Ford Prefect - The Pangalactic Hobo

I just finished reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I needed to make a video for my favorite character. The version of him that I fell in love with the most was the one from the TV show. Also, I've had this song stuck in my head for ages and it just fits him perfectly. He is the second greatest homeless space wanderer ever (the first being The Doctor but he cheats by having the Tardis). He is a man who always knows where his towel is.

[taylaca]

@Wizepie It's called The Littlest Hobo

My dads friend had a 1968 Ford Prefect. Was the charcter named after the car?

[taylaca]

@APsScrapandSalvage Yes, Ford chose that name hoping to be inconspicuous after not doing enough research about earth. In the recent movie it said he had mistaken cars as the dominant life form.

This guy would have made an Excellent Doctor! he would have been perfect for the role if Doctor Who wasnt cancelled in the late 80's

This is such a great tribute! Love this series! And David Dixon is very mmmmm! Don't suppose you know who the song is by? x

[BritishAlienCompany]

@OwenDWF There's an article in DWM about the Doctors who never were and David Dixon is one of the most requested (after Gene Wilder) :D x

[HancockYo]

I need to learn the Beatleguiese death anthem.

I like his laugh. "It's fantastic!" "Desolate hole..." and a bit of Marvin there.
