- Agreed! Episodes 9-12 of H2G2/Radio were possibly some of the best radio I've
- ever heard - I often dig out the tapes just of Ep.10-12, as stuff such as
- Poodoo suddenly appearing with three Allitnils, (and Varntvar the priest..)
- who does "Weddings. Other stuff as well, but mostly weddings."...
- has me rolling on the floor (well, almost) every time.
- Arthur asking the Footwarriors to stop shooting because 'I've just got three
- impromptu weddings breaking out behind me' - 'Weddings? Did you say weddings?'
- - 'Yes! With this ring I thee wed, and so on' - 'Can we come?' - whoa!
- Unbeatable stuff..
- Oh dear. I think you'll find reality's on the blink again. :-)
-
- The whole bit (especially later on) smacks slightly of DNA writing himself
- out of a hole (esp. Poodoo etc, reality folding up..) but it is eaaassily the
- best bit of the whole series, probably the wierdest bit in the whole story.
