Please explain the link between the 2005 HHGTTG movie and the recent
episodes of Doctor Who...

Well I suppose as HHGTTG was written by a man who wrote and script-
edited episodes of Doctor Who in the 1970's, I could accept
"the feel" as a link. As I'm sure there have been a few
similarities, especially back in the day. (Which we could discuss if
you wanted to dust off your old Tom Baker narrated Shada VHS tape.)
But I certainly don't get that "feel" between the 2005 movie version
of HHGTTG and RTD's four 2023 Doctor Who 'specials'!

The Goofy scene with the [imaginary] Whale coming to terms with it's
identity before THUD! ... like the plant pot hitting the window,
doesn't really say Doctor Who to me. (And it wasn't even that funny.)

Star Trek did a Whale in space too...

Just happened to be reading a thread "Dr Who has read the Hitchhikers
Guide?" in the Doctor Who archives and they mentioned THE ORIGINAL
HHGTTG .....

Quote
Something said in passing towards the end of Ghost Light by the Doctor
went something like:

'Who said "They never invite their ancestors around for dinner"?'

I don't have a tape of the episode to go back and check. It is obviously
a reference to an entry in the Hitchhikers' Guide. These remarks go past
so fast its hard to spot them. Can anyone verify it, and perhaps know of
more like it?

P.S. The other nice bit I remember was in the 25th anniversary daleks
story, where the Doctor and Ace leave a room with a television going, on
the BBC, with an announcer just starting to introduce a new
science-fiction series...
End Quote

Anybody know if the line *IS* actually a reference to HHGTTG??

Many places attribute the quote, or slightly differently worded
versions, to Douglas Adams and according to IMDB.com, the quote is by
the Guide ("The Book").
<https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1113227/quotes/>

It does appear in the original BBC TV series transcription:
<https://subslikescript.com/series/The_Hitchhikers_Guide_to_the_Galaxy-81874/season-1/episode-1-Episode_11>

BUT ...
It isn't in the draft movie script:
<https://imsdb.com/scripts/Hitchhiker%27s-Guide-to-the-Galaxy,-The.html>
<https://assets.scriptslug.com/live/pdf/scripts/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-2005.pdf>

nor in the original radio script:
<https://archive.org/details/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-by-douglas-adams-and-abbie-bernstein-february-9-1987>

and it doesn't appear in the book either:
<https://www.deyeshigh.co.uk/downloads/literacy/world_book_day/the_hitchhiker_s_guide_to_the_galaxy.pdf>
