[edit] Shape
Could someone clarify the adapted shape of the spaceship in the movie? The caption says a teapot and the article says a teacup. Spyco 23:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, and what's the source for this piece of information anyway? To me it doesn't look like either one but more like a pufferfish. --ZeroOne 23:54, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

- The American edition of the "Making Of" book has been sent to "Bargain" status, at least at a local Barnes and Noble. The book isn't explicit, but it says that they went back to the idea that the heart of the Heart of Gold was a cup of tea.... --JohnDBuell 02:12, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Origin of name
I haven't seen any reference to the possibility that the name was derived from the 1972 Neil Young song 'Heart of Gold'. I note that there are references in Douglas Adam's work to Pink Floyd etc. Any thoughts, anyone?Tban 15:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- No, it's just a coincidence. There's no evidence from any of Adams's biographers that he was at all familiar with that song, or Neil Young. --JohnDBuell 18:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
