Ohhh, I loved him in Hitchhiker’s Guide also, though I hated the movie itself. When the trailer is light-years better than the movie, you know you’re in trouble. But he was Arthur Dent, that’s all there is to it.
But you should really give Sherlock another chance. Happens to be I’ve never seen that episode, but at least try it from the first one. It’s REALLY good.
Why don’t you like it?
