The Hitchhiker's Guide Live Radio Show at the Woking Victoria
Another view looking back from 2 weeks ago.
Was the show as good as I remember it?
Mostly is the honest answer to this questions. Part 1 was very good and was a lot of fun, the sound effects and the band where very good. The second part was I think in hindsight uneven, why it should be so I just don't know but that what I think.
I have seen some other reviews and there are several that mention the fact that the first part is stronger than the second, I suppose one of the problems Dirk had when writing this show was that most if not all the material is so very well known by most of the audience.
This then leads to a problem in what do you leave out?
Douglas Adams had lots and lots of ideas so there is plenty of material to choose from, do you go with a safe bet or do you chose something that will stretch all parties concerned eg the cast, the audience and the production team?
I like to think that Dirk went for let's be brave, and I think for the most part it works, the only trouble is the first part is just so good that you can not but help compare the second part with the first.
so then important question looking back at the show and also with hearing the recording is was I entertained? did Dirk do a good job?
The answer is yes to both questions.
