Mostly harmless

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy returns to BBC Radio 4 in a brand new series on Tuesday 21 September at 6.30pm. The final three books in the Hitchhiker 'trilogy' are being adapted for Radio 4 in two new series starting in September 2004 and May 2005. Twenty-five years after the original radio series of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy exploded into the public consciousness, the further exploits of its bewildered hero, Arthur Dent, are being brought to life in their original medium and with the (mainly) original cast.
