Douglas Adams' Doctor Who

Posted by michael on from the who's-on-first dept.

Blue Stone writes "As you probably know, the "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" author, Douglas Adams, wrote a number of Doctor Who episodes. The BBC in its wisdom has turned one of his stories "Shada" into a Flash animation. Although the animation is rather primitive, I found the story very entertaining (you can always minimize the window and just listen.)"

    Now *THAT* is "news for nerds, stuff that matters"

    Finally this site produces something that is worthy of that slogan.

    (And I'd damn well expect every post after this to filled to the brim with Dr Who and HHGTTG quotes & references ;^)

    Now I'd better go and read the article and sneak a peek at the animation ;D

    Someone tell me again why I'm not allowed to like Flash? And is it safe to like Homestar Runner? Or is that only for farkers?
    We really need an official "Slashdot Manual of Ethics and Conduct" to spell out exactly what we can and cannot like. I mean, like what if I happen across some Anime, but its in Flash!?!?!

      Let me check... :flip:flip:flip:

      Ok, the proper thing to do in this circumstance is to wait until the next full moon, then put a stake through the heart of the producer.

    Overlay some lips on the flash animation, and I'd place the production values in the top 10% of Dr. Who episodes.
