I'm sure everyone has a favourite book, tv show or nostalgic memory from their past. The Guide is quite a high ranking one for me. I was always delighted by the BBC adaptation, despite it's flaws I think it holds up well against its age.
I will reserve judgement on the film until I see it, there is editing time left according to another more positive review I have read.
The thing that will upset me most is if this cult classic is delivered to a mass audience in a bad or misrepresented format and I will have to cope with people talking about it with a dim view without ever knowing of its existance until it appeared on film.
I can already overhear the conversations down the pub.
Ho hum, at least I had the pleasure of the original radio, tv series and books. All of which do the story justice in their own unique way.
