"DON'T PANIC" this is the ORIGINAL BBC Radio Series from 1978-80. Available now on the bbc Radio Player. May be an unabridged version but I'm unsure about this. If this is posted in the wrong place please feel free to delete.

To those who ask where were the Out campaign's plans for Brexit?
“the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the plans, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. They were on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
just don't, please, mention the dreadful Americanised 'movie' ...

Great series, and IIRC they insisted on the cast of the radio series when the filmed the TV show.
... plans for the bypass were in a dark basement, in a locked toilet, behind a door marked "beware of the leopard"...

An atrocious version of Marvin. The yanks, incredibly think it's a better version which sort of says it all about their taste (or lack of) Alan Rickman did his best but was far far FAR worse than the memorable original and wonderful Stephen Moore

I wasn't even going to go there... brain the size of a planet, and they make me call the lift (or something like that)

Good find, though this is only the first series. Anyone seen the complete series for sale on CD?

I got mine from the Book People a couple of years ago (all 5 phases) - but the company that manufactured the box set went into administration. Not sure who got the rights after that.

If you got a library card ,your local library will probably be a member of overdrive where you can download the mp3 versions for free. My library also has on cd if you wish to check yours . I orgionally had this on cassette but wore it out.
Its also on I think its on radio 4 extra (freeview) at 6.30pm today (episode2) so if you have sky or other tv recording device you could record on a series link?

I love everything Hitchhikers (even the movie) and I have listened to the first two audio series several times so definitely hot for me. I encourage EVERYONE to listen to this rare gem and check out the rest of Douglas Adams' work.
