We enjoyed it when we first did it, to a certain extent, but we didn’t really understand it.
Trillian has been one of the high spots of my career, it goes without saying. What did you think when Dirk contacted you and said it was back on? It was very sad for us but in a way it means that now we’ve got a better script than we would have had then.” I can’t remember the details but I think unfortunately it was to do with there not being a script that was usable then. “Well, we were going to do it in the 1990s and we were all prepared to have our reunion then. When did you first hear about this project? This interview was conducted in November 2003: Although that meant I kept getting paid for it - which I didn't mind at all!"įive years later I finally got to meet Sue when Dirk Maggs reunited the original radio cast for 'The Tertiary Phase'. I'm probably confusing it with the repeats, because they repeated it almost immediately, and kept on repeating it ad nauseum. "Was I in the second series? No, I don't think I was.

"I think Hitchhiker's was one of the big coups of my acting career. "I didn't do the LP because I was doing a voice for Disney at the time, for The Black Cauldron.” Why were you not in the cast of the Original Records LP? I think the first time I realised how successful it was when my brother, who was a schoolboy at the time, said that all his friends in the sixth form at Gordonstoun were fans and absolutely loved it.” “We knew it was so zany that it would either be a brilliant hit or a complete flop. I was in the second episode, so everybody knew each other except me.”ĭid it feel at the time like it might be something more than just another Radio 4 comedy? Like most of the cast, I suspect, I read the script and didn't understand a word of it. "I was hooked into doing it by Richard Whiteley and Miriam Margolyes - which is an odd combination.
