Just saw part 6 (?) of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
on TV; and I believe I saw Davison credited as playing
"The Dish of the Day".

Naaw, I don't believe that...I'm really *sure* I saw Davison's
name in the credits.
Okay, who's been VCR'ing the HH Guide series out there? Can somebody
check on this?

Peter was "The Dish of the Day". David Prowse played Hotback Desistato's (sp?) bodyguard (the tough looking guy who picks Ford Prefect up by the collar).

<It's a bug-eyed monster, Doctor!> Yes, it was Peter Davison as "Dish of the Day" in Hitch-hiker's Guide. He doesn't look or sound like himself at all, though. Better actor than I thought. Merlyn Leroy
