Ah. I understood the reference, but having no clue when DA's birthday is, I had no clue why the reference.

His stuff is good, I presume?

Is it good? Let me start by saying I don't do fiction (too much happens in real life), nor do I do space stories, weird creatures, or alien languages. But the whole Hitchikers series had me hooked - one after the other. Fantastic series, get them all, get them soon.
Don't watch any of the attempts of film, the latest was probably the best but still missed out a squillion and one things. The radio series was better but as usual nothing beats the written word.

I enjoyed the movie, but didn't know the background story of the whole thing. I'll have to check out the series.

If you mean the books, they are better than anything.

If you mean the TV miniseries, I thought it was much better than the movie, but I liked the movie as well.
