There was a British Hitchiker TV series some years back, but I thought it was terrible. It just could not compete with my own imagination.



Actually, the Brit tv one wasnt bad, I thought, though the radio version (real original, actually before the books, IIRC) was better. They nailed Marvin ("Huh. [sigh] Brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper!")

Lookin forward to the new film version, out next year.
