Hitchhiker's Guide ... Quandary Phase
 

I missed the first episode of this on R4 last week ... in fact, by the time I realised the Beeb were transmitting the new series, it was a week too late and I missed it on the Listen Again service too! :(

Does anybody know where on the web I might still find episode 1 of this new series?

Pretty please ....

So far Google and other search engines have drawn a blank, only one person seems to have recorded it but he made it available on his ftp server for 24 hours only. It's now a dead link.

NEW SERIES?
What new series?

There is the old series being reshown, is there a new series as well as a new film?

BBC R4 has started broadcasting radio adaptions of So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish, and Mostly Harmless, as an eight-part series, AFAIK the first four programmes called Quandary Phase, and the final four Quintessential Phase. This follows last summer's rather good six-part radio series, Tertiary Phase.

I have the complete, original first two series on my iPod (and I listened to the whole lot on a trip to London and back at the start of this week!) and also the third, which I recorded from the BBC Listen Again service last year. I am recording Quandary Phase, part 2, right now. But I missed part one. :( Somebody, for Zarquon's sake, please help!

Its a torrent site with loads of classic Radio and TV stuff. Not looked, but might be on there.

I did come across a torrent to the episode I'm after, and I've emailed the link home to myself, the problem is I'm on dialup at home and the file is 30Mb. I might not have much luck. A straight MP3 that I can download in the traditional manner from my work PC with it's nice mega-fast 'net connection would be ideal ...

I missed it as well :( If you PM me the torrent, I could try to get it tonight (am at work as well) then upload the file for you to get tommorrow if you can wait for it?

If you give me an hour i'll send you a more direct link. ;)
