The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy: Quandary Phase

De: Douglas Adams

Narrado por: Simon Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Full Cast

Don’t panic! The Hitchhiker’s saga returns once again with a full-cast dramatisation of So Long and Thanks For All the Fish, the fourth book in Douglas Adams’s famous ‘trilogy in five parts’.

The Earth has miraculously reappeared and, even more miraculously, Arthur Dent has found it. Returning to his cottage after...well...ages, he falls in love with the girl of his dreams.

But Ford Prefect is on to something which might well burst Arthur’s bubble. There is, after all, something very fishy about his girlfriend’s feet, and what has happened to all the dolphins? Perhaps, at last, all will be revealed in God’s Last Message to His Creation....

Simon Jones returns as Arthur, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford and Stephen Moore as Marvin. William Franklyn is the Book and Jane Horrocks is Fenchurch. Guest stars include Stephen Fry, June Whitfield, Bill Paterson, Arthur Smith, Sir Patrick Moore, Jackie Mason and Christian Slater.

This extended edition features 30 minutes of material not heard on BBC Radio 4.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"At the risk of being controversial, it’s better than the book...Hitchhiking is back - long may it continue." (Guy Clapperton, Radio Times)

Short and sweet

Not as smooth as the earlier phases. However, still a great way to spend a few hours. Zany.

Fun listen

This story overall is not quite as good as the earlier stories. The narration and overall production are excellent

gud

not as good as the first three phases but still awesome
9. 5/10 towels 🙂

fun story

fantastic fun working it's way to completeing the wrong worded trilogy the story's continue in the story line

Surprisingly Sad

Although I laughed out loud many times while listening to this, including once quite hysterically, the ending left me feeling rather sad! I won't say more, so as not to spoil it, but although (just with the last entry in this series) I have definitely read the book this radio drama was based on, "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish", I didn't remember anything about it besides the titular phrase and who said it. That allowed me to enjoy this audiobook without any expectations, which is nice when you KNOW you're going to enjoy it, you just don't know why yet!

It goes without saying that I recommend this to everyone following the radio series, as well as Hitchhiker's fans in general. I'll be moving onto the next entry with enthusiasm, and especially with the hope that it will help mend the heart that this one broke 💔
