I wasn't a big fan of the book either and thought the movie was awful.
The TV show seemed to be okay from the limited exposure I got to it.
Either way, you were at the very beginning of the story. I only checked
out the story because I was told that it was science fiction genius, but
I guess it was a very different time when that applied.

I enjoyed Terry Pratchett's books and Tolkein was okay but most British
sci-fi doesn't do it for me like Gaiman's 'Good Omens' or the whole
'Doctor Who' thing. I think it's the attempts at humor. Benny Hill, Doc
Martin, Monty Python, and so forth didn't impress me either. There seems
to be a tendency to take what might be a funny gag and beat it to death.

I never read any of Terry Pratchett's stuff (didn't even know he was
English) but I've heard of him. I did like Monty Python and some of the
Doctor Who shows (the episode's writer made a huge difference to me, pretty
much anything Steven Moffett wrote I liked — the rest, not so much). I don't
know who Doc Martin is, but I was never a fan of Benny Hill.

Monty Python's Life of Brian from 46 years ago (man, I'm old)...

it's just a sad joke.)
