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

I'd forgotten all about this piece of televisual history. Were there really only eight episodes, it seemes like many more?

Didn't he always wear a white scarf for no apparent reason?

Reminds me of another classic too. I seem to remember this programme alternated with Automan, now there too was a great programme od its time.

1983!?!?!?!?! Crivens!?!?!?!
Yes, it was about the same time as Automan and all that Knightrider, Streethawk, Airwolf telefantasy nonsense involving lots of near LA deserts.

The thing I liked best about Automan was they way his cool blue neon car turn corners at right angles, Automan could handle it but his human side kick always ended up with a comedy neck ache.

I was young OK
It seemed funny at the time

Welcome to H2G2 mistersnappy!

You'l be delighted to hear that The Apprentice, who is a great lover of pulpy TV, has also written an entry on Automan:

IS there anything else to remember about that programme?
I still think its funny, but then, I am very childish

He always had a glowy collar, even when he wore a suit, I remember that too.
I seem to remember he had a glowy light thing called Pixel or something that used to help him out also.

Thanks for that info Cloviscat, told you they were linked didn't I?

I think he was called 'cursor' and how odd that no-one noticed the blue-glo collar...

Blame me in a tiny way - I Scouted both entries for the edited guide - hard work!

I remember I used to like it, no one else I know remembers, only eight episodes, seems like a lot more, but then it probably did when I was a kid.
