A HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

For further information, contact the author at: dickjudge@juno.com

A British export but a welcome sound. This twelve part series was so
well received in Great Britain that it was repeated three times on
British radio. It was turned into a best-selling book, a record album
and a London stage show. We in the colonies were treated to this highly
amusing series in the early 1980s, usually airing over NPR. This is the
story that begins on Earth,"an utterly insignificant little blue-green
planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that
they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea." Our hero is
Arthur Dent, the only survivor when Earth was demolished to make way for
an inter-galactic bypass, which, as it turned out, wasn't needed after
all. He embarks on a ramble through the universe with an ordinary
looking neighbor who, it turns out, comes from another planet and is a
"roving researcher" for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

NOTE: Both the six hour and ninety minute variations of the Hitchhiker's
Guide are available and in circulation. For any further information or
