I have only seen a couple of the Hitchhiker TV shows, but I have read the book, and what a great one it is!! Pure genius in a backwards kinda way :) What I wouldn't give to be sat in a restaurant at the end of the universe!!

and I totally love Cat (but then, I love all cats :) )

I am a huge Hitchhiker fan, as friends can attest (3 hour radio show on tape, 6 hour show on tape, 3 hour VHS of the tv show, my business line answering machine message.....oh, and two of my cats are named Trillian and Arthur) and 42 has had significant impact on my life.

the problem with PBS is that they don't always buy all the shows, and don't always show them in order.. I get confused sometimes with Red Dwarf because of this.
