this requires more stephen fry

[rocklee1397]

Stephen Mangan should play The Doctor after Matt Smith.

All these tedious people banging on about his HAT. Get a grip.

nice movie

.....No offense, but... where's his hat? How many times during that book series was it mentioned that he had a disturbingly fanatical devotion to his hat? Oh, never mind.

[sulljoh1]

crappy actor... sorry if you like him. He needs to be far more poignant and (seemingly) over-confident

@Allofusien oh ok i just assumed that he had the concept down since he did mention that he was writing another series other than hitchhikers at the time. but he did "adapt" the story, not the book, into a screenplay and he did adapt the story then into a book, lol i would like to denote that i may be more than less half wrong.

@hitchhiker38 Kate and Odin were in book 2, although they do take the refrigerator from book 2. Also, I agree that it's nothing at all like the novel(where is Dirk Gently's ridiculous ensemble and fat?), I think it's okay. Their mistake was calling it 'Dirk Gently', it's not Dirk Gently. But it's not that bad.

[Allofusien]

@antifacistppl Wrong, the canceled Doctor Who episode 'Shada' was actually the base for Proff. Chronotis and several other plot points in the first Dirk Gently novel, not the other way around.

[antifacistppl]

umm, second tv adaptation they should say... adams wrote a few doctor who episodes based on the story.

@Klaatu42 I can make any assumptions or knee jerking I like, Its called free speech. And seeing as the program they aired, bares am much resemblance as a Chinese mountain goat resembles a Edwardian teapot, I feel Just, in voicing my displeasure

[klaatu42]

@hitchhiker38 If they jammed all of that into 1/2 hour, there wouldn't be much left for the rest of the series. But seeing as it's been months since this was released, I'm guessing we not going to be seeing more. Possibly too many knee-jerk reactions killed it.
