That's right. Sandra Dickinson (Trillian) was married to Peter Davison (Dr 
Who number 5, was it - after Tom Baker?). There's some interesting info 
here 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/h/
hitchhikersguide_7773385.shtml
or http://tinyurl.com/2ql7c to avoid the wrapped line.

I loved the radio series and the LP spinoffs, but wasn't as impressed with 
the TV series - possibly because I'd already associated the radio cast 
with the characters and the changes for the tv series (Trillian & Ford 
Prefect) didn't quite seem right.

Regards, Martin
