Hitchhiker’s Guide, the tv-series

Finished watching the 1981 BBC version of Hitchhiker’s Guide. Good show, but definitely on the dated side. In a quaint fashion - bad models are always better than bad CGI.

This is in anticipation of the movie, which I still haven’t seen. Time to check it out next week.

And here’s an answer to a baffling trivia question: David Prowse, the man inside the mask. The question? Ah, which actor has a role in both Star Wars and Hitchhikers…

The 21st century update to the old Infocom classic does not look immediately repulsive either, though new content is confined to graphics I suppose.

And time to grab the original radio series as well as the utterly brilliant finnish version as well on cd. Soon.
