The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (Author), Russell T. Davies (Introduction) Kindle Edition £1.09 @ Amazon.
The intergalactic adventures of Arthur Dent begin in the first volume of the 'trilogy of five', Douglas Adams' comedy sci-fi classic The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
On 12 October 1979 the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor (and Earth) was made available to humanity - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed, in large friendly letters, with the words: DON'T PANIC.
The weekend has only just begun . . .
With exclusive bonus material from the Douglas Adams archives, and an introduction by formerDoctor Who showrunner, Russell T Davies.

Voted cold as the original radio play is available online (free). Nothing could beat that! Although I have the full series of all the Hitchhiker books read by Douglas Adams himself! The television series and the film were pants!

where? i've always wanted to listen to the original, but i understood they've never released it due to music licensing issues.
Can I pay extra not to have the Russell T. Davies introduction ?

I bought the collection a long time ago on Amazon, but that version is no longer listed so you cannot find it, and if I search my order history I can see the order, click on it and page doesn't exist. I can however download it on my Kindle still, very strange.
