more infographical goodies

for some reason the memory of these just popped into my wee heid this morning and i realised they could be classed as infographics:

the animated 'guide sequences' from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, created by rod lord. [i refer, of course, to the original 1980's BBC version, not the sacriligeous yankee remake].

i could only find a couple on youpube, but the whole set are available on the beeb's H2G2 page - although you'll need real player to play them.







i used to love that series and those animations, when i was a kid & i was always mystified by what all the text you couldnae read [coz it scrolled past too quickly] was saying.  that was back in the days before computators and intarwebs - when all we could do was try and pause the animations on clunky old VHS video recorders to see [mostly unsuccessfully] if we could decipher anything from the wobbly static filled still-frames.
