Hitchhiker's news

Quick review of latest Hitchhiker-related news:

• BBC's Radio 4 is going to start broadcasting on the 21st of September the three last Hitchhiker books. Agrajag is played by Douglas Adams himself (the role was recorded before his death), and some of the actors from the 80s BBC TV series play original roles. More info at the BBC Radio 4 site.
• A film adaptation starring John Malkovich will be released in June 2005. More info at The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy film homepage.
• Last, but not least: a text adventure written by Adams will be revived on Radio 4's web site.

  The text adventure will appear on the station's website and was described by the late Adams as "the first game to move beyond being 'user friendly'".

  “It’s actually ‘user insulting’ and because it lies to you as well it’s also ‘user mendacious,’” he said.
