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

Is it the best programme on TV (I think so)?
What are your fave sketches?
What's your fave music?

Favorite programme: yes - one of a very select few programs (Spaced, Later... , and , well that's about it - except, of course, Coronation Street).
Favourite sketch: Stuffed dog, especially when in tree. The man locked in his house with items passed/fed through letterbox was superb.
Music: All! But especially Faithless (Spys)

The squirils robbing the supermarked

and the best music is abvasly novecaine for the soule by the Eels

I've really come to like the "Hello I'm on the phone" man, the "Robber" who asks for help, the spies, the Park Keeper "Have you been letting off fire extinguishers" and the Traffic Warden "Not on my patch". Actually I love almost all of them 'cept maybe the dogs.

My fave piece of music is the one for the artist in Trafalgar Square. I think it begins "If I could read your mind" and from my internet searches may be by a guy named Gordon Lightfoot. Unfortunately it didn't appear on the Soundtrack CD for the first series

oh praise be - this thread has reminded me to set the video! i've got friends coming round and i would have forgotten.
there is one piece of music used that i can't work out who it is by - will try and spot the details tonite, maybe someone can help me it.
i think dom's pure genius.
the bloke stuck inside the postbox was class, but my favourite has to be the dogs fighting. every time my girlfriend gets upset and starts saying "it's so cruel, and no one went to help the poor doggie".
i, in the meantime am on floor in tears of laughter

whay would people get up to help a man in a sute who got shot with a cap gun?

the snow man scech

Hello, I've got a posh gorilla delivery for you.
*delivers a gorilla in a top hat holding a cane, while something a bit unsettling (probably Grandaddy's "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot") plays in the background*

The dog fights are wonderful, as is the confused spy trying to find Red Fox. I also like the ice cream man, and the portrait artist. I think it's all brilliant, basically. Trigger Happy is absolutely one of the best things on TV at the moment.

Ahh the Park Wardens ... I do enjoy the Park Wardens. He's always so friendly and helpful; and you know he's not accusing them it's just that he's had a report and he has to check it out, you understand.

So which sketches don't people like (or understand)?

I'm not a fan of the "Have you seen this man" sketches.

The best one so far was the man coming out of a sex shop only to be confronted by a brass band, town cryer, a banner saying "Millionth customer" and a camera crew.

The guy who was the millionth customer at the minimart, with the brass band, banner, town crier and camera crew - Dom told him he'd won a trolley dash and had a minute to fill his trolley. Then they all ran away while he was in the store filling his trolley. Laugh - I thought my pants would never dry!

I love the stalker mice ... oh and the cola blind tasting!

Dom Jolly truly is a tv genius

Oh now I am not so sure what my favourite one is...

i quite like the Grim Reaper going to the wrong house, and the Islington Worshipers of Satan going house to house to recruit new members...

Yes the door-to-door ones are great.

Actually has anyone noticed that there are one or two ads creeping onto TV that seem to have a Dom Joly feel about them. The one I am specifically thinking about the bloke with giant packet of chewing gum in the cake shop, smashing them all up. But there's also the one at the airport where Mr (Air) Miles buys people's tickets for them.

Which is better Series 1 or Series 2? Or are they just as good? I prefer the red titles than blue.

then shouldn't you change your name to 'bright red shorts'?

the one that still makes me pee my pants is the one with the baby in the pram tied to balloons, as some wumin approach the baby flies out of the pram.

that wriggley's advert really annoys me - just too cynical.

I dislike the ad too. What really annoys me is that one of the camera angles is from inside the counter, which implies the people must have known it was going to happen.

I just wondered if anyone else thought it was stealing THTV's thunder.

By the way I have a poem for you all. It's called 5,000,000. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ...

I like the ones where he pulls up on doubble yellows infrount of traffik wordens and then tries to hide the car

I saw the US version and it looked like he'd badly run out of ideas.
