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

Hi <BB<

I'm your Sub-editor for 'The Storyteller'. The new version is A87938473 - please subscribe!

I enjoyed reading this again. Subbing was made extra exciting as I had a power cut in the middle of it, but the Entry is OK thanks to the battery on my laptop...

Just one question: Can you specify how many lip movements the Dog had, or was it 'several'?

Thanks for subbing!
That's a good question and not one I think is mentioned in the book about the Henson Creature Shop, so 'several' is a good answer.

I say I say I say, my dog has got no nose!
How many movements does it have?
Several!

Hmm – doesn't work as a joke, though…

<BB<

It works as surreal humour, though!

The Entry is ready for you to check

Only one thing to change – 'three months, three weeks and three days' – This should be 'three years, three months, three weeks and three days'. (Possibly also three hours, three minutes and three seconds too, but that isn't specified in the episode)

<BB<

Yes, it wouldn't be a surprise if an extra three hours, three minutes and three seconds were required, given that pattern...

Congratulations! Your Entry is on the Front Page today
