Every time I try that page , I press play, the opening screen fades to black and my browser freezes up... And that's using both IE 6 AND Firefox

Hmm... works fine for me too.
There's a player with a "play" button press it, it buffers fairly quickly and then it's off and running.

....ARGH!!!! I keep going back in the hope that there will be something there. I have a fast 'puter box and never have trouble downloading stuff....all I'm seeing on the page is the title and below it there is just nothing, no button to press, no link, no activity...just a harry potter advert and some (no doubt very interesting) information on how to buy dvds that I don't want.

With apologies to those who still can't see it.*
I like Arthur's double-take on being told Ford is an Alien myself. 
the voice-over is a bit much though...

Yeah, you do, and the third arm!

true the voice over is more than a bit cheesey. Plus is it just me or is Marvin just a bit to childlike and too well rounded?
