On a related note, they also host a browser based version of Infocom's HHGTTG text adventure and have upgraded it since with graphics and sounds. A new version is out now to commemorate its 30 year anniversary.

I still have the packaging and all the bits and bobs that came with the Infocom game. Someday I should make a little video showing it all, and reading the funny booklet the game box included.

Same here. And all other Infocom games as well, sadly collecting dust in the basement.

Please explain!

PS: I'm listening to Journey of the Sourcerer!
PPS: Ranthe, thanks for the link to the Nutrimatic video. I enjoyed it. Share and enjoy.

In the original broadcast, when they're on Magrathea, there's a bit of Pink Floyd music playing which you think is for ambiance. But then Arthur says, "Did you know that robot can hum like Pink Floyd? What else can you do, Marvin?" to which Marvin replies, "Rock and roll?" and plays a bit of Beatles.

When the series was released on CD and whatnot, they didn't have rights to include that bit.
