It was entirely fitting that the sublevels of Milliways, the most fashionable eating establishment in the universe, should be packed with an array of spectacular spacecraft. It was also remarkably fortunate if you were in dire need of making a rapid exit from said eating establishment and had omitted to secure transportation in advance. Confronted

*giggles* That was absolutely fantastic =D You have the voices of the characters from both verses spot on (I'm particularly fond of the line "The Guide? Yes. The Guide. Very informative. Very guide-y,”), and you remembered the most important thing: a good cup of tea! I loved this.

Thank you :-)

This was hellish to write as it was a bit of an exercise in 'how true can I keep to canon'. In the end, I think it came down rather heavily on the side of H2G2, possibly because that's books not just TV. I'm particularly fond of the way Douglas Adams wrote, so I guess it was inevitable.

Erm. One presumes you are aware that DW also officially includes some few hundred novels, comic books, and audio plays?

Ah, I should have phrased that better!

I am personally unacquainted with any of the Doctor Who stuff outside the television series from the 5th Doctor onwards.

I do, however, have the books, TV series, radio plays, *cough*film*cough* and even the old computer game from H2G2.

As a result, I probably know Hitchhiker's better than Doctor Who.

The Doctor Who radio plays are on my 'to buy' list as they'd be great for long journeys in the car. Recommendations on the best ones would be appreciated!
