    Default BBC Hitchhiker's Guide TV series DVD

    Just got it today.



    It's the 1981 six part BBC TV series. About three hours long. A second DVD is full of extras, outakes, deleted scenes, making of, and an interview with Douglas Adams.

    Can't wait! Going to have me a beer and lie in bed tonight with the headophones on and watch this gem.

    The radio shows on BBC have proved enjoyable recently, perhaps I should find these DVDs. Heck, I might have them lying around on video someplace.

    Just get the CDs of the original radio series. They're the best. Although the TV version was very good.

    I watched most of the first episode last night. Great stuff. Dry British humour, and absolutely true to the book.

    Can't wait for bedtime and another episode.
