Join Mark, Jon and Danny as they traverse the S section of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. We dedicate this episode to Jeremy Hardy, who died last week. The Great Ventilation and Telephone Riots of SrDt 3454 These riots led to three important events, which we'll go through in turn, but it's basically all the fault of a ventilation system called the Breathe-o-Smart, which was absolutely guaranteed to never, ever, ever, go wrong; so much so that the company demanded all customers seal shut all the windows in buildings that used it. So, on that note… Every piece of technology of whatever stripe is required, on SrDt 3454, to carry the following legend, embossed somewhere on its surface, regardless of its size: The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong, is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair. The actual riots were caused by three things: a press release from the manufacturers of the Breathe-o-Smart ventilation system suggesting that best results are achieved in temperate climates a particularly hot day on SrDt, and the employees of a telephone company taking to the streets in a demonstration against their corporate overlords (which we'll come to in a bit) Any employee of the aforesaid telephone company, called BS&S, is permitted to say, once an hour, “Use BS&S and die”, after dealing with so many idiotic customers over the phone drove them mad. This was a direct result of the protest they had, which clashed with the office workers using the faulty Breathe-o-Smart. Stagyar-zil-Doggo Stagyar-zil-Doggo is an editor of the Hitchhiker's Guide. Starship Titanic Many speak of the legendary and gigantic Starship Titanic, a majestic and luxurious cruise-liner launched from the great shipbuilding asteroid complexes of Artifactovol some hundreds of years ago now, and with good reason. Very much in keeping with today's episode, this spaceship was built in such a way to ensure that it would be infinitely improbable that anything would go wrong, so unsurprisingly when it attempted its first pre-launch radio transmission, it suffered a spontaneous total existence failure. Terry Jones, as we've discussed before, wrote the Starship Titanic book and played a parrot in the video game by the same name, produced by Adams' Digital Village. Stavro Meuller - Beta Stavro Meuller is a Greek serial entrepreneur with a German father and two clubs – that we know about – to his mixed-heritage name. Both clubs share his name, but it's only the second one – Stavro Meuller: Beta, or Stavromula Beta – that really matters for our purposes. It's where Arthur was supposed to be assasinated, and where he, Ford, Random, Trillian and Tricia meet towards the end of Mostly Harmless , just before the Earth is finally destroyed again. The building number is 42. Stephen Fry Stephen Fry narrated the first audiobook, played the book in the film and cameoed as a journalist in the radio series.

Mark and Jon Hickman are joined by Jon Bounds to work through some more of the L section of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Lazlar Lyricon Lazlar Lyricon is a customiser of space craft to the staggeringly wealthy. He customised the Disaster Area's limo, and is said, by Ford Prefect, to have “no shame”. Lazlar Lyricon also leant its name to a convention of Hitchhiker's fans. The first was in our home city of Birmingham, and there's a link in the show notes to an episode of Saturday Review , which scratches the surface of Adams' move into the world of interactive fiction. Leda and the Octopus Leda and the Octopus is something of which a statue was made. It used to sit in the office of the Guide's editor in chief, but now doesn't. Of course, we all know that this is a play on the artworks based on the Greek myth of Leda, who comes across Zeus disguised as a swan. Leovinus Leovinus is the designer of the Starship Titanic, who fell in love with the computer inside. In the game, you have to assemble all the various parts of the ship that were scattered around it, and build a giant metal woman, at which point you're given a video message from Leovinus, as played by Douglas Adams, in which he gifts you the ship. Life Begins at Five Hundred and Fifty Life Begins at 550 is a book, less popular than the Guide. LifeSupport-o-System The LifeSupport-o-System. It supports life on the Grebulon ship, and it's perhaps the laziest name anyone has ever come up with for a piece of sci-fi. Lintilla Lintilla is an archaeologist with millions of clones. She, and all her clones, were played by Rula Lenska, who later went on to voice the Guide in its bird form. She has millions of clones because of a malfunction which meant the cloning machine got halfway through making one clone before starting the next, so it was impossible to stop it without committing murder. Eventually, the manufacturers concocted a plan to marry all the clones off to some hastily-made male clones, adding a line to the contract that meant they were aggreeing to “cease to be”.

