Episode 6 - S1-E6

Corrected entry: 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.

Correction: 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.

Episode 6 - S1-E6

Corrected entry: 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.

Correction: 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.

Arthur Dent: You know, I've always had this feeling there was some greater purpose.
Slartibartfast: No, that's just ordinary paranoia. Everybody in the Universe has that.
Arthur Dent: Well if everyone has it, then perhaps it means something.

Episode 6 - S1-E6

Question: When Marvin is left behind in the Disaster Area ship as the others teleport away, he says, "I'm so intelligent I've probably got time to go through the five." before he is cut off. Is there anything in the books or rest of the series which suggests what we was about to say?

Moose

Chosen answer: That seems to be an error in the subtitling of the episode. What Marvin actually says is: "I may just be a menial robot, but I'm far too intelligent to expect to think of me for a moment... far too intelligent..."
