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

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A543467

One from my back catalogue.

You *have* been busy, haven't you, JzG? I know some of the stuff you've submitted to PR lately dates back a bit, but most of it seems well Guide-worthy. I can't quite understand why you haven't submitted it before!

Anyway, this is fine. You might like to take a look at the official 'Star Trek' website, whose URL isn't too hard to guess. In the 'Library' section there are brief biogs of all the main 'Star Trek' cast members. Mr Doohan's biog confirms that he and his wife Wende (sic) became the parents of a daughter, whom they named Sarah, in April 2000.

I broadly agree with Ormondroyd. Links would improve this entry. I'm interested in seeing if there is anything in the biog that jumps out at you as being well worth including in the entry.

Looking good.

Well, the biog mentions that he has appeared in in more than 100 films and TV series, including 'The Twilight Zone', 'Outer Limits', 'Fantasy Island', 'Loaded Weapon 1' and 'Double Trouble.' Also, by my arithmetic, if his daughter was born in April 2000 then he became a Dad again at the age of 80, not 79.

Actually, sorry JzG - you did have the 'over 100 films and TV series' bit in. But it is worth mentioning some more titles of things he's appeared in, I think.

Mr Doohan's entry in 'The Internet Movie Database' is worth a look, too. Among the info there is that his TV credits include appearances in 'The Man From UNCLE', 'The Virginian', 'Bonanza', 'The FBI', 'The Fugitive' and 'Bewitched'.

I think I mentioned that he was Canada's busiest actor. Amazing, really. And did you know that deForest Kelley was in The Gunfight at the OK Corrall?

I had no idea he was in the D-Day invasion.

Good one!

Hi JzG.

I was just about to recommend this entry, when I saw that there appear to be a couple ot issues outstanding - links and titles of other stuff he appeared in.

Let us know when you have done these!
