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

Can't help you there, maste, but I do feel the need to point out that my mate at work has programmed his phone to the following ring tone, sampled off the net;

'This is the voice of the Mysterons...We know you can hear us Earthmen...'
Now, how a ringtone is that?

Brilliant, Blues Shark!

Great entry, surely bound for the Edited Guide, on a superb show that has stood the test of time. Having looked through the entry carefully, I offer the following nitpicks:

1) In the opening paragraph: '...the mysteronised scarlet...'. 'Mysteronised' should probabably have a capital letter. 'Scarlet' certainly should.

2) In the first paragraph under 'The Episodes': '...but his remains unharmed as he calmly raises his gun...'. There seems to be a word missing here - 'target', perhaps?

3) Two sentences later in the same paragraph: ...'the man "fate has *mate* indestructible"...'

4) Episode 4, 'Manhunt': 'nonetheless' should be one word. (Don't go misquoting the Mysterons! )

It's funny: I was just the right generation to have watched 'Captain
Scarlet' first time round, but never did. I love it now, though - I'm obviously regressing with age! Is it just me, or does Captain Black always look as if he's got a terrible hangover?

Thanks for that, Ormy!

I hesitated over 'Mysteronised' simply because it's a verb, not a noun. I think it probably shouldn't be capitalised, but the other points are spot on (hawk-eyes )

'Hawk-eyes'? I've just noticed that I typed 'probabably' in that last post while I was nitpicking about your typos!

Still, never mind. The important thing is that this entry is now ready to enhance the Edited Guide!

all!

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

And a big to Primord too!

S.I.G., Jimster and Primord!

Oooooh!

I just got in-been out spending way too much £££ on DVDs-



! it will be with an increased sense of pride & joy when I watch Capt. S tonight on BBC2!


S.I.G guys!

Quick question: Do you prefer the end credits to end with the words to the song, or without?

<BB<

Ooooh! that's a tough question-I must admit I do like the song-but I suppose it's better without it.

and I love my 'Thunderthemes' CD
I got in WHSmith for £1.99!
It's got loads of great stuff on it;The Avengers, Joe90, Return of the Saint and the ludicrous...Man in a Suitcase.

Yup, instrumental version for me too. I wavered over including the lyrics to the song in the entry, but they're probably available through the links I supplied so...

but I do like when in amongst the song it goes "Spectrum is Green"!

like-WoW!

Primord just as a matter of interest, is that the same one I've got, that has the bizarre and just plain y cover of Dr Who played by what sounds like Mantovani and his golden strings>?
