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

Yeah, he was. A really good actor who didn't do himself any favours as Alonso Frame.

Pretty obvious why RTD has taken such a fancy to him because, well, just look at him. Especially in this clip:

He was also very good in the Beebs last production of Little Dorrit...


I should also like to point out that in the very first episode of the William Hartnell Dr Who back in the 60s, that he had a granddaughter called Susan..Which where I first began watching.

is it me or did the cactus ship look like the star bug???????

Since you ask, it's just you.

aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

my head is exploding, oh a little sleep

I was looking forward to the specials partly because Donna was coming back. I didn´t like to see her being made to forget everything, and hoped this would fix that. Instead it turns out it was all for nothing, as remembering would just make her faint.

No it's not just you, I thought it was Starbug-ish too

I was only teasing him.

Perfect set-up like that? I was powerless to resist.

Maybe they couldn't stretch the budget to cover the CGI ship and had to raid the model cupboard. It could have been worse, it might have been The Liberator

Just so you know I had to google "The Liberator" to find out what it was.

The Number 1 Google hit was a link to a sex-toy.

The mind boggles.

I assumed that's what Reef was talking about.

It did have several rotating parts.

Sadly, it would appear their website has - er - gone down.

I knew the Liberator rather than "Star Bug" but I guess that shows my tastes

(Really hopes GB is talking about the Blakes 7 Liberator)

can't find a pic of the vinvocci ship

and what's wrong with the Liberator? Fantastic ship.

And I too spotted the starbug likeness.

I was just watching it again on the telly. They usually get better with a second viewing but it's rubbish. Absolute pants. Complete arse gravy.

Just because I write porn as a hobby doesn't mean I'm obbsessed, I was actually talking about Blake's ship

You do? I had no idea.

Truly it's what Google returned.
