Put all images of the misguided and dismal recent film out of your head, for despite its nerdiness and cheapness, the original BBC The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a fantastically funny piece of absurdity and Science Fiction and well-deserving of its cult status in all its formats (It began as a radio show, became a book, then this TV series).
If you are unfamiliar with Hitchhiker's Guide, think Monty Python with less cross dressing and more science and shoe string special effects. The actors are all charming and the paranoid android is brilliant (yes, Radiohead did get the title from here). Sure, it may seem a little less than thrilling for no- nerds, but everyone should give it a try.
But what do you think?
