Wait -- we were discussing special effects -- in particular, the 
interior "quantum space" effect seen in the viewing room of the Valen 
and, as I said, lifted straight from the "wormhole" sequence in ST:TMP.

Derek said "try maybe HHGTTG, I thought anyway....." which I took to 
mean the 2005 feature film.

There were no visual effects in the original HHG radio dramas (1978). 
And if you were referring to the BBC TV series, it didn't come out until 
1981, and even so, surely such an effect would have been well beyond 
their budget? :)

Even though I remember watching the TV series when it aired here on PBS 
in the early 80's, I don't remember whether it had any such effects or 
not.
