    I am a long term fan of H2G2, and I always thought that the theme tune was created by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. I just found out that the theme was actually written by the Eagles[^]. Someone smacked my gob, I'm that gobsmacked.

        This was my favourite theme tune for any programme from the BBC. Now that I know this, I can listen to it at any time. I am so happy.

            I know. I wouldn't have thought that they were the usual suspects for a group like the Eagles.

              I'm pretty sure I've known that since the 80s. It is definitely stated in

                Way back in University, my roommates DJed on the student radio station. They borrowed the H2G2 tapes and we had an H2G2 party to beat all parties with the episodes playing. We even created a version of the classic Penta-Galactic Gargle Blaster. From what I remember, a good time was had by all. I did wake up feeling like I had a brain the size of a planet.

                      The original radio play is on the internet archive. That's my favorite version of HHG.

                        I got the radio version when it was first released by the BBC.
