Sure.  For Arthur to work as a character there has to be conflict in the form
of confusing situations beyond Arthur's control; and if Fenchurch had been 
in the story, Arthur would simply have gone back to Earth and lived the good
life... not a very promising storyline...

Every possibility needn't be true, but the probability that it isn't
true is as near to zero as makes no odds. Provided of course it isn't
logically inconsistent. That's why there is no God in those universes
where He can be proved to exist. Errr! Ho-hum! Well, you get the idea, I

You're indeed wrong. A big bang and big crunch do not imply finiteness
of the universe. The universe could have been/be (the biggest problem
of time travel is grammar, remember) infinite from the big bang to the
big crunch. And no, this does not imply that anything must have
travelled with infinte velocity or even with a velocity greater than
that of light.

News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41

In a recent article, someone (who works at a radio station) said he'd
met Douglas Adams, and noted (to himself) "Boy, was he tall".

This is exactly what Doug was talking about in the intro to Hitchhiker's
(I think it was there, anyway), when he mentionned how he despised people
who stated the obvious "Nice day, isn't it?", or, by a similar extension,
 "Gee, you're tall".

At 6'6'' (no, I no longer play basketball - you'd be amazed to discover what
percentage of people you meet ask you this) and for the reasons I just 
mentionned, I have always understood the bitterness of that remark.

Congratulations to whoever posted this - for keeping it to himself! :^)

Was wondering about this lately...wasn't the whole thing taking place
"just about 2000 years after a man was nailed to a tree..." or something?

Not my religion, but wasn't Jesus 33 when he was crucified?  This would make
the event in the year 32,33,34 or whatever it is with the fencepost and the
inaccuracies, which gives us a good several years until the supposed event.

That means it didn't have to be 78.

A couple years ago, on WNET PBS-13 in NYC, I saw a film short based upon this

diner in Grand Central or something.  I think the film was dated in the early

This is a commonly believed thing about the idea of an infinite number
of universes, but it is not ness. true.  Just because there are an
infinite number of universes does NOT mean that every possibility must
be true.  Analogy: Note the numbers (0,2,4,6,8,...).  There are an
infinite number of them, yet not one odd number appears.  Maybe that's
how the multiverse is numbered, and the really cool stuff happens in
the odd universe.

For that matter, the number of all possible universes is not a
countable set (after all pi could be any real number...).  There seems
to be an implied ordering on the universes (e.g. Arthur 3 or Earth 2
(for old DC Comics fans)).  Therefore, if there are a countable number
of universes, there are things that do not happen in any universe,
even though there may be an infinite number of them...

Stephen is quite a well known dramatic actor in the UK, and his voice

I think you are all missing one inportant point:

The Vogons, using The Guide Mk II, erased the Earth from _EVERY_ time period
in _EVERY_ universe in _EVERY_ dimension. So, therefore:
Deep Thought never designed the Earth, Slartibartfast never designed Norway,
the Golgafrinchams never crashed on Earth, the human race never evolved from
telephone sanitizers, Arthur was never born, Trillian was never born,
Fenchurch was never born, Ford was never stranded there, Zaphod never stopped
by at a party in Islington, the only form of cricket in the universe was
Brockian Ultra-Cricket, and Agrajar lived a long, prosperous, Arthur Dent free
life and any humans you might meet from time to time are just a figment of
someone's derranged imagination.

Hello all!  

I remember seeing the BBC-produced "Hitchhikers Guide to the

mine just found out about the existence of the TV version 
and now we're both wondering when it will be on again.

Does anyone out there know anything about when this fine production
will be broadcast again?  Does it depend on the whims of the BBC or
does it depend entirely on my local PBS affiliate having the money
and the will to acquire it?  Is it available on video?

Your answers will be greatly appreciated.
