The Sixth Hitchhikers book

I was listening to Radio 4 in the car this morning where they announced that a sixth book in the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy 'trilogy' is to be writen.

The writer will be Eoin Colfer, best known for his Artemis Fowl books. in the interview he said that he was going to write the sixth book in his own style similar to that of Artemis Fowl but using Douglas's characters. The sixth books title will be, And Another Thing...

Here is an article from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7619828.stm

As a huge fan of Douglas Adams I am a bit numb over this news to say the least. I will give it some more thought over a strong coffee.

My apologies for duplication of topic. But what is your thread doing on the 'sitcom' board when this is a book?

Because The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was a sitcom on TV and radio. No doubt the book will probably be adapted.

Ha, ha. No problem.
