Dear All,

I know I promised not to keep bothering you but as the current listings are a bit different I thought I should maybe flag them up.

The listing next to complete in a couple of days is a 17-page dope sheet. Before Pearce Studios were commissioned for the series we were asked to do a trial section. The one the BBC chose was the first half of the Babel Fish up to the point where the non-existence of God crops up. This item is the camera dope sheet for that first section. This is why the title on the dope sheet is "TRIAL" and is consequently the first ever H2G2 dope sheet. I do realise that this makes it a rather esoteric item and not exactly of interest to those in search of visuals but just might be of interest to historians and artefact collectors and can be found here -

For those historians some other items of memorabilia have also popped up. Various bits of storyboard and things like my hand-written notes attempting to come up with a budget for this first trial and some other notes from a production meeting on effects extras needed for episode 2.

Anyway - that sort of stuff will be dropped into the mix as time goes by.

The other items listed at the moment are a series of individual animation key drawings by me for the Dolphins. These are part of a short sequence but because that sequence is incomplete and because I would like to spread the chances for more people to be able to acquire an item if they wish I am offering these as individual items.

Once again the occasional search on eBay for "H2G2_" should do it for any who are interested and I will also keep the Hitch-Hikers page on my web site updated -
