After a successful radio series, then book series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy made the jump to television on January 5th, 1981. Most of the principle cast of the radio series kept their same roles - Simon Jones (Arthur Dent), Peter Jones (the Book), Mark Wing-Davey (Zaphod Beeblebrox), and Stephen Moore (Marven the Paranoid Android) - but Ford Prefect was recast to David Dixon as the producer didn't consider Geoffery McGivern weird enough looking and Trillian was recast to Sandra Dickenson due to Susan Sheridan being unavailable. The show also kept the same theme, but with a new arangement. The first episode followed the introduction of both the radio series and book series, with Arthur Dent trying to prevent his house from being knocked down only to find out his friend was an alien and the Earth was about to be destroyed to make a Galatic Bypass. ("Episode 1", The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, TV, Event)

As George [Martin], Brian, and Judy looked on in horror, one of the diplomats’ wives sneaked up behind Ringo and, with her nail scissors at the ready, snipped a sizable lock of his hair as an impromptu souvenir. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” the usually amiable drummer shrieked. “It almost created a diplomatic incident,” George wrote. Not surprisingly, the bandmates and their entourage beat a hasty retreat, with John later saying, “Some bloody animal cut Ringo’s hair. I walked out, swearing at all of them, I just left in the middle of it.” But of course, it was worse than that. In an instant, George and the Beatles had been reminded, in a deeply personal way, about the role of class in British social politics. Already keenly aware of their social station, the bandmates couldn’t help but feel that the event had put them in their place. […] The incident made for yet another reminder, as [Ringo] would later put it, that to the kinds of folks who frequent high-society embassy soirees, the Beatles would always be “shitkickers from Liverpool.” Perhaps even worse yet, it was how, in their darkest moments, the Beatles (and possibly even George, their elder statesman) still saw themselves. Photographer Harry Benson was especially struck by the group’s reaction as they left the embassy that night. “They were very sad,” he later remarked. “They looked as if they wanted to cry, John, in particular. They weren’t pugnacious. They were humiliated.”
[—from Maximum Volume: The Life of Beatles Producer George Martin, Kenneth Womack]

Review
Loki S1 surprised me in many ways and set itself apart from the other Disney+ Marvel TV Shows by, among other things, its scope. It made perfect sense that it was the first series to get a second season, the trailer looked great…
