There's quite a few links to Dr Who, especially with the TV version - one of the main characters, Sandra Dickinson, was the wife of Peter Davison who then went on to become Dr Who. Peter Davison is a MEGA fan of the radio/book & he managed to get himself a cameo role in a later episode. Together they had a daughter, Georgia, who married David Tennant. Of course Dr Who & Torchwood scripts often contain bits that refer to Hitchhiker's

**Watch the "book" readings, which were all hand drawn!, because unlike the movie they sometimes contain bonus bits that aren't "read out aloud" **

"they hung in the air in exactly the same way that bricks don't" My god could that man write.

Love to see more. I've only ever listened to the radio play. If you think back to David Tennant's first appearance as The Doctor. He spent the majority of the christmas special in pyjamas and a dressing gown. Also The Doctor makes reference to Arthur Dent, to let the audience know that this was an intentional reference to the character.

More of this would be great. In terms of the Doctor Who inspiration, Douglas Addams was actually the script editor of the show for a bit during Tom Baker's era. He actually wrote the story you've already seen, City of Death, so yeah, very similar vibe.

Definitely up for the rest of this, you'll have a great time! Douglas Adams was Script Editor for the 1979/80 series of 'Doctor Who' and was responsible for 'City Of Death', so yes there are connections there! Oh, and Alan Bell is perhaps best known for his marathon stint as producer of 'Last Of The Summer Wine' (although not the episodes you've currently seen)...

Would definitely like more, just so you know at least one episode i can remember has not so much a post credit scene but a post credit joke from the guide that answers a question possed mid way through the episode.
