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

I cannot muster ANY enthusiasm for zombie movies. What is with the DEE in your title? Is that the letter of the alphabet? as the Z in the movie title or is that a letter grade you assigned to it. Grades in the US go A,B,C,D,or F in decreasing order with F being failure.

I suspect that may be a British English joke. We normally pronounce Z as Zed, but the Z in this film's title is definitely pronounce Zee, in the American way.

If we applied the same change to the word 'dead' (as in Night of Living...) we would be pronouncing it as 'dee', as in Awix' title.

Just watched it.

Sniggered when Peter Capaldi turned out to be the Doctor at W.H.O, but I guess the film pre-dated that pun.

Now I'm off to stock up on cardboard boxes and duct tape against a potential zombie apocalypse.

He's credited in many places as 'WHO Doctor'. Which is either one of those pieces of cosmic synchronicity, or...
