By Douglas Adams. From April 1978. SAT Arthur Dent is one of only two survivors from Earth, SAT demolished to make way for a by-pass. He survived thanks to SAT his friend, Ford Prefect (who hails not from Guildford, but SAT somewhere near Betelgeuse), a writer for the Hitchhiker's SAT Guide To The Galaxy, "the most successful book ever to have SAT come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa SAT Minor". They've managed to escape from Restaurant at the End SAT of Universe on the Black Ship only to find themselves where SAT they never thought they'd be, only 2 million years earlier. SAT What on earth are they going to do when face to face with SAT 'how, why and where phases' of galactic development? SAT The global multi-media success story that is "Hitchhiker's" SAT started life as a Radio 4 series in March 1978. The original SAT scripts by the late Douglas Adams then went on to spawn a SAT series of novels, a feature film, at least three stage SAT shows, a TV series, a computer game, a collection of comic SAT books - and various towels. SAT The Guide helpfully informs us that the most obscene SAT expletive in the Galaxy is "Belgium". SAT Douglas Adams was born in Cambridge and died in 2001 aged SAT 49, after a fatal heart attack in his gym in California.

SUN SUN 11:30 The Chaplin Archive b00yqhrh (Listen) SUN Episode 1 SUN An exclusive look into Charlie Chaplin's life through his SUN personal archives. Some of this material has never been SUN revealed before so it's a wonderful opportunity for the SUN Radio 4 audience. SUN In 1952 America turned it's back on Charlie Chaplin. His had SUN been the classic American story: from rags to riches and SUN from street boy to millionaire. But, in the McCarthy era, SUN Chaplin wasn't regarded as patriotic enough for some and he SUN decided to leave. He chose exile in Vevey, Switzerland where SUN he lived on the shores of Lake Geneva, seeking sanctuary SUN from the hostile atmosphere of Hollywood. Vevey was where he SUN brought up his children and found peace but always waiting SUN for the America's authorities to realise the mistake they SUN had made. He died on Christmas Day in 1977 and is buried on SUN the slopes above the lake. However his archival remains are SUN there too - letters, photos, scripts, recordings, SUN scrap-books - the written legacy of one of the iconic SUN figures of the 20th century. SUN Writer, broadcaster and film buff Matthew Sweet travels to SUN Vevey in Switzerland where he meets Chaplin's son, Michael, SUN to explore the house and get unprecedented access to some of SUN the amazing revelations of the archive. We hear recordings SUN of Chaplin composing and Michael Chaplin shows Matthew a SUN document, found in a locked drawer after his death, which SUN could lead experts to revise one of the most basic SUN assumptions made about his famous father. SUN Helping to guide us and explain the significance of these SUN discoveries through Chaplin's music, his Victorian Poverty SUN and his women are Timothy Brock, composer, conductor and SUN restorer of Chaplin's music, Dinah Birch, historian and Neil SUN Brand, a respected authority on Chaplin. SUN Michael Chaplin and Matthew Sweet SUN Matthew Sweet at the Chaplin family home SUN Recording Matthew Sweet and Michael Chaplin on location at SUN the family home in Vevey, Switzerland.
