I am yet to read the book, but I'll interested to see if he covers #DouglasAdams. Early Adams seems to me a perfect example, with his "the last sane man in the world" outlook, lampshaded by the character Wonko The Sane.

Like Python and #RobertHolmes, many of his observations came from satirising the white, male Oxbridge BBC from within.

I wonder if his later work was a reaction to this, with better female characters and a clinically depressed humanism which was almost Vonnegut-like in tone.

Big "whoa" for Gabriel Knight fans!

Enjoying "Aliens in the Mind" by Robert Holmes on BBC Sounds. If you want to enjoy it as well, hurry—the first episode goes away in three days.

If you need more incentive, it stars Peter Cushing and Vincent Price.

If you're a hardcore old school DOCTOR WHO geek like me, you have probably spent hours debating with fellow Whovians how THE TRIAL OF A TIMELORD might have ended if Robert Holmes had not died in the middle of writing it. (Notoriously, Pip and Jane Baker, the second worst WHO writers after Chibnall, were hired to finish it up.) Well, it turns out that Holmes's original script for Part 13 is online! With some fascinating differences!
