Hitchhiking

Casting news for the forthcoming Hitchhikers guide film shows the thing is nearer fruition than any casual observers could have dreamed. Latest news is Martin "Tim from the office" Freeman is Arthur and Bill Nighy, as Slatibartfast. Nighy suddenly seems to have sprung from being that entertaining bloke who's been in lots of things but you can't think of his name, to being well known in a short period of time. Wonder if this will have any bearing on the Doctor Who casting.

Hitch Hikers also makes a return to Radio 4 in a month or so when a dramatised version of Life the Universe and everything turns up on Tuesday nights, with most of the original cast. Should be worth watching out for.
