I never caught the radio show -- I was only 8 years old at the time --but I do remember it. The TV series, about 3 years later, was great though and very true to the book. You should watch it if you've never seen it. It's very dated now but I think that only adds to the entertainment. If you do watch it, look out for the Magrathea scenes, which were filmed at the Eden Project's site (a former clay pit).
