Does anyone have any info on other work by David Dixon
besides the HHGTG series? I thought he was terrific
as Ford, and the perfect choice...altho I was kinda
disheartened to learn that those baby blues were fake...
(snif! snif!)

Anyone? Anyone?

He was in the Bill about 6 months ago. And I saw him in the Sweeny in the
Channel 5 repeats.

I think that he played villians in both of them! And not once did he ever
proclaim that the world was about to end!

Wow! Thanks for the info!
Maybe I should have mentioned I'm a Yank, and so have considerably
limited access to such shows...except perhaps, "Blossom", if that is
the show I think it is... :P

I did see the "Making of..." bit with Simon Jones and David Dixon as
Arthur and Ford, and thought it was great, except they teased me with
bits of info about the stars that they didn't seem to intend to give.
The way the words flashed past on the screen so fast one couldn't
possibly read them, etc., etc...

Thank you ever so muchly for the tidbits!