As AI enters the home and workplace, drives our cars issues for governance arise. Guest Robbie Stamp talks to host Dawna Jones about the five areas where we can take responsibility for asking questions before making decisions. Do we employ protocols over rules? How do companies create the conditions for unethical decision making now? There is a risk that by failing to ask questions and explore to make a more conscious choice that decisions makers will fail to collectively accept responsibility for governance. Bias exists in AI. How do we monitor the roll out of AI to see that it is doing what we hope it can.

Mark asks the question of the kind of lifeforms one might expect to find on Frastra, bearing in mind that the tardigrade can only hack it up to 148.9℃. Frogstar Frogstar World B is quite staggeringly nasty, and is where Zaphod is dragged to before being put in the Total Perspective Vortex (to which we'll come in a later episode). This planet gives us a bit of a continuity headache, as our characters happen upon it in very different ways, depending on whether you've read the book or listened to the second radio series. Frood A frood is a really amazingly together guy. And that's about all the time there is for this segment. Fuolornis Fire Dragon The team discusses the sexiness - or complete lack thereof - of flying bescaled fire-breathing lizards. And Dire Straits. Gag Halfrunt Gag Halfrunt is Zaphod and Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz's private brain-care specialist, and the man who employed Jeltz to destroy the Earth. He's played by Stephen Moore in the radio series and is the man who utters the immortal words “ah, Zaphod's just this guy, y'know?” which is one of very few Hitchhiker's catchphrases. Danny helps Mark understand how wrong he is to like this character, given that he is quite a bit evil.

Mark Steadman, Jon Hickman and Jon Bounds continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order. Earth Earth is a planet that was destroyed five minutes before the result of the most important experiment in the universe was revealed. The team examines the possibility that we're living in a simulation, but maybe not a good one. Here's Jon Hickman's Tesco ad generator, by way of example. Eccentrica Gallumbits Eccentrica Gallumbits, the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon VI is a published author, having penned the work The Big Bang Theory - A Personal View. Some people say her erogenous zones start some four miles from her actual body. Eddie Eddie is the shipboard computer, and the object of an earlier poll. Now we're in a tie situation, the panel pick a personality and make a case as to why they should win the spot. To cast your vote, tweet @btlpodcast Edmund Lucy Fentible Fentible is the DoorBot of the Starship Titanic, voiced by Jonathan Kydd. He's the first character you meet when the ship crash lands in your house. The panel discusses what Douglas Adams had against houses, and why he kept wanting to destroy them. Electron ram From the turret of the electron ram emerges a sharp prong which spats a single lethal blaze of light. A scout robot demonstrates the use of such a weapon when talking to Marvin, who's trying to distract the robot so that his friends can run away. Electronic thumb A subetha device without which an interstellar hitchhiker would have as much chance of survival as a welk in a supernova.

Cruxwan University The seat of learning that was attended by Vroomfondel. We discuss whether Cruxwan would be a redbrick uni or a former polytechnic. D'Astragar ‘d'Astragaaar d'Astragar The Maitre d'Bot of the Starship Titanic, voiced by Philip Pope (who also voices the lift). Damogran A planet 500,000 light years from our sun, made up of lots of middling-to-large desert islands, and the secret home of the starship Heart of Gold. David Jason Jason played the captain of the Golgafrincham B Ark and the caveman in the radio series. The team celebrates their favourite David Jason roles. He's still alive at the time of broadcast, just so you know. Mark and Jon Hickman also land a massive knowledge bomb on Bounder. David Tate Tate played a huge number of roles in the radio series, and Jon Bounds discusses one of his favourite lines. Deep Thought The computer that designed the earth, but wasn't capable of coming up with a good answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. Is this down to the GIGO principle?
