This is a normal post I've said it before & I'll say it again: NO FUCKING THEME DAYS
Also: This series was execrable tummyfruit, and the recent film shits all over it. Even with yer rap fella who can't act in it.

This is a normal post I love the film
But I'll freely admit its the only film in the world that needs less Alan Rickman.

This is a normal post ^This^
I remember listening to the original radio show through headphones, and it was brilliant. The sound effects were state-of-the-art BBC electronic workshop noises, and the stereo effects were great. Radio is like a book - you imagine the pictures yourself. As soon as they put real faces and cod special visual effects it spoiled it all. The killer was seeing Marvin. My imagined Marvin was much better and much more miserable.

This is a normal post Did he? Well he's wrong.
The TV series was OK because it stuck fairly well to the radio show and the advanced computer graphics were actually just animated drawings, but neither film did justice to the original radio show.

The films were awful. The TV series was ok, the books and radio were brilliant. No argument.
I have spoken.

This is a normal post Repeat after me:
None of the versions agree. None of them are canon, nor should they be considered to be. They all reflect Adams' version of the story at the time they were made. He himself is quite clear on this.

This is a normal post Trillian in the TV series killed it for me
It wasn't too awful up until then.

The film was dogshit.

The radio serieses and the first three books are top bollock. And the LP version, which is different again.

This is a normal post The lp version
Is my favourite, followed (very closely) by the radio series, then the books, there is no tv series or film

This is a normal post Agreed.
But - heresy time - none of them is particularly good.

Seriously. It's just a sequence of pointless chases held together with fucking stupid names for things and undergraduate-level jokes.

I enjoyed the books when I first read 'em: When I was twelve.
But when I tried to reread one in my twenties, I just found it awful.

This is a normal post in fairness the first episode was the best and then it went steadily down hill. Still I like it :-)
