At the point where someone gets a small bruise on the upper arm, the crew are all in a pile and thrashing about on the floor. There are 5 pairs of legs instead of 4. Arthur is in his pajamas, Zaphod is in orange trousers, Trillion is lying on top of Ford and Ford is too far away for them to be his legs. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
Arthur and Ford find the ultimate question by taking letters at random from a Scrabble set - spelling 'What do you get if you multiply six by nine' - and the words 'Forty' and 'Two' are already on the board. That is five Ys - and there are only two Ys in a Scrabble set. [They are playing with Arthur's homemade Scrabble set, not a standard one, so he could add as many of each letter as he wanted.]

When Ford checks the escape pods, Zaphod is holding a shoe up, which you're supposed to asume is the end of Ford's leg. But you can see the inside of the shoe. What's more, when he drops it, you hear Ford fall but don't see him. [Ford's leg is there, it's just black so it's hard to see. And when Zaphod drops him, he throws him to the side.]
Before Zaphod, Arthur, Ford and Trillian enter the lift after talking to the mice, Trillian wears a dull red suit which hasn't been done up much. However when they leave the lift Trillian's suit is shiny and is considerably more done up. Her suit stays like this until in episode 5 after the book explains Milliways when it suddenly changes back. [She is wearing a shiney red jacket over the top of her spandex. As they land on the planet and are walking to the airlock on the ship, you can see her carrying it.]
How come all the people of Earth can correctly understand what the Vogon Captain is saying, while Arthur needs to put a Babelfish in his ear to understand it? [There is probably some sort of translator mechanism in the Vogon's PA system.]
