Product Information

The long-awaited sixth series of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - the wittiest and most epic adventure yet! The brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast series based on And Another Thing... the sixth book in the famous Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy . Winner of the 2019 Audie Award for Science Fiction. Forty years on from the first ever radio series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Arthur Dent and friends return in six brand new episodes, in which they are thrown back into the Whole General Mish Mash in a rattling adventure involving Viking Gods and Irish Confidence Tricksters, with our first glimpse of Eccentrica Gallumbits and a brief but memorable moment with The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast Of Traal. Starring John Lloyd as The Book, with Simon Jones as Arthur, Geoff McGivern as Ford Prefect, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Sandra Dickinson and Susan Sheridan as Trillian, Jim Broadbent as Marvin the Paranoid Android and Jane Horrocks as Fenchurch, the cast also includes Samantha Beart, Toby Longworth, Andy Secombe, Ed Byrne, Lenny Henry, Philip Pope, Mitch Benn, Jon Culshaw and Professor Stephen Hawking. First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2018, the series is written and directed by Dirk Maggs and based on And Another Thing... by Eoin Colfer with additional unpublished material by Douglas Adams. This edition also includes over 50 minutes of unbroadcast bonus material. Listeners are reminded that the relaxed attitude to danger provided by Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses is no substitute for running around, screaming. Duration- 3 hours 35 minutes

  • Mostly good

    I was going to give it an "OK" rating but it would be unfair. The Hexagonal phase continues the "trilogy" brought to life by the BBC. There are four elements to this, the music, the sound effects, the narration, and the acting. Nice to have some of the original cast which aids the continuity. Howeve there seemed to be a lot of narration filling in the gaps in the radio play itself, and the writer does seem to have a leaning toward Eccentrica Gallumbits and similar topics throughout this story, for example the doors with personality quoting 'enter in any direction'. The innuendo is a bit boring and not what we come to expect from a Douglas Adams original.Nonetheless if you have the previous five, the music, sound effects and the acting hold up very well. The late Stephen Hawking also makes a token appearance. There's no mention of the sound format (i.e. "surround") which was mentioned before the radio transmissions.
