Yeah yeah. I haven't heard them, but I have the book with printouts of the scripts, and there's some very witty stuff there that never made it to the "official" books. Plus, British radio comedy is a delightfully acquired taste all in its own (says a Goon Show fan).

I have another quasi-Adams-biography-and-HHGG-guidebook that talks about much of his earlier work, and the Failed Kamikaze Pilot sketch he did for The Burkiss Way sounds hysterical.

"How many missions have you been on?"
"Nineteen, sir."
"Let's see your mission log: couldn't find target... couldn't find target... forgot headband... couldn't find target... headache?"
"Headband too tight, sir."
"Vertigo... couldn't find target... couldn't find target. Now, you see, I just don't think you've been _looking_ very hard."
