Contains: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:Seconds before the Earth is demolished by a Vogon Constructor Fleet to make way for a hyperspace bypass, Arthur Dent, clad in a dressing gown and pyjamas, is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor from Guildford.Together this dynamic pair begin a trek through space on the starship Heart Of Gold a ship powered by the Improbability Drive and which has been stolen by Zaphod Beeblebrox - the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch President of the galaxy (and Ford's cousin); Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formerly Tricia McMillan from Earth, whom Arthur had once tried to pick up at a cocktail party); Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and characters such as Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: If you've done six impossible things this morning, then why not round it off with breakfast, lunch or dinner at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? With your host, Max Quordlepleen! And - of course - Arthur, Ford, Zaphod and Marin the Paranoid Android as they have further intoxicating and intoxicated adventures around the galaxy, having found out what the Earth was actually for in the first place. Life, The Universe and Everything: Still on the trail of the Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything (or rather...we know what the answer is, but not the question...) The inhabitants of Krikkit, after a space ship crash on their idyllic planet, suddenly find they are NOT alone in the Universe and after having a quick look at it, they decide it's got to go. The universe, that is. Now all that stands between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation of everything except Krikket are Arthur Dent, still in his dressing gown and pjs; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice-president of the Campaign for Real Time and designer of Norway (with an award to prove it); Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed and now ex-president of the galaxy; and Trillian, the sexy Earth-girl space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a chronically depressed Zaphod. How will it all end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert cosmic Armageddon and save life as we know it –and don’t know it!So Longand Thanks For All The Fish: Having learnt to fly (by throwing himself at the ground and missing it) Arthur Dent wins a raffle and finds love in the last place he would have expected to find it - but which 3,976,000,000 people find very familiar...and we discover God's Final Message to Mankind. With a guest appearance by Marvin the Paranoid Android.
