Horseman Riding By	[12 Nov 2010\|01:06pm]
I'm watching Horseman Riding By lately, and I was very excited to see David there as the son of the curate and a pacifist. :) Looking forward to finding out what happens to his character.

Some sort of subject here	[29 Dec 2009\|01:07am]
Hi there! (is it sad that whenever I say that I want to continue with "this is Eddie your shipboard computer!"? Anywho...)I'm new here, to this group and to livejournal (thought I'd finally join, after all these years I've been hanging around on the internet :P...), so I just thought I'd say hello! I've been a Hitchhiker's fan for quite a while, but I'd actually never watched the TV series until... well, a few days ago, really :P And I have to say... David is lovely, isn't he? So over the course of a few days, he's gained another fan! And by the way, I agree with everyone who's said he should be in Doctor Who... he'd be _perfect!_=DAnyway, I guess that'll be it for now... peace and love!

A Family At War	[22 Sep 2009\|11:04pm]
Hi there girls! We've been somewhat quiet these days, eh? Well, I came along just to say "Hi" and I brought a little gift for you - two short clips from young David's appearance in "Family at War". In the first he's showing off in his "very classy" PJs and in the second he's showing off in his very classy uniform while visiting the sick. Please enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch www.youtube.com/watch

Hi there :)	[19 Sep 2009\|10:41pm]
Hi there, glad to see ya, Dixon fans!I'm Selina form Bulgaria, 19 years old (if that's in any significance) and I've just discovered the unique and dashing charm of The Man you all are worshiping here.In 2005 i saw The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I hadn't read the book and I liked the movie very much. I was kinda surprised to hear that the fans were furious about Mos Def playing Ford Prefect. I mean - so what? He's black, big deal. Why should everyone be such a racists? Some weeks later I actually get to read the book and I realized what was wrong. The curiosity began to grow in me and I decided to find out who that "other Ford"-guy was. I asked Dr. Google and that's what I found out: Dazzling, isn't he.Unfortunately, I was not able to acquire the TV show, so that was everything I had to live with. Until a week or so ago. Now I'm looking for the other David Dixon movies. I already saw "The Sweeney" and "Tutti Frutti" episodes that he's in and "The Tempest" and "Robin Hood" clips on YouTube and I'm currently on a hunt for "Lillie". Wish me luck!

I fear for our man's sanity.	[18 Jun 2009\|04:35pm]
[ mood \| chipper ] [ music	Loch Lomond- Carl Sagan ] Our beloved David has recently starred in two videos by Paddington and Montgomery (don't know who they are but they appear to be out of their minds), and soundtracked by The Sans Pareil. They're bizarre. They're called "Uncle Pappy's Pink Sausage Loot" and "Teeth Thief". I didn't watch all of "Pink Sausage Loot"- David doesn't even show up until halfway through. As for Teeth Thief, well, it's quite disturbing and bloody and centers around David's character, "Uncle Pappy", removing his teeth. Why anyone would want to film that, I have no idea. Anway, I thought I'd post links to these because at least it means he's doing something. But like I said, they're disturbing, so please don't kill me if they scar you for life. Here they are. Pink Sausage Loot:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ezUpxg5qik&feature=related Teeth Thief: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2PXcXZuWGkDavid, seriously, WTF?

new article mention	[09 Dec 2008\|08:21pm]
Long time no post! I found the following passages in an article on Richard Beckinsale from the Nottingham Evening Post:_Eventually Richard made it into Clarendon, where he met other aspiring actors including David Dixon, who went on to be Ford Prefect on the BBC2 version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.He said: "We used to go to a folk club called The News House, just off Slab Square . Our drink was black and tans - Mackesons and mild - but I could only drink one or I'd be sick all night and wake up with a terrible hangover. Richard didn't have that problem."_Speaking of David and Richard Beckinsale, have people seen this video?

dixonite man	[07 Nov 2008\|01:23pm]
I have been commanded by my boyfriend to alert you to the fact that he has recently got his hair cut just like one of the photographs of David Dixon as Prince John (notably, when he's all lovely and naked in the steamroom - oh yes...) and since he already looked a touch like Mr. Dixon himself, it's a wonderful treat to have him around the house.Again, as promised previously, as soon as he is back on the market, I will let all you lucky ladies know. I'm not intending on making that anytime soon though!

