The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
	by BBC Warner Sales Rank: 53237 Price: $19.98

The production values aren't the greatest here, but this adaptation does capture some of the ebullient, hilarious anarchy of Douglas Adams's book. Arthur Dent discovers that his friend, Ford Prefect, isn't human at all but an alien on assignment, writing for the <i>Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</i>. Many of Adams's delicious asides are dropped off here, like the woman who figures out the meaning of life right at the moment that she gets blown up with the rest of the Earth, but it retains what it can. Sure, the book was better, and the realization of Zaphod Beeblebox and Trillian are, well, just different, but it's a great introduction to the series for the uninitiated. <i>--Keith Simanton</i> *Viewer Reviews* The BBC Production of The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy in every aspect is primative and inferior to the 100 million dollar Disney theatrical version. This begs the question why is this shoestring budget TV version monumentally superior? Lets start with the actors. Mark Wing Davies not only plays Zaphod Beeblebrox but truly captures the sprit of the Zaphod, Douglas Adams created in exactly the same way Sam Rockwell did not. Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Marvin, Eddie the shipboard computer even the lowly Vogon Guard are just as if the lept from the pages of the first two Hitchhikers Guide Books, This DVD is a gem and a must buy for all fans of "The Guide" . As a side note before BBC did "The Guide" as a TV Series it was a 13 part radio show also avilable from BBC. Two years ago BBC radio gathered many of the original cast members and set out to do radio productions of the rest of "The Guide Books" "So long and Thanks for all the Fish","Life the Universe and Everything" and "Mostly Harmless". The are all supurb! So grab your towel, pour yourself a Pan Galatic Gargleblaster and when you return from the hospital order them all! Back To Top
