I knew this. However, as I knew you were a hitch-hiker fan (I think
we've discussed this before at some point) I couldn't let you get away
with the slip! ;-)

Only one thing to do - refresh the memory!
I was too young to listen to them when they were first broadcast over
here, but my dad taped them so I grew up listening to them over and
over. He missed the bridging episode, broadcast out of sequence (I
believe it's fit the first on the second phase), so when I bought the
tapes years later it was a revelation!
I recently watched the film again, and it's really astounding how badly
they buggered up Zaphod's character in that version... pretty good apart
from that though.
