Oh YES!!!

I listened to it first time around on the radiogram, then rushed out and ordered the BBC recording from my local record store. (Because we had no way of recording it directly from the radiogram. We didn't own one of those modern tape cassette machines) It took 2 weeks to come into the shop and was a double LP (33&1/3rpm)

That was back in 1979.

A few years later the BBC made it into a TV series using most of the original cast from the Radio show.

I found it a few years back on a released BBC DVD.
