Life, the Universe and Douglas Adams
2002 77 min 1 vues
A celebration of Douglas Adams, the genius behind The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy who died in May 2001, aged just 49. First heard on radio in 1978, Hitch-Hiker turned Adams and his intergalactic cast of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Marvin the Robot into a worldwide cult, the books selling in their millions and enthralling fans from every continent. But Adams was as full of contradictions as the galaxies he created in Hitch-Hiker - a writer who found writing torture, a techie who was ill at ease with the modern world, a sci-fi fanatic who adored PG Wodehouse, and a giant of a man who forgot the extent of his own body and would shut his own legs in the car door. With excerpts from the TV version of Hitch-Hiker and contributions from his many friends including Stephen Fry, Terry Jones, Clive Anderson and Griff Rhys Jones, this documentary explores Life, the Universe and Douglas Adams and finds that the answer is more than 42.

Le Docteur Snuggles vit dans la forêt au milieu de ses amis animaux qui parlent, comme Mathilde Cache-Bidon, Denis le Blaireau, Mademoiselle Nette… Le monde dans lequel vit le Docteur est à son image : il est excentrique et fantastique, un monde où l’imagination n’a pas de limite et devient réalité. Ce cher Docteur est un inventeur de génie dont l’esprit regorge d’idée ! Ainsi, il peut fabriquer des robots, des drôles d’appareils, mais aussi des fusées à partir de bois. Mais de par sa grande intelligence et de son originalité, le Docteur Snuggles attire également la jalousie d’autrui… La série ne compte que 13 épisodes, mais chaque épisode avait une durée de 25 minutes environ. Comme c’est assez long, pour faire durer le plaisir, sur TF1 un épisode était diffusé à coups de 5-10 minutes environ à la fois. C’est pourquoi on a peut-être l’impression qu’il y avait plus d’épisodes que ça, mais en fait, ce n’est pas le cas.

Les aventures du Docteur, un extraterrestre, un Seigneur du Temps originaire de la planète Gallifrey, qui voyage à bord d'un TARDIS (Temps À Relativité Dimensionnelle Inter-Spatiale), une machine pouvant voyager dans l'espace et dans le temps. Le TARDIS a l'apparence d'une cabine de police (construction typiquement britannique ressemblant à une cabine téléphonique), le système de camouflage étant resté bloqué. Comme tous les Seigneur du Temps, le Docteur possède treize vies, ce qui explique sa capacité à changer de corps lorsqu'il est proche de la mort.
