Another chance to hear Douglas Adams and John Lloyd 's 12-part comedy from 1978. Fit the Sixth: Will the ultimate question to life, the universe and everything (to which the answer is 42) be discovered? Will our heroes be able to control their newly stolen space ship and the enormous fleet of black battle cruisers that is followingthem? Will all end happily or in the certain death that has threatened them so persistently?
