Another Cambridge Circus alum, Jo Kendall, went on to have a career in acting, mainly in television and radio while mostly avoiding comedy. One of her smaller radio roles was a bit part in Douglas Adams's original radio broadcast of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. (Adams was another Cambridge Footlights standout like Kendall and Oddie, Chapman and Cleese of previous entries). The original radio broadcast came out in 1978 on BBC Radio 4. The first recording released of the series, however, was a rerecorded and reworked version of the first four "fits" of the first series. (These same four "fits" make up the plot of the first book). The double LP was released by Original Records in 1979.
