Publisher's Synopsis
Douglas Adams third Hitchhiker s book, "Life, the Universe, and Everything," has now been transformed into an amazing full-cast BBC Radio 4 drama. With astonishing sound effects, wonderful incidental music, twenty-five minutes of exclusive and previously unheard footage, and featuring the author himself playing the role of Agrajag, this is one of the most staggering audio events of the decade!
The plot picks up where the second radio series left off: Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect escape from prehistoric Earth on a time-traveling sofa while a pack of homicidal robots blow up Lords Cricket Ground. Armed only with a rabbit bone, a worn dressing gown, and a spaceship that looks remarkably like an Italian bistro, Arthur embarks on an intergalactic journey to save the universe.
Several members of the original BBC Radio 4 cast reunited for this special audio production, including Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford Prefect, Susan Sheridan as Trillian, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, and Stephen Moore as Marvin the Paranoid Android. Richard Griffiths, Chris Langham, Joanna Lumley, and cricket commentators Fred Trueman and Henry Blofeld also star in this brilliant satire replete with incisive comedic wit."
