When I was at University in the 1980s in Bangor I learned to SCUBA dive, and the whole club was really in to The Hitchhiker's. When you've just finished a dive in a flooded slate quarry in January and are trying to get out of your wetsuit and get dry in sub-zero temperatures you really need to know where your towel is.

The lead ballerina comes on and the audience goes nuts before she's even danced - why? 2. How noisy the dancers are - so used to seeing ballet on tv where you only hear the music, but the graceful swans were more like rampaging hippos. Oh no they're not!
