Of course! I loved Hitch Hikers! Like the Kenny Everett TV show it was must-see TV for us young twenty something's in the early 80's. Or was it the late 70s? I wonder if Hitch Hikers spawned any toys?

ReplyDeleteHa ha, such an impossible machine. Like the cogs of eternity. Or is it infinity.

ReplyDeleteHa ha, so you thinks it's pointless Mish?
