The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Tertiary Phase (BBC Radio Full-Cast Dramatization)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Tertiary Phase (BBC Radio Full-Cast Dramatization) by Adams, Douglas. audioCD edition. ISBN: 0601531546922.

The brand new third installment of Douglas Adamss classic time travel tale, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary Phase, is now available on audio. The long-awaited CD—which revives the BBCs popular radio series with this new six-part dramatization of Adamss book Life, the Universe and Everything—features 25 minutes of exclusive and previously unheard footage and features the author himself playing the role of Agrajag. 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.
