That really is an excellent (and rather long) piece.
I've often wondered how much of the original HHGTTG radio series was really John Lloyd his producer, who often had no choice but to take what Douglas had produced and bash it into shape to make a workable script.
I often wonder what could have been produced if Douglas had just had a little more focus, and whether that might have just taken the edge off his work.
