The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981)

This is from the opening sequence of the BBC TV version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.


I just watched this again very recently.  Absolutely brilliant opening episode and then just sort of drifts away into a series of over egged set pieces.  It's time to remake this, I think.

    1. I didn't hate the film as much as I thought I would although I avoided it for a long time.
      But yes I think they should commit to a new TV series and do the first four books. And stop there like Adams should have. Mostly Harmless was mostly written for the money and is mostly utter shite.

  2. Thought: Is this spacesuit the same one used for Blake's 7 (See here: http://sayhellospaceman.blogspot.com/2011/02/blakes-7-dawn-of-gods-1980.html)?
