Amazing adaptation of the radio series/ books. I would love to see them remaster this on bluray.

Much better than the big screen version. One can watch again and again, unraveling the graphic displays from the Book. (Including the dead swans poem.)

Great comedy, brilliantly written. Probably not much science but with a deep meaning nonetheless. Loved the book even more.
