Significant Anagram/Radio

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Significant Anagrams in Radio include:

  • In the original Radio version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the part of The Man in the Shack (who doesn't think he rules the Universe) was not cast by the time Radio Times went to press, and so he was billed as "Ron Hate" (an anagram of "A. N. Other" - a standard British pseudonym for an unknown person). The part eventually went to Stephen Moore, who of course was already playing regular character Marvin the Paranoid Android.
