The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Secondary Phase (Dramatized)

De: Douglas Adams

Narrado por: Peter Jones, Simon Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Mark Wing-Davey, Susan Sheridan, Stephen Moore

A dynamic remastering of the second BBC Radio 4 full-cast serial - Fit the Seventh to Fit the Twelfth - which spawned a phenomenal hitchhiking legend.

The second original series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy remastered by Dirk Maggs (director of the Tertiary, Quandary and Quintessential Phases) to give a full, vibrant sound, now with Philip Pope’s version of the familiar theme tune and specially re-recorded announcements by John Marsh.

Stranded on Prehistoric Earth since the end of the first series, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect are once again trying to hitch their way off the planet. Zaphod finds his visit to the offices of the Guide rudely interrupted by Frogstar fighters, who further threaten to feed him to the Total Perspective Vortex. Eventually reunited, the three fetch up on the planet Brontitall and discover the indigenous species in something of a flap. Arthur meets Lintilla (several of her), Marvin gets to be a hero once again, and there is a meeting with the Man in the Shack who apparently runs the Universe....

Peter Jones, Simon Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Mark Wing-Davey, Stephen Moore and a full supporting cast star in these BBC Radio 4 episodes.

Also included is a bonus 50-minute interview with Douglas Adams - who died in 2001 - in which he discusses his career and work.

Awesome - And Don't Panic!

I really enjoyed this series when it first aired on the radio and was very happy to find it here! Enjoy this entire series that I believe was originally made by BBC Radio back in the 80's! It was always my treat each week while in grad school. I had read the books prior to listening to these and highly suggest all to do the same! Lady Anne ^^ö^^

Brilliant as usual and a bit more.

long time fan. i heard the first broadcasting of the story in the mid '80's on NPR Phoenix Arizona. Subsequently, I purchased all of the cassettes, CDs, and now... Mp3's! oh yeah and audible!! Brilliant

Another great addition from the BBC and Audible

Here it is! The continuation of the adventures of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect and the rest of the Hitchhiker characters! The next 6 episodes take up where the first phase left off and take you in a completely new direction from the books, TV series or the movie. Some things will be familiar, but, others are completely new. Whether you're a long-time Hitchhiker fan or new to the series, you won't want to miss this unique production from Douglas Adams and the BBC. Get it now! Don't wait! Add it to your cart right now before you forget it! Then, sit back, listen, and, again, most of all, Don't Panic!

More zany craziness, but not as much pop.

This is just as crazy as the first series, but not quite as well done or filled out. It doesn't move as well. Having said that it is still a bit of fun well worth listening to, especially as it it is performed by a top notch cast.

A classic for everyone

if you liked the first series you will not be disappointed! If you are new don't jump in at this point, you really need to start from the beginning!

Good Book

I would definitely recommend this book for teen readers and up.
I started listening probably a year ago, and every time I listen to it again I just love the comedy and story.

Timeless!

Funny, brain-goofing, delightfully performed, sonic joy. Rewire your brain with this instead of that--it'll make you a funnier person, and/or a funner person!

I love this whole story and everything about it

This phase as well as the first one are very funny creative and a thrilling adventure.

Zarquan!

l absolutely love this! Be sure to get all five parts for maximum entertainment. Belgium!

Tripe

I like this books from the beginning because they blew up the earth in the first 15 minutes of the start of the radio show.
