I got the h2g2 promo DVD with the Sunday Times yesterday. I've watched it twice. Kevin and I are going to see it on Friday, probably, unless I am actually dead of excitement before then.

Of the clips they showed, one line that absolutely slayed me: Ford saying "What if I told you I'm not actually from Guildford?" I love that they kept that line in. I only got while watching it that having an American play Ford is perfect, because his undercover act is supposed to be a bit crap; not only does he do so little research that he picks himself the name of a car as "nicely inconspicuous" but he presumably doesn't notice or care that his accent's all wrong for the country he's supposed to be from...

My mother read The More than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide aloud on one of of cross-country (driving) trips and changed Ford's name to "Ford Escort" because Prefect meant nothing to us (this was before Harry Potter) but we usually drove a Ford Escort.
