What memories do you have of Douglas Adams?
I think this is probably my favourite memory so far of Douglas Adams. I've always been a fan of his work, bought all the books, listened to the radio series, watched the television series of Hitchhiker's Guide, but my favourite memory of Douglas Adams' work has to be the day before yesterday when we were doing the read-through. Having read the script previously it's good on the page and it comes across, but when you actually hear actors speaking his words for the first time and making something of it, especially the actors we've got here who are of such a high calibre, it brings it all alive and you see the sideways logic.
He had an interesting sideways logic to how he did things and that comes across when an actor is given the opportunity to perform his work.
