Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I wish to express my sadness at the loss of a great talent.
Douglas Adams was only 49. I know we've ALL been cheated out of
what should have been at least another 30 years of blindingly
creative output, but my heart goes out to his nearest and dearest.

I'd also like to remember Douglas Burd, who was our liason with the
BBC Graphics department, created the title sequence, and tragically
died in an air accident in 1981, just before his 30th birthday

On a happier subject...
