tribute

Today would be Douglas Adams 61st birthday. Coincidentally I received my copy of Shada (the book) in the mail. Written by Gareth Roberts, it's the novelization of the only lost episode of a Doctor Who series during the Tom Baker era. An episode written by Douglas Adams and partially filmed but never finished, due to a strike at the BBC. Originally $26.95 (hardback), I ordered mine used from Amazon for around $5. The DVD is now available for about 30 bucks. It's on my wishlist.
