Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy-Radio Drama

Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy: is a science comedy fictional radio drama that starts with two men talking which is about one of the men's house about to be bulldozed to build a new bypass but the other man say's " it does not matter as the world is going to end" which the other man does not believe, at the end of the discussion they end up going to the pub and as they leave the pub they get a lift on a alien space craft as the aliens are destroying earth which makes the drama so funny, on the space craft aliens read poetry to the men.
the language in the Radio Drama was english, one men spoke proper english (well spoken) and the other man  spoke good english although i thought he had a bit of a london cockney accent. the dialect was formal although the choice of language was informal and the pictch of there voice was medium pitched. the special effects were wind when the aliens turned up and music which was 80s style. i thought that this drama was  really boring , i found it very confusing to who was who at times and what was happening it was a very confusing drama. in comparison to war of the worlds, war of the worlds was more interesting,clear, easy to understand than this. the two dramas both speak formal but in some choice of language it was informal and they both had male characters in there drama . in difference to one another this drama was fictional where as war of the worlds was fictional but it was made to seem realistic not fictional also war of the worlds started of as a news report wheras hitch hikers drama starts with a narrator in which they were structured, and war of the worlds had more space sounds and explosions wheras this drama did not which suprised me as this drama is more recent that war of the worlds so they had better technology although the music they used was 80's, war of the world was just had an orchestra and piano.overall i preffered War of the worlds than this Radio Drama.
