The newest BBC Radio 4 full-cast series predicated on And Another Thing… the sixth publication in the famous Hitchhiker’s Guide “trilogy”.

Forty years about from the initial ever radio series of The Hitchhiker’s Information to the Galaxy, Arthur Dent and friends come back in six brand new episodes, in which they may be thrown back to the complete General Mish Mash in a rattling experience involving Viking Gods and Irish Self-confidence Tricksters, with this first glimpse of Eccentrica Gallumbits and a short but memorable about The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Hexagonal Phase: And Another Thing… moment using the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast Of Traal.

Starring John Lloyd as The Reserve, with Simon Jones as Arthur, Geoff McGivern as Ford Prefect, Tag Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Sandra Dickinson and Susan Sheridan as Trillian, Jim Broadbent as Marvin the Paranoid Google android and Jane Horrocks as Fenchurch, the cast also includes Samantha Béart, Toby Longworth, Andy Secombe, Ed Byrne, Lenny Henry, Philip Pope, Mitch Benn, Jon Culshaw and Professor Stephen Hawking.

First broadcast about BBC Radio 4 in 2018, the series is written and directed by Dirk Maggs and based on And ONE MORE THING… by Eoin Colfer with additional unpublished materials by Douglas Adams. This edition also includes over 50 minutes of unbroadcast reward material.

Listeners are reminded that the relaxed attitude to danger supplied by Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses is no substitute for playing around, screaming.
