A classic.
Sooooo much better than the recent film version. My old VHS copies rarely get time to gather dust.

I had a DVD copy of that and I threw it away a couple of weeks ago
If I had known some of you actually like this junk, I'd've sent it over
Naught beats the book IMO.
IZ.

Deffo the book is the best, but I borrowed mine to some colleaugue (A real Yorkshireman now screwing up helis near Bonn, Krautland) and never saw it again.
Next comes the BBC TV series and with a long distace behind it the 2005 cinema version. It was very nicely filmed and well made and all, but it distorted the story just too much to score better. But I still enjoyed it.

I have all the parts on CD & it is excellent.
The TV show was good too though, although a lot was missed to get it all to fit their allotted time.
(& Marvin was much better in the original).
I have the VHS's but I can't believe the Beeb hasn't put out a dvd yet.

Cracking find!
I'm sure the movie's nowhere near as bad as I seem to remember, but despite having been given a copy on DVD some time back I still can't bring myself to watch it again. It completely misses the point - I don't really
care what happens to Arthur Dent, but let's have more about the Great Nogzert of Arctoron IV.
