Since the last post seemed to freak the Dixonites out a bit, why don't we enjoy some old-school David in his guest appearance on The Sweeney here. The perm! The nicely fitting suit!

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

David, seriously, WTF?

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?

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?

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 Birthday
Best Wishes,
Devon (oct 28 1985)

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... |

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!

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*

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. *blush*
Got 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... ^-^

I'm looking for any David Dixon sound clips from Hitch-hiker's Guide or anything else he was in. I looked up Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy in Google, but only got clips from the radio shows.

It seems I have become the 43rd member of the community, thus pushing the membership beyond the lovely number 42. Sorry!
I've been fond of Mr. Dixon since I first saw him in the HHGTTG tv show in '81. It's good to finally find this group and join like minded others. =)

My name is Molly, and I just found this nice place after searching on Google for David Dixon. I can't believe there is actually a fan site for him. I've been a fan of his since I first saw him as Ford Prefect. :)

Unbelievable, but our David is 60 years old today. I bet he still looks at least ten years younger... by the way, where is the most recent picture of him we have?
I don't dare to hope that maybe they show an old series, HHGG or at least a rerun of the Hitchhiker-South Bank Show or something. Have the brits on this list spotted anything on TV?
Anyway, here's to you David, I hope you have a nice birthday-party with good friends and family, and don't you dare think of retiring! Here's a whole bunch of loonies who'd like to see you. ;-)))

Hello dearest Dixonites!
I am Bishi. I am very very happy to have found this place, as I thought I was the only one in the world who liked this guy...
I am from the States. My interests are having weird obsessions, listening to my iPod way too loudly, and being really really loud in the library with my friends. (It's always fun to get yelled at by elderly librarians...) My age is...um...well...I'm surprised I was even allowed to join this site, because I'm 13. That's right- It's impossible for me to get arrested for drunken driving because I can't do either...
I just bought The Legend of Robin Hood. Unfortunately I can only watch it on the computer because English DVDs won't play on my DVD player...It's still awesome though. British men banging on each other...what could be better?
Adios amigas!
