I read the book and everything Doug Adams wrote that was related. He is the only science fiction author I ever read. The Hitchhikers Guide, along with Star Trek, was what fascinated technical types back in the day. It was kind of a cult following I guess.

Michael Keating looks like a familiar name but I could not find anything in his list of credits from which I know him. Apparently he was in Dr Who but I've only seen a handful of those shows.

I'm not a fan of Dr Who only when the Daleks were on..

i loved the books, but the movie i thought a dissassster!

the original star trek was pretty silly, but i loved next generation! mostly due to the captain and data. i also loved that they rewrote ltn yar's death to something more dignified than a tar pit...

Didn't want to see the movie. Rarely does the screen play do justice to the book.

School was an effort for me. I learned my lessons well, but it took me longer to do it. Now that I'm older and more brilliant than most, it doesn't matter.
