what the critics said:

“the quality of the acting is razor-sharp, the radio adaptation pinpoint.”
Chris Campling,
Times T2

“The radio event of the month... [it] didn’t disappoint at all.”
Ruth Cowen,
Sunday Express

“There will be those who listen to...the final series of writer Douglas Adams’s consistently brilliant intergalactic comedy sequence and, with Pavlovian predictability, moan that ‘it’s not as good as the first’. Well let’s put the universe to rights immediately and state, with the full force of a Vogon highway clearance programme, that it is just as good. In fact it’s better.”
Jane Anderson,
Radio Times

“...a true work of the imagination – ironic, affectionate and faintly optimistic beneath its long dark teatime of the soul.”
Gillian Reynolds,
The Telegraph

“With the original cast back together once more, there’s a real buzz about this production. The series is crammed full of guest stars...there are so many jokes you’ll be desperate to listen again on line.”
Jane Anderson,
Radio Times

“Yes I did bang on about [it] last week, but this episode is really very good.”
Phil Daoust,
Guardian G2

“...sci-fi comedy class..”
Chris Campling,
The Times

“Douglas Adams’s brilliantly skewed sci-fi-fantasy world is back for its final instalment.”
Mail on Sunday

“...the original cast can still stroll comfortably into their old roles...the jokes are still funny.”
Pick of the Week,
Lisa Mullen,
Time Out

“eagerly awaited..”
James Rampton,
The Independent
