The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

on BBC Two England

by DOUGLAS ADAMS
In the second of six parts Arthur Dent begins to discover how vastly, hugely, unimaginably big space is.
Oddly enough, however, the first people he bumps into in the Horsehead Nebula are a couple he previously met at a party in Islington. He is surprised by this and saddened by a robot.
