The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a comedy science fiction franchise created by Douglas Adams. Originally a 1978 radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4, it was later adapted to other formats, including novels, stage shows, comic books, a 1981 TV series, a 1984 video game, and 2005 feature film.
Seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a human-like alien writer for the eccentric, electronic travel guide The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.
Together, this dynamic pair began a journey through space aided by a galaxyful of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed, ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian (formerly Tricia McMillan), another human who Zaphod had rescued from Earth; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he’s bought over the years.
Collected here are the six BBC Radio Hitchhiker series, including the adaptation of Eoin Colfer’s sixth book in the trilogy, And Another Thing which was penned 8 years after Douglas Adams’ death.
The cast over the radio trilogy includes Simon Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Mark Wing-Davey, Susan Sheridan, Stephen Moore, Peter Jones, Mike Fenton Stevens, William Franklyn, Phil Pope, Rupert Degas, Dominic Hawksley, Sandra Dickinson, Jim Broadbent, Jane Horrocks, Samantha Béart, Toby Longworth, Andy Secombe, Ed Byrne, Lenny Henry, Mitch Benn, Jon Culshaw and Professor Stephen Hawking.
Listeners are reminded that the relaxed attitude to danger provided by Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses is no substitute for running around, screaming.
