    H2G2_UK_front_cover.jpg How have we not discussed this yet?

    Did you enjoy the movie? Why didn't they ever make a sequel?

    His Dirk Gently books got turned into a show - well, a world after the books.

    What's your HG2TG memories?

    Ugh, please do the old BBC hitchhikers guide, not that travesty that was the movie.

    I still laughed. Especially at that sofa scene. No, it wasn't perfect, but it was at least as good as the paper mache double-head in the original ... Unless you meant the radio play? ;)

    No I meant the TV adaptation they put out with the cheesy double head. Over all it stayed way more faithful then the abortion that was the movie.

    The kitten is the shark!



    This reboot of Dirk Gently had a definite Douglas Adams vibe.

    I have to agree, the script was much closer to the original, the casting was nearer to my mind picture and although the graphics and trickeries weren't up to today's standards, they still worked for me.
    Best was the radio show. Listen and let your imagination do the rest!
