      I have to say the movie did a better job adapting the legendary book for a common viewer, as an introduction. It was an exceptionally good movie in this regard. But the series, without a doubt, is a classic, an unbeatable classic. And it aged really well, the humour, the acting, the graphics, especially the graphics and all of the visual component. I'm in love with it.

    "$75, kidney donors 25% discount"
    "$80, terminals only"
    Some of the listed places are apparently haunts of Zaphod and Ford, as I'm pretty sure they reminisce about them later on.

      I grew up with this BBC TV series... I saw enough trailers of the movie to not go to watch it.
      Which is sad, as it was Adams' final work, but alas, it got the Hollywood treatment and lost all the charm of the original series (which was very faithful to the book).

    Haaaaaa...this open dialogue so reminds one of the on-going discourse between the U.K. and the E.U. over Brexit......''If you know we're going to leave....and you drag-on like We're going to hang-around; So, if You don't mind, We're just going to Walk-out of the Union and have a new economic life Else-where on this Planet and You can act like We're still here--Negotiating and you can, since you really don't need us there or here at the Negotiating Table put you can act like were there...and if you want...when You guys decide to Dis-Union...can join us in a Pub....'sounds alright?'

    The part about the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster was cut in the German broadcast of this episode. Apparently that wasn't even because of the scantily clad green alien, but because the broadcasting station wanted all episodes to have exactly the same length. The cut version is also the only one available on DVD in Germany.

    Hmm... it looks to me like this Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster is made of the same ingredients as grog from "The Secret of Monkey Island", especially in light of how CORROSIVE that stuff is! Here are the ingredients: Kerosene, Propylene Glycol, Artificial Sweeteners, Sulfuric Acid, Rum, Acetone, Battery Acid, Red dye #2, SCUMM, Axle Grease, and/or Pepperoni.

    A 'wise' man recommended that you only sample one glass of the (Pan Galactic) Gargle Blaster. Wiser men recommend that you'd partake in drinking xenomorph blood, due to its less acidic aftertaste.
