Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, The Quandary Phase Synopsis
Don’t panic! The Hitchhiker’s saga returns once again with a full-cast dramatisation of So Long and Thanks For All the Fish, the fourth book in Douglas Adams’s famous ‘trilogy in five parts’.
The Earth has miraculously reappeared and, even more miraculously, Arthur Dent has found it. Returning to his cottage after... well... ages, he falls in love with the girl of his dreams.
But Ford Prefect is on to something which might well burst Arthur’s bubble. There is, after all, something very fishy about his girlfriend’s feet, and what has happened to all the dolphins? Perhaps, at last, all will be revealed in God’s Last Message to His Creation…
Simon Jones returns as Arthur, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford and Stephen Moore as Marvin. William Franklyn is the Book and Jane Horrocks is Fenchurch. Guest stars include Stephen Fry, June Whitfield, Bill Paterson, Arthur Smith, Sir Patrick Moore, Jackie Mason and Christian Slater.
This extended edition features 30 minutes of material not heard on BBC Radio 4.

Douglas Adams Press Reviews
‘At the risk of being controversial, it’s better than the book... Hitchhiking is back – long may it continue.’ Guy Clapperton, Radio Times
About Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams was born in 1952 and created all the various and contradictory
manifestations of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: radio, novels, TV,
computer game, stage adaptation, comic book and bath towel. The Hitchhiker’s
Guide to the Galaxy was published thirty years ago......on 12 October 1979 and its phenomenal success sent the
book straight to number one in the UK bestseller list. In 1984 Douglas Adams
became the youngest author to be awarded a Golden Pan. His series has sold over
15 million books in the UK, the US and Australia and was also a bestseller in
German and many other languages. The feature film starring Martin Freeman and
Zooey Deschanel with Stephen Fry as the Guide was released in 2005 using much of
Douglas’s original script and ideas. Douglas lived with his wife and daughter in
Islington, North London, and briefly in California, where he died in 2001.
