MOV; .WMV;.ASF; .MPG; .MPEG; .RAR; .AVI; .WAV;
.ACE". (Just cut & paste).

Click "Apply", and then the next time you open IE/NS/whatever it
should be monitoring for you.

Now, whenever a website wants to start streaming pretty much any
standard media file to you, GetRight will pop-up instead and ask if
you want to save to d/l to disk. Works wonders.

You can't listen to it? I can listen to it perfectly, but I want to save it to my HD. The links you gave don't work, Wabbit (well, the links work, but the programs don't record a thing).

Cheers
 
I don't even know what XMMS is.

As soon as I've got it downloaded I'll see what I can do for you.

OH, well, don't know :) Did you try the programs using windows media format? I think those programs might work with that, rather than realmedia files.
