#Trillian 6 skins tv
These practices irritate me, but not as much as a TV show that is supposed to be watchable for it’s wit yet takes a supposedly intelligent, female character and dresses her just so impractically. Whether we like it or not, it is a fact that women on TV are usually selected to be pleasing to the eye. The rich and famous regularly appear sporting arm candy along with their sharp suits and orange skin, businesses everywhere use booth babes to grab attention for their product. Now, as a woman, I am always aware that I may just not be ‘getting’ the apparent need of the opposite sex to gaze at exposed, female flesh. The film version does at least choose clothes that are a bit more comfortable and practical I mean, if you are a brilliant mathematician and astrophysicist would you choose to explore space and unknown planets dressed like this? I however am struggling to enjoy it, mainly because of the representation of the character Trillian. They were right in that my son is more impressed, despite the obvious ageing of the show (it was first broadcast in the early 1980’s). Having Martin Freeman in it helped, but not enough for my son.įriends suggested that we may get on better with the TV series so we have been watching that this weekend. It is some time since I last read these so I was watching the film more as a standalone piece of entertainment and found it amusing enough.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy film was spoiled for my son by both minor and major changes which he felt took away from the humour which makes the books so good. Radical and apparently pointless changes are just irritating though. It is understandable that not everything in a book can be included in a two or three hour screening so certain aspects of the plot may need to be adjusted to allow a more natural flow. When a film maker finds a fabulous story why does he then feel the need to change it? Fans of the book are likely to be amongst the film’s audience and are unlikely to appreciate such needless tinkering. Too often I find this to be the case when a book is adapted for the big screen. I remembered that my husband and I had felt a bit let down by the film when we first watched it. It is a few years since we last watched this so it seemed like a good plan. My elder son has just reread the books for the umpteenth time so, last weekend, requested the film for our Saturday night family viewing.
#Trillian 6 skins series
We have the wonderful radio series on CD as well as the TV series and film on DVD. I recently bought a replacement set of the trilogy of five books as our originals were falling apart from overuse. My family are big fans of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
