what the critics said:
"It's a remarkable job... it's event radio and quite brilliantly made."
Radio Times
"It's all as comfortingly familiar as an old dressing gown; even the jokes, which have been lodged in my head since the 1980s. And they're still funny too."
Time Out
"... fans won't be disappointed, and the fantasy humour works better on the radio than TV"
The Sunday Telegraph
Quintessential Phase – the third series
Mostly Harmless
In the final 4 instalments, adapted from Mostly Harmless, while frequent flyer Arthur Dent searches the universe for his lost love, Ford Prefect discovers a disturbing blast from the past at The Hitchhiker’s Guide HQ. Meanwhile on one of many versions of Earth, a blonder, more American Trillian gets tangled up with a party of lost aliens having an identity crisis. And just when Arthur thinks he has found his true vocation on the backwater planet of Lamuella, the original Trillian turns up with more than a little spanner in the works. A stolen ship, a dramatic stampede and a new and sinister Guide lead to a race to save the Earth …again. But this time will they succeed?
