I'm seeing it as a series of sort of stop frame animations, or, like the Guide in the original TV series.

It's interesting you have such a strong visual reaction - I'm not a visualiser at all, so I don't really.

I wonder if it would be worth scaring up/thinking about other things Himself has said about the topic? Does that sort of depth of understanding help artistic endeavours (genuine question)?

Plus, I suppose if they have Stephen Fry on the jury, some part ofthe judging will be based on wwdd (what would Douglas do).
