The HHGttG - my fifth reading - I think ... Poetry cornered - and a breathless escape
HHGttG - by Douglas Addams. He was a terribly clever chap and I like reading his stuff, so I've done it here and I'm quick about it too ! But - Arthur and Ford are only on their first space ship by the end ... The dreadful sound of a Babel fish doing its job but not helping much during a conversation at an airlock. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simon-r-anthony/message

HHGttG - In which we meet Zaphod and Trillian and almost meet Marvin on the Heart of Gold
I've lost count of how many episodes I have recorded. This one ends just before Chapter 12.  Zaphod is Galactic President and is a thief. Trillian is another escapee from Earth, but we don't know that yet and Marvin hasn't mentioned his diodes either. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simon-r-anthony/message

HHGttG -The End of the Earth to the Dentrassis sleeping area.
So far my reading starts where the half hour slot for my Ambron Radio broadcast runs out and picks up where I can find a sort of re-entry point. Th brick like Vogons do their thing, then get ready for the poetry - in the next episode.. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simon-r-anthony/message

The Third part of my reading of the Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy
I started with Douglas Addams'  introduction, then found there was little space left for a decent chunk of the actual book, so part two starts quite close to the story's beginning. This section has not moved on very far as yet. Arthur is still in the mud and the Vogons are biding their time - hanging around. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simon-r-anthony/message

WeekEnding Christmas 1976 and a police car chase - via the radio
These recordings are from my ancient tape archive, recovered thanks to Kaleidoscope. Week Ending was a Radio 4 topical comedy sketch show of very high quality. Following that, is a VHF radio recording of a car chase through London around the same time. It has a happy ending - if you are not the baddies. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simon-r-anthony/message

BBC Lively Arts TV programme celebrating Dr Who in 1977. Part 1 of 2
Just the TV sound, recorded directly by wire - not sure why I didn't record the video. I think I had a VHS by then but tapes were so very expensive - and I had not joined the BBC yet... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simon-r-anthony/message
