Don't Panic

Last night I was at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth to see The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy performed live on stage as a radio show by the original BBC production cast.
In it the 'Guide' says's that drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick. This is, I imagine, how most England football fans will be feeling this morning.
I,on the other hand, having missed it completely, can bask in the memory of having seen one of the best nights entertainment ever. The cast were on top form recreating the roles they had back in the early eighties and joined on this occasion by Rory McGrath as the voice of the book.
Simon Jones was a joy as Arthur Dent and the puppet version of Marvin the Paranoid Android (voiced by Stephen Moore) got the best cheers of the night.
A great evenings entertainment that I would thoroughly recommend to fans of the original show.

      It was an excellent performance in almost all respects. However Rory McGraths numerous slip ups, slightly slurred voice and constant references to the England football match suggests he may have sampled several Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters himself.
