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

k..I dont know if this is just the TV series, but if its not..

In the book, better than life, Rimmers wife had a certain body part insured. Who was she, what was insured, and how much for?

I know that's three questions, but this is a slow thread..

I'll leave this one to Rimmer. (Or Mort.) He's the one with the book knowledge.

she was his mother

No that was his second wife. His first wife was named Juanita and had her breasts insured for some insane amount.


And after cheating by looking in the book, that insanse amount is... ten million. Each.

That will be why I couldn't remember anything about her having insured something.

Although can I get an extra point for saying that Helen's underwear was like a small duvet

@ Mort.

Commander, you are of course correct. Your call, Sir.

Okay, a simple one; Why didn't the boys simply activate the defensive shields on Starbug when being attacked by what turned out to be the holoship?

Because they didn't have any defensive shields?

I'm sorry, that's only half correct, I'm looking for a two-part answer please

"A superlative suggestion, sir, with just two minor flaws. One,
we don't have any defensive shields, and two, we don't have any
defensive shields. Now I realise that, technically speaking, that's
only one flaw but I thought it was such a big one it was worth
mentioning twice."

*bows*

Well said, two points.

*rolls eyes*

Oh behave.

Timeslides. You remember the big hall where Lister resided with his new wife and the enormous statue weeing in the courtyard? Location, please. *snickers*

Xanadu? Something to do with a hit single. I know too much about Red Dwarf!

I'm sorry, I asked the question incorrectly. What I mean is where was it filmed? Clue: Its not in Xanadu

Ah right... well given that its not in the episode or the DVD documentaries, a little research has been required, but : The Tatton Park Estate ?

Which belongs the National Trust

Good question by the way

It's not Tatton Park, but you're on to something with the National Trust..

Thats what it says here : <./>http://www.pguy.dircon.co.uk/rev952.htm</.> and somewhere else, I can't remember the URL though...

Back to the drawing board...
