Product Description
Panic! It's the last ever instalment of "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", with a brand new full-cast dramatisation of Mostly Harmless, the final book in Douglas Adams' famous 'trilogy in five parts'. While frequent flyer Arthur Dent searches the universe for his lost love, Ford Prefect discovers a disturbing blast from the past at "The Hitchhiker's Guide HQ". Meanwhile, on one of many versions of Earth, a blonder, more American Trillian gets tangled up with a party of lost aliens having an identity crisis. And just when Arthur thinks he has found his true vocation on the backwater planet of Lamuella, the original Trillian turns up with more than a little spanner in the works.A stolen ship, a dramatic stampede and a new and sinister Guide lead to a race to save the Earth ...again. But this time, will they succeed? Simon Jones returns as Arthur, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Susan Sheridan as Trillian, Sandra Dickinson as Tricia McMillian, and Stephen Moore as Marvin. William Franklyn is the book, alongside a host of famous guest stars. This extended edition features 30 minutes of material not heard on BBC Radio 4.

Excellent Stuff,

This review is from: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Quintessential Phase (Audio CD)
When I originally listened to the HHGTTG in the 80s, I listened to it countless times, each time picking up on a new thread of the story, discovering more jokes and catch lines. This, as with the 3rd and 4rd phases, is in the same vein. You need to listen to it several times to really appreciate it.Brilliant stuff, and about time.

That's it. No more!,

This review is from: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Quintessential Phase (BBC Audio) (Audio Cassette)
It's quite an undertaking to draw to a close a cult sage that spans four decades, but the BBC manages to pull it off in fine style. Part of the attraction of listening to this is not just the assured performances of the 'original' cast, (Geoffery McGivern and Simon Jones are completely at home as Ford and Arthur) but recognising the other less central characters and the familiar voices behind them. The last phase not only manages to neatly tie up all loose ends from all other series, but also be a less downbeat finale than the book was. To get the benefit of this, though, you have to listen to the Hollywood happy ending which is unexpected to those familiar with the book. It works, but takes a leap of faith to hope that it is as the author would want it. Nice to hear Douglas Adams one more time, too. Over all, a joy to behold.
