Slightly off topic but maybe of interest to those following this thread that breaking news on The Douglas Adams Continuum Forum, is that the company behind the recent 'Hitchhiker's Guide' radio series are to make Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently books into a BBC Radio 4 drama.

BBC Radio 4 has commissioned Above The Title (with Dirk Maggs at the helm) to make an 18 x 30 minute adaptation of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently books, following the indie's successful production of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It will run over 3 series of 6 episodes and will begin in October of this year. It was ordered by commissioning editor for comedy and entertainment; Caroline Raphael.
