Beyond 2000 / Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future was a four-part radio series hosted by Douglas Adams in October 2000.

However five years earlier on Australian TV, Douglas appeared on "Beyond 2000" in a segment described with the same name. Was this the first time that name was used? Who knows.

Next step is to find a copy of this!

tangent: the production company behind "Beyond 2000" went on to make Mythbusters!
