"Hey Jim, I just got the the bit of "Wish You Were Here" with you in it"
My tiny moment of fame. Mentioned in the index of a published book.

Hey Jim, be fair on yourself- you're mentioned in the indexes of *two* published books.

Two more than me 
Isn't there a footnote in "Wish..." too?
I'll look it up before I hand it over to Z to read

Is "wish you were here" a biography of DNA?
Latest rumours - from MJ simpson's site (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mjs2000/news.htm) is that Zooey Deschanel (female lead in ELF) is to play Trillian - she actually matches DNA's description!! And that Mos Def is to play Ford - not sure about that one...

Bill Nighy looks good as Slarty...
Looks like Zaphod is the sticking point at the moment - I reckon Jeff GoldBlum could eb good...
Oh, and yes, it looks like there is to be a new Radio Series - entitled Tertiary Phase - info from ZZ9...

I'm guessing that the actor in line to play Zaphod hasn't signed a contract yet, otherwise he'd be mentioned as well. And Bill Nighy isn't mentioned either, which would also mean it's not signed. Probably.
An interview with the director and producer is going ahead soon, and it'll be published here on h2g2, so we'll hopefully confirm or deny as many rumours as possible with that.

This Mos Def bloke gets a good writeup, but I have to admit I've never heard of him

Well, I don't think I'm dead. I'd have noticed wouldn't I?

But you *are* wearing a black armband...

That usually signifies someone else has died doesn't it? I mean, you'd have a hard time putting one on after you'd died yourself. (In this case I put it on when DNA passed away, and had it off since - there you go, sorrow and innuendo for the price of one!)
