Eoin Colfer has been commissioned to write the sixth Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel. Wow! Did not expect this to happen ever.

I'm excited. I don't think the new author will be as great as Adams, but if you read the article Eoin seems really loyal to the series, and I think he'll do his best.

Your thoughts?

I saw the movie, met someone who read the book and was told that the movie did not follow the novel as well.

That's ok, the Novel wasn't exactly the same as the Radio series, and the TV Series wasn't the same as the book, and the Game wasn't the same as the bunch, either..

Each different incarnation is slightly different, so as to give you a reason to listen to the Radio show, watch the TV show, Read the book, Play the game, and watch the movie, without being bored to death because you've seen it before.

I'm usually a stickler for that sort of inconsistency, but with Hitchhiker, and also Red Dwarf, the differences are what make the different versions that little bit more special.

The radio series was by far the best. I couldn't stand the tv show, it didn't work well. and the Newer movie was a bit crap, not as bad as the old one though.

Douglas Adams even said that he wanted the story to evolve with each incarnation. It's like a folk tale that changes as it gets passed down over the years.
