HHGTTG Episodes 5 and 6 Thursday, March 20th at 7.45pm

What are we watching then? The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Episodes 5 and 6
The date: Thursday, March 20th, 2025
The time: Part 1: 7.45pm UK time and Part 2: 8.20pm UK time

Pack your towel, your dressing gown, your Babelfish, and of course your trusty edition of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, as we join Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect who are looking for somewhere decent to eat. And wonder if Marvin has been enjoying parking cars. I think we know the answer to that.

Link (although it looks more like Moloch than a Link in episode 5, if you ask me): https://archive.org/details/the-hitch...-tv-series

I may be missing for this. I could be going to see the Led Zep docufilm this Thursday. Only chance to see it since we live in a non cultural quarter and these films don't stay around long.

It's rubbish....nah, still not as funny as...it's crap Frown
Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

We'll miss you! The Led Zep docufilm sounds interesting, though!

Hello. I'm still catching up on episode 4. Do you know if it is true that the visual design of Deep Thought was based on Cambridge University Library?

OK, I'm here, even if OSP is giving us the slip tonight. Hope it's worth it for her!
Hi, TT. How's things?

Possibly, given the Douglas Adams connection.

Yes, the restaurant is a brilliant idea. And quite impossible.

People might care more if Marvin wasn't so miserable. He's sympathising with himself - doesn't need our sympathy.

"What are you doing in the car park?"
"Parking cars"

Brain the size of a planet and that's what you get him doing!

Although I suspect that's exaclty why he's the most popular character in this. The same with Avon in B7 Wink

Don't usually like fantasy, but it's rather well done. Except, like most fantasies, it doesn't know when to stop.
