Hitchhiker's Guide ... Quandary Phase

**Chris** · 11-05-2005, 10:32

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 ...
