h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

(brilliant sub-job, by the way )

I haven't been online over the weekend, so came in today and saw this great "pending" entry! So I reread it, and because it is pending already, I'm going to post comments here for the Italics, I guess.



I found a Connie Booth link from the Monty Python University Project: A708734.



Under header "The Episodes" --

>>If you look at the episodes, they're almost all fuelled by the fact that [Basil] is trying to hide something very, very basic from Sybil. [He's] fundamentally terrified of his wife.' In fact, most men seem to be terrified of Sybil; she's a very domineering and strong-willed person. Even incapacitated in a hospital bed with an ingrown-toenail, she can still bring her husband's raving to heel with an ear-piercingly shrill 'Basil!.
- John Cleese, commenting on Basil Fawlty's character.<<

Only those first two sentences belonged to Cleese (>>If you look at the episodes, they're almost all fuelled by the fact that [Basil] is trying to hide something very, very basic from Sybil. [He's] fundamentally terrified of his wife.' <&lt -- the last two are mine (>>In fact, most men seem to be terrified of Sybil; she's a very domineering and strong-willed person. Even incapacitated in a hospital bed with an ingrown-toenail, she can still bring her husband's raving to heel with an ear-piercingly shrill 'Basil!.<&lt. It should be credited that way.



Under subheader "Season Two",
~ episode #3 -- "'Waldorf Salad' (5 March, 1979)" should be bolded
~ episode #6 -- "'Basil The Rat " is missing a closing apostrophe/quotation mark/whatever



Paragraph under subheader "The Last Fawlty Towers"
--should be-- :

The first episode of the ground-breaking satirical comedy Not the Nine O'Clock News featured a sketch in which John Cleese speaks to a TV executive, refusing to do another series of Fawlty Towers (Cleese suggests they make a 'tacky revue' instead). Although produced after the final episode of Fawlty Towers, this sketch was in fact broadcast first due to the delays caused by the BBC strike of 1979.



First paragraph under header "Today's Fawlty Towers" needs a space between "Yahoo News ranked Fawlty Towers|the second-best 'cult' TV series of all time"



Yeah!! It looks great.

I'm going to be mostly out of town until August, so I hope I can safely assume that the Editors themselves won't do anything funky, right? Thanks, ya'll.

Hello Shee
Sorry I must of missed those problems, but I was rushing away on holiday and I tried to get your entry done first.

One point to make though, I know I never touched the sections your talking about, so I haven't done anything funky.

That'd be down to me - that's what comes from being more interested in *reading* an entry than *proofing* it.

Those bits are fixed now. Cracking entry, BTW. Have a good holiday!
