BBC Radio 4 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Live on stage, Douglas Adams's enduring sci-fi characters relive some of their adventures.

Douglas Adams's comic sci-fi creation returns to where it all began, BBC Radio 4, in a live transmission from London's Radio Theatre. Stars Simon Jones.

Some of the most enduring characters ever created for radio will be heard in a special, live broadcast from London's BBC Radio Theatre, as part of Character Invasion.

The two-headed smooth-talking alien Zaphod Beeblebrox, bemused Earthling Arthur Dent, and Marvin the Paranoid Android will relive some of their adventures, with a very special appearance by the original producer John Lloyd as The Voice of the Book.

Adapted and Directed by Dirk Maggs

Producer: David Morley
A Perfectly Normal production for BBC Radio 4.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
