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

Be my guest, Maggie

I will only make a light reference to it

i noticed the film is on BBC1 next week

Ooh, chance to recap! Excellent! Will give this a go then! Been looking for inspiration!

*dances round the *

*puts on white suit*

it's actually a very sad film................................

But the music and dancing is awesome as well

Daft question, but... should I do a seperate entry for, or mention the 1983 sequel, Staying Alive in this one?

, so what is wrong with mentioning the "W" word?

Its just that on h2g2 you should write your own work not plagiarise. W can be seen as an unreliable source of information.

, understand..... ,but then any item of work would be sourced from somewhere, surely

,.....as I recall, The Goodies did a version of Stayin' Alive.... Tim Brooke Taylor, naturally. Utter , it was.

Maggie,

If you want to do the sequel as an entry, that is entirely upto you

I would see how long the original is first

Although I must admit to making two separate entries for Ayton Senna, quite deliberately..

Annoyingly screechy voiced triplets from darkest lancashire, deported to australia for singing and annoying people. Somehow found their way back (probably deported) from australia, wore longer wigs and tighter trousers, large medallions then plummetted into obscurity.

Damn! You've read my notes!!

The Goodies' episode was called 'Saturday Night Grease' and it marked the only time that they fell foul of Mary Whitehouse (after years of trying) because of the scene where Tim Brooke Taylor is seen in a pair of tight underpants with a cartoon carrot on the front.

The episode begins with a very sharply-observed pastiche of the famous scene in SNF where Travolta is getting ready for a night out. Tim struggled to get into a pair of tight trousers, pops a black quiffed wig on his head with a dollop of hair grease down the front, then struts down the street with a pair of comedy winkle-picker shoes on that flap in front of him like flippers.

Later on, afte explaining to the other two that he's obsessed with Saturday Night Fever he confesses that he's not actually seen it: 'It's an X - I might be frightened!'

(I can check that quote if you like)

Didn't he have a chest rug and a huge medallion?

I haven't forgotten this challenge

The medallion was the plug on a chain from the bathroom sink, but I forget where he got the chest rug from. And his underpants had a picture of a large carrot! episode
