Douglas Adams

Last night saw the film premiere of the Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy. The long awaited, much delayed and finally here film version of the book (of the TV series of the radio play of the towel etc etc etc).

The cast - including Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy, Sam Rockwell, Mos Def and Alan Rickman - all attended London's Leicester Square.

Douglas Adams widow Jane Belson said that "Douglas would go 'wow', he wouldn't believe it."

Stephen Fry offered his own opinion, and as the Voice of the Guide who are we to disagree with him? "It's a good story with fun and larks without sacrificing the point of it."

The original book has sold more than 14 million copies worldwide, and created four sequels - 'The Resturant At The End of the Universe', 'Life, the Universe and Everything', 'So Long and Thanks For All The Fish' and 'Mostly Harmless'.

Other celebrities at the London Premiere included former Python Terry Jones and Fran Healy from Travis. Just for your information.
