Sci-Fi Comedy: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 11.20pm BBC2

A timely re-run of the 1981 television series as the film version of Douglas Adams's comic odyssey hits cinema screens. It's an acquired taste - and I'll put my hand up to being one of those who hated it - but if the young 'uns among you want to know what the fuss is about, and if the oldies want to give it another try, here's the chance to thrill again to the adventures of Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect.
