"Oi mate!" sounds better in British detective shows than "Ai mate!".  (not to be confused with Aye)

I haven't listened to the radio shows, but the theme for the Hitchhiker's Guide TV series was "Journey Of The Sorcerer" by the Eagles from "One Of These Nights".

When it first came out on the radio a gang of used to meet up at a mates house an sit smoking on his huge water bed listening to it.  Ahhh the good old days where simple pleasures were the order of the day.🥰

Cool....I knew the series predates Deadwood....it just had the vibe.  Eagles OOTN's goes back a few.  I'm thinking just after High School 74 and into my first apartment with 4 other dudes 75...but the best was when "Frampton Comes Alive" came out six months later.....76

You do realise that the first video above is just a very substandard remake of the very fine original. As a movie it is ok it is a Holywood style interpretation. 🧐

I never actually saw the movie, only the original series. Posted that for the theme music which is the same.

The movie is enjoyable but its not like the original radio show. I mean how much can you squeeze in of the 13 hour radio show into a 90 minute movie.

It's public domain now but if you can't find it, I can share a link to my cloud. Just message me for a link. They are 30 minute mp3s of the original BBC Radio show. 1.5gb total

OK....I finished listening to HGTTU....and it was OK but nothing like 21st Precinct.  "...just lines on a map of the city of New York. Most of the 173,000 people wedged into the nine-tenths of a square mile between Fifth Avenue and the East River wouldn't know if you asked them that they lived or worked in the 21st."  That Captain Kennelly ...or is it Cannoli 🥟👮‍♂️ 🇮🇹😉 rocks?   "The 21st Precinct. 160 patrolmen, 11 sergeants and four lieutenants of whom I'm the boss. My name is Kennelly. Frank Kennelly. I'm Captain in command of the 21st"

The BBC did a tv series which is what I was referring to. It came out after the radio series. 😎

 

You could send me a link as it would be nice to hear the series again. 😋
