As promised, a snippet of The Hitchhiker’s Guide
to the Galaxy!
This is from the original BBC Television 6-part series
that aired back in 1981.
I saw this before I read the book and saw the flick.
It was before CGI or any decent special effects but
that just adds to the atmosphere, it was a superbly
acted and wonderfully narrated series that I highly
recommend, a total of six half hour episodes.
In this scene their space ship is being attacked by a
hostile planet, nukes are heading their way and they
cannot out maneuver the missiles.
Their only solution?
Something called the Improbability Drive!
Big red button (what else?), desperation (of course), and
a person that has no idea of what he is doing all make for
an interesting solution to their present dilemma…
