BBC Reviews Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Posted by Zonk on from the H-H-G-2-disappointment dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Now that the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has made its debut in London, reviews are now beginning to trickle in. The BBC's review can be summed up in one sentence: '... somewhere in the production process the crew has lost sight of the fundamental aspect of the books - they were immensely funny."

      "(which is short for mathemeticS)"

      Nope, wrong. "Math" is short for "mathemAtics".

      Thanks for playing :)

    Your definition of the word minority seems to be slanted.

    I'd say the fan base for H2G2 is a minority in itself. Let alone, those who actually found it amusing. Perhaps you should change your scope of the world to include more than the Slashdot community.
