Cant' wait to find out! But the TV series paled in comparison to the
original radio series. Some very important - and very funny - episodes
were missing entirely from the TV series, adn I gather even more will
be missing from the movie. Oh well... I believe Douglas Adams was
quite involved in the early stages of the film, before his untimely
exit, so I shall withhold judgement until I've seen it.
