Lady...: actually, I think they said "the mortal Douglas Adams." Still, perhaps, insensitive, but in a way that I like to think the man would appreciate.
It annoyed me somewhat when characters spoke lines that were narrated in the book - like they were crammed in for the sake of preserving the gag - but in general I quite liked it. It doesn't have the spontaneity of the original series, but then it's not being written minutes before broadcast either, is it.
Oh, show of hands: who else would have been quite happy to simply overlook the obvious disparity between the second radio series (Total Perspective Vortex etc.) and the novels -as we have all along- rather than draw needless attention to it and dismiss it as, most likely, a flamboyant hallucination?
Oh dear. I realize that this post is mostly complaints. Don't get me wrong: I'm thrilled that they're doing this, I want to hear all of it, and it gave me lovely shivers to hear the opening twangs of "Journey of the Sorceror." But the goodness is that soft yummy glow that doesn't lend itself to verbalization, and it's so easy, by comparison, to complain... :S
