This is how a radio play should be. It’s not just a story read out loud with token sound effects. It’s using the medium to tell a story in a totally original way. The way the voice switches between the old guide and the new, the jog-jog-jog proof system, the sense of place and scene from a simple echo on the Vogon voice, and the overdubbing on Zaphod Beeblebrox. An entire backstory, told in less than two minutes of radio, using a few simple audio tricks.

The opening to the third radio series of the Hitchhikers Guide - Tertiary Phase - Fit the Thirteenth. Find it from the BBC Radio 4 website.
