Delete" Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?"
ReplyDelete"I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."
Great book!
Yes! I love that we have the answer but not the question lol

DeleteI can't believe it's all so long ago - where did the 42 years go??? Valerie
ReplyDeleteI like to think we've been having so much fun we didn't notice it going :)
DeleteOH WOW, while I never listened to the radio show, we were fans of the series on DVD.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't remembered it was a radio show. I discovered it in the 70s with the 4th Doctor.
DeleteAwesome! Can't believe it's been that many years though, wow 😁. Hugs, Jo x
