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

Really enjoyed the first episode of the new show, what with the dinosaurs and time-travel, I would, wouldn't I?

So did Andrew.

Sarah and I also watched it and it does look as though it could develop nicely - looking forward to next weeks.

It was absorbing television for a Saturday evening..

Sounds interesting, I missed it, what channel was it on?

Emmily

ITV, but it'll probably be repeated on one of the digitals through the week.

Ok, Fizzy I'll look out for it. If it had been on a BBC channel there's a good chance it would have been on what's now called Virgin Media, but was Telewest, 'Teleport', no ITV channels are on there yet.

Sounds better than a flipping night out in Torquay. I found the most fantastic pint of porter in a pub, but the service was so slow I only managed time for one pint of it. I walked home along the seafront in the bloody rain, almost stone-cold sober. And I left my favourite jumper in the pub.

You'll have to let me know in advance when these televisual feasts are on

Saddoo, saddoo, saddoo ....

No, I'm not. It was a very nice jumper

I bet he stands on the doorstep to claim it back tomorrow </>

I'm sure it was - did you ring them when you got home to ask them to rescue it for you to collect tomorrow.

It would be so sad to see it on the side of the road if some pranksters released it into the wild.

No, I walked halfway back along the seafront in the pouring rain to retrieve it... it's such a *lovely* jumper

Well, on balance, I suppose it's much less sad than leaving it there

It's much less sad for the poor jumper, anyway

not wanting to miss out on viewing figures:

repeated at 16:30 on ITV today.

i.e. Right in the middle of the France - Ireland Match.

Oh Well! Looks like the VCR is on for an overload then!

oh thans for that - I missed it.

Can anyone let me know if it would be ok for 8 and 10 year old girls?

(btw - what's porter?)

How:what's porter?

>>>Can anyone let me know if it would be ok for 8 and 10 year old girls?<<<

Yes it is, provided they're into the 'being chased by dinosaurs' thing - there isn't really any violence or bad language it's sort of a Dr Who meets Jurrasic Park type thing. They should enjoy it.
