I really think the BBC should've hired you. I'd love to see an animated series of Hitchhiker's.

[@robcandy9273]

I'd watch it 😁

[@wispa1a]

Do they own it?

[@VirtualKnight64]

@@wispa1a They were the ones who broadcast the original radio and TV series.

"Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway, so I don't know why I said it oh GOD I'm so depressed." I can totally relate to Marvin.

[@Slashkamr]

I still can't believe they dropped that line for the film... and seriously... I thought Zaphod having a hidden head... that's just lazy writing

[@jog2501]

@@Slashkamr IIRC, they dropped a lot of lines for the film, many of which were punchlines for jokes. It was painfully obvious that the script editors for the film didn't actually understand Adams' sense of humour. Although some bits of the film looked great (and I was delighted to see the Marvin from the BBC TV series make a cameo appearance in the Vogon waiting room) the script was so butchered in places I just cannot bring myself to watch the film again.

i've only just discovered these animations and it's a crime that they've haven't been viewed more often

[@timrobarts438]

Yes! Heart of gold at last looking like the running shoe it’s supposed to!

[@inkvixen3141]

.....right. Running shoe...

[@AurumEtAes]

This is great. Wish I could watch a whole cartoon of OG radio H2G2

[@XiaoAndyPugMan]

It's a small touch, but I like how the table of contents at 0:10 matches up with the stuff Ford reads from the brochure. First he talks about the Improbability Drive (the yellow heart), then cybernetics/robots (Eddie/a computer) then Genuine People Personalities (Marvin/an android). Very nice attention to detail :D

[@theoneandonlyNick2]

Xiao Andy I'm glad that there are people out there who watch these closely enough to pick up on bits like that. Makes it worth adding them

[@Orax1701]

Nick Page Um, Univers... (sorry 😟)

[@kevinjokipii4260]

Nice touch on the emoji-faces for the doors. They fit perfectly with the little "yum" noises.

[@levilukeskytrekker]

I still love these videos of yours. I think you're the only artist I've seen who illustrates the universe of Hitchhiker in a way that I feel fits. Your Marvin is so perfect.

[@Onychoprion27]

Oh my gosh that mocking "stolen?" From Marvin! XD

In most SciFi stories robots are armed with lasers, blasters, nuclear bombs, machine guns, cannons and you name it. Here they are armed with depression. It should be illegal to arm robots with depression.

[@FrogworfKnight]

For their sake or ours?

[@nobodyimportant2470]

@@FrogworfKnight Ours. If a robot armed with depression gets a hold of a POV gun it can cause mass suicide.

[@atomicsteameng]

@@FrogworfKnight the answer to that question is: yes. If I recall correctly he made a ship computer commit suicide in Hitchikers Guide, and I wou;dnt be surpised if he had that effect on more organic beings.

[@joshuabessire9169]

They should be armed with nothing... not even an electronic sausage. Truly devistating.

[@paulmerviel1617]

I believe a quotation is pretty relevant here :p "One of the major selling points of that wholy remarkable book, the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy [...], is its compendious and occasionally accurate glossary. For instance, the statistics relating to the geosocial nature of the universe are all deftly set out between pages 576324 and 576326. The simplistic style is partly explained by the fact that its editors, having to meet a publishing deadline, copied the information off the back of a packet of breakfast cereal, hastily embroidering it with a fe footnotes in order to avoid prosecution under the incomprehensively tortuous galactic copyright laws." :p

[@SomeGuyandanAmbulance]

Not to mention that a copy fell through a time vortex into the past and the company behind the Guide eventually sued the cereal company

[@MrRandomcommentguy]

I'd pay good money to see the entire radio play animated

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Here we are website the size of the planet and all we get is two updates one of which is all about insufferably smug talking doors.

My god, there truly is more content.

[@DocWolph]

Yes. Dreadful isn't it?

[@moonknightproductions]

What!? More stuff? Awesome! I’m reading through the tome of a book that is the collection of the entire Hitchhiker’s Guide of the Galaxy series. It’s awesome so far!

[@bentp4891]

I've still never seen any version where Marvin looks anything like how I imagined him to look, but good effort.

[@notnowjohn765]

The Radio play has so many loud background noises you can barely understand what anyone is saying.

[@thedavecorp]

Best line in the whole series.

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

Oof the audio quality, is it me or is it much lower than it was for the other animations? If it wasn't then feel free to ignore this, I assume you had the best you could find

[@DarkExcalibur42]

I was just thinking that... I have much higher quality MP3s of the radio play if needed

Cant you upload on another webside, like dailymotion or something. For the finished episode I mean. Copyright strikes are far less common overthere. Considering that the add revenue is not a concern.

[@vinceandlilly]

I agree, in 2011 I saw a really silly remix video of The Five Doctors, and it got taken down (though it certainly qualified for fair use imo). Well, recently, the original uploader put both parts on dailymotion (www.dailymotion.com/video/x5s17rv), and I was able to watch them for the first time in several years.

[@femmefuntime]

vinceandlilly it seems the BBC (not unlike Disney, Studio Ghibli, most anime companies, and Nintendo) doesn’t seem to give a fuck about fair use.
