The
programme billings were something special too as they included artwork from renowned
graphic designer and illustrator George Hardie – think Led Zeppelin and Pink
Floyd album covers. They don’t all tie
into the events in that particular programme – the five episodes aired every
week night - as, notoriously, Douglas
Adams was still sweating over his scripts until the last minute and the final
episodes were still being edited as the week began.
Here are
Hardie’s illustrations:

Thanks for sharing these Andy - this is something vintage Radio Times did great in the 70s - illustrating Radio programmes and capturing the listeners imagination!
I reckon the last radio comedy to get on the cover of Radio Times would have been Loose Ends in 1988, if that counts.
