Vogon Poetry (TV series)

McLuhan's Tetrad.

What is most remembered about the television series version is the animation. Rumored to be an early example of computer technology, the animation was actually created frame by frame, like a cartoon. (pg. 198, Webb)

Another example:
Babble Fish

Criticism of cost of TV series:
[For the original radio series] There were no imaginative or budgetary constraints...such freedom does not apply to a visual medium. So Douglas couldn't just adapt the radio scripts; he had to re-imagine the whole adventure visually. (Webb, pg. 191)
