It's a reference to "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". I won't spoil the plot by explaining further, just in case you feel like reading the book

...or watching the forthcoming film adaptation:

...or checking out the 1980's BBC tv version:

...or the BBC Radio plays:

...er, thats it - mostly harmless

Well, I <i>wasn't</i> going to reveal the ending but it looks like paul got there first

Don't think you have revealed anything. The guide would be difficult to explain in any sensible way to any one who has not read or heard it. As they say.

The art to flying, or rather the nack is being able to throw yourself at the ground and miss....

Ah yes there's one by him too!!! Watcha gonna do Greg

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Thu Nov 07, 2002 2:49 pm

Here's a question (or questionS) especially selected for Greg:

Who played Owen Lars in Episode 4?
Who plays him in Episode 2?
What nationality is the actor from Ep 2, and for what TV series is he better known in that country?

Hmmm......didn't realise there was more than one book with that title...
Unfortunately, neither of these are the one i'm looking for and being "Quizmaster" my decision is final. So the question still stands....and here's a clue - The book is about a circumpolar journey around the earth (and a good read it is too).
So try again...

And in answer to YOUR questions Matt....

Phil Brown played Owen Lars in SW Episode 4
Joel Edgerton played the younger version in SW Episode 2,
and he is Australian, and perhaps best known for his role of "Will" in 'The Secret Life Of Us' or maybe for his role in 'The Three Stooges' telemovie....
How's That?
