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

Greetings and Welcome to H2G2!

I'm Phoenix, one of the ACEs here on H2G2.com. I saw that you were new here, so I thought I'd stop by and make sure you know we're glad you're here.

Don't Panic, we're all a likee self obsessed here in one way or another.

I never saw Secret Army, but your description of the trap door and system of tunnels brings to mind a show called Hogan's Heroes that I used to watch all the time, and still catch occasionally on late night TV.

If you need any help finding anything, on the site or in the books, please feel free to ask. In the meantime, you might want to check out the following pages for more information on the site ......

Cheers for the response & thanks for the tips. Nice to be here

Hogan - is he the huge viking looking wrestler?

Secret Army was a TV drama about the french resistance. It was followed a few years later by 'Allo 'Allo - a "comedy" about the French resistance. Such a progression, I feel, is a useful metaphor for the decline of British cultural life.

Just thought I'd welcome you too, on behalf of the Guardian Angels.

I remember Secret Army.
And the tunnels.
My dad watched it religiously.
Those were the days, one black & white tv in the corner of the room.
*sigh*
Not all progress is bad, eh?
Welcome Glider, to the wonderful world of h2g2.
If we can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to shout...

Hogan's Heroes was an old sitcom about a group of allied soldiers in a nazi prison camp. Under their barracks they had a tunnel system, with complete spy set up and tunnel out of the complex. The basis for the story was that they were posing as prisoners, but were actually stationed at the camp to spy on the germans. The germans never seriously suspected this, of course. Colonel Klink and Sergent Schultz were sort of gullable characters, and Hogan and his crew very rarely had problems fooling them.
