Publisher's Summary

A dynamic remastering of the original BBC Radio 4 full-cast serial - Fit the First to Fit the Sixth - which spawned a phenomenal hitchhiking legend.

The original series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, remastered by Dirk Maggs (director of the Tertiary, Quandary and Quintessential Phases) to give a full, vibrant sound, now with Philip Pope’s version of the familiar theme tune and specially re-recorded announcements by John Marsh.

Join Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Marvin the Paranoid Android in their first series of adventures as they witness the destruction of Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass, stumble upon the ancient planet of Magrathea, dine at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe and seek an answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and everything.

Peter Jones, Simon Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Mark Wing-Davey, Susan Sheridan, Stephen Moore and a full supporting cast star in these BBC Radio 4 episodes.

A special 55-minute bonus programme, Douglas Adams's Guide to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, explores the genesis of the radio series and its incredible success, with contributions from the original cast and production team.

Audio files were replaced in April 2021.

Great Story, diffucult to follow performance

I do not recommend this title for any kind "in the background while doing something else" listening, the sound effects are a bit much and could have been toned down, making it hard to understand with minimal effort, if you are planning to actively listening to it however, this is not a problem and can easily become one of your favorite's

Time Space Comedy

The orgin of Spacex and Blue orgin should have been made possible by this book.
This book is recommended i think either by Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. This book really tells the reason for their space fantasies.

A wonderfully delightful book!

Absolutely loved every bit of the book and of the drama series!
the drama series, according to me, really flairs up the imagination!
reading the paperback book and listening to the audible book together is the best! I highly recommend that!

A lost treasure that needs to be re-distributed

I was too young to understand this when it aired on BBC in the 80s. I have often wondered why young people today in general lack imagination. Everytime someone says, think out of the box, people struggle to comprehend where the box begins and where it ends.

The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy helps you realize that imagination does not have a box at all and what you could never imagine, is easy and what is so easy, you just couldn't have imagined it yourself.

Long live untamed imagination. Long live Douglas Adams!
