Hope you enjoy!

I've listened to the first 15 minutes and I am enjoying it so far. Definate HHGTTG vibe to it. Faecal Treacle made me laugh out loud. Will come back when I have finished it.

They are obviously not interested in what I thought of the rest of the show......

I lasted three minutes into Episode 1.

It's simply not funny enough. In fact it's barely funny at ALL.

The script is very light on laughs and heavy on words with far too much not-very-funny exposition. It needs pruning with a chain saw.

I think Hitchhikers and Discworld are responsible for 42% of all fan fiction...

Sorry guys, bit late feeding back on the rest. I listened through to the end. First thing I would say it that the production values and performances were very good. It over long though and rambled in places. Big thumbs up for the Royal Mail answer-phone bit. That was very well done and very funny.

I'm not sure about the 'Hitchhikers' style narration. Some of the surreal narration isn't mirrored in the action. In HHGTTG the plots, subplots and much of the dialogue were consistently surreal. A lot of your action is traditional (for want of a better word) and played straight (comedy straight obviously). What I am trying to say is that the narration isn't really adding much.

That said, I enjoyed it.

Thanks for all the feedback, all very useful :)
