We're lucky enough to have been given a sneak peek behind the scenes of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Thanks to our chums at Disney, We’ve got clips from Grant Gee's Don't Crash documentary that will accompany the UK DVD release of the movie.

A Whale of a Time

The first clip shows Bill Bailey recording the voice of the whale as well as a brief interview with the film's executive producer Robbie Stamp. It's introduced by footage of the exuberant Kevin Davies (who made the 'Making of' documentary that appears on the DVD of the TV series) discussing the differences between the TV show's whale and the one seen in the movie.
