Last year I tracked down a lost #DirkGently script from 1998. I reunited the script with it's author, who got to read feedback from the late #DouglasAdams for the first time. I'm going to release the interview on Towel Day, 25th of May, so don't miss it! #ElectricMonksPodcast https://t.co/M3iIqc31ki
