I have read all of the conversations for this Talking Point and I can't believe no one has mentioned Slartibartfast yet! I love the bit where he first meets Arthur and he tells him to come along cos otherwise he'll be late. "Late for what?" he replies. Slarty asks him what his name is and Arthur says "Dent. Arthur Dent." And he says "Late as in the late Dentarthurdent." That makes me laugh.

Also, the bit in Life etc:

"Patience. Great things are afoot"
"That's what you said last time we met"
"They were."
"Yes, that's true"

Lol, classic!
