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

'You're going to kill me...'

I couldn't place it, it's been bugging me for ages, but I happen to be watching Frontios and whadd'ya know? There it is.

'...what a finely tuned response to the situation.'

Phew. Maybe I'll be able to get some sleep of an evening now!

You know, you could always have just asked me.

Right, better think of another abscure quote to go there now. After five or so years it's getting tricky...

Asked you? Where's the fun in that?

I wasn't even sure it was Dr Who! It's a few years since I've seen this stuff (an old flatmate had a Dr Who VHS giro day habit about ten years ago) and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Fairly obscure story, Frontios, although I like it. Especially the busines swith the hatstand, and Tegan being a dodgy android.

I just got to the android bit. Tegan's face is marvellous: if looks could kill and all that.

It's a shame about the hairy lobster men costumes but apart from that it's great.

Brillant bit. Who said the classic series didn't do character stuff?

Mmm, giant slugs were always going to be a bit tricky. Might've done better if the costumes weren't so upright.
