From searching I've discovered some more info on Adams, and a dozen or so of you are fans, so here goes...

He had been working on a 6TH HITCHIKER'S BOOK for at least a decade, but only wrote about 12 chapters of it before he died. It will, as far as I know be released, incompleted, on May 11th, his deathday. As well as the book, The Salmon Of Doubt, it will include unpublished material, a little-known short story published some years ago, featuring Zaphod, and letters...etc.
That's what I've heard. No news on a movie, I don't think it's going to happen, somehow. Which is a real shame. By the way, the radio series broadcast by the BBC is available on CD, as I now own it. It's difficult to find anything but a £80 deluxe set, but there is a normal version available, re-released in the last few years! Any other Adams fans out there, who haven't replied before!
I know I keep going on about it, but I'm rather obsessed!

Really? Great, I hope it sort of finished off though and doesn't leave us hanging!

I'll have to check around down here for the CD of the radio version I havent heard of it, but that doesn't mean much, and would love to have it.
