The trailier is up to, some funny bits, some quite good epic sounds too,
a bit confusing as audio trailers can be. A fair few nods to hitch hikers.
A very nice dedication at the end.

Nice to see Peter Davidson, Stephen Moore and John Fortune in the cast.

Found this pretty interesting from the production notes.

“Some of the characters and plot devices are not in THE LONG DARK TEA TIME OF THE SOUL but inspired by Douglas’s notes for the third Dirk Gently novel – notes so brief they are not included in its unfinished, published form as THE SALMON OF DOUBT. On Douglas’s hard drive a sub-folder marked “The Old Salmon” contains a document named “The Whole Resource (Relevant)”. This is forty-three pages of his earliest notes for a book under the same title, quite a few of which feature characters and ideas from his previous magnum opus. Several of these have informed certain passages in these recordings, and may indirectly provide a means of helping Dirk Gently find a solution to various mysteries within the third radio series next year.”

Oh and is that Morwenna Banks doing an Eve Myles impression?