David as Dr. Who?	[06 Nov 2008\|06:21am]
YES. I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who, but mostly the stuff pre-Paul McGann. I do like Tennant but when I heard he was stepping down it seemed a fantastic opportunity for Mr. Dixon to step into the role (YAY!). Now, question is...would David want to do it? What do you all think?

epidemy of a traveller	[28 Oct 2008\|11:58pm]
Most of us know David best as Ford Prefect. Through Ford David Dixon expresses Adam's 'detached-clever-and-always-motivated' feelings on life and the universe. The vast bliss that comes from our traveling through existence touches the mind in way that only the Hitch Hiker's Guide can unlock. we are all apart of something "unimaginable"David, You bring that to life!thank you and Happy BirthdayBest Wishes,Devon (oct 28 1985)

Happy birthday to David!	[28 Oct 2008\|09:15pm]
[ mood \| bouncy ] [ music	The windchimes outside my house ] Today is David's birthday! (Well not really because it's like 3:00 AM in England. So it WAS David's birthday.)Happy birthday to him. throws confetti PS: This is rather random, but has anyone else noticed that he has almost the same birthday as John Cleese?

o! for the love of david...	[29 Jul 2008\|09:45pm]
I always loved the Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy television series, but it wasn't until watching Jumping Beanbag a number of months ago that I realised how much I truly desired him. There must be something about watching a man half-naked in a loin-cloth.Here's the strange thing though...my boyfriend has something about him which reminds me of David Dixon so much! In fact, he sometimes even wears a pin-striped blazer with a badge which proudly proclaims "Prefect" as a little bit of an in-joke. It's the shape of the eyes and the fair hair, probably. Anyhow, I adore David Dixon with quite a passion, and half of me is sorry that so many other people also worship him, since obviously, the day he comes to claim me as his bride (despite a 43-year age gap!) will be a sad one for you...I jest, I jest. I live in Scotland, and have just noticed, from reading through your posts, that he lives in Eastriggs? Hmm. I must journey there, and declare my ardent affections for the rest of his life. Perhaps it is best to stick with a man who looks like a young David Dixon though. SLAG BAG FOREVER!

Train... I mean: Dixspotting	[12 Jul 2008\|12:58am]
[ mood \| surprised ] [ music	Will Ye No Come Back Again ] Hey ladies, look what I found on Wikipedia this morning:_Dixon has very recently moved to Eastriggs in southern Scotland. He is regularly spotted by locals walking his black labrador._Now as happy as I am about any news about David, I can't help feeling a bit uncomfortable that someone practically puts his new address on the net like this. Hope he doesn't get stalked.... Tempted? Moi? Never! I live too far away.Any scots here, per chance? ;-)))))) He loves dogs! happy sigh

Still not quite sure what I'm doing here...	[02 May 2008\|01:54am]
[ mood \| optimistic ] Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Here's what I've done, I've become a LJ member without even really knowing what this is and I'm a bit overwhelmed by all this stuff now, but I've done it just to become a real dixonite, so you all really owe me something now.I'm one of those who found this by coincidence (my path was: Google --> Wikipedia --> Dixionary --> Dixonites ^.^) and stalked it for a while (I even wrote an anonymous entry ^.^) before deciding I just had to join.Hope I'm welcome. blushGot to know David when my best friend - both of us are crazy fans of the hitchhiker's-books - sent me a link to a scene from the series on youtube, just for fun to show me what it all looked like in the series. I fell in love with Ford almost instantly and that was it... I watched the whole series on youtube, bought the DVD box to watch it all again (and of course to hear David talk about his "brilliant penguin"), looked for whatever I could find about him in the net and now, here I am.And before I go to sleep now, a special hello to janxspirit, I'm from Germany too. =)But I bet that I'm the only lesbian in here... yeah right, that's why my best friend was a little flabbergasted when I told him Ford was cute in the series. Strange things happen. But no rule without exception, right? And for David, I'd make an exception everytime... ;-)Yeah, that would be all... ^-^- Beth
