Re: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I can't emphasize enough that you gotta try to hear the original radio series - that's how it was created; the book, TV and film versions came after.
(The BBC recordings are available, along with later productions of the later books, from a variety of sources, including ZBS Productions.)
The movie has a lot of "in" jokes for fans of the series - one example is in the office scene where they are waiting in a queue along with all sorts of alien beasties - another of the creatures waiting there is the Marvin robot from the BBC television production.
Thanks for the reminder - must go buy the DVD right now...
