Don't panic! Douglas Adams's best-selling cult classic comes to DVD! The six-part cult series from 1981 is complete and fully remastered. After Earth is destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass, Arthur Dent is let loose in the furthest recesses of the Galaxy armed only with the mysterious but indispensable Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Follow Dent's cosmic adventures as he is joined by his pretty weird companions. You never know, they may even find the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything!
Guest stars include Stephen Fry, Sir Patrick Moore, Jackie Mason, Christian Slater and?through the miracle of audio technology?Douglas Adams as Agrajag.
Based on the best-selling novel by Douglas Adams, this cult series features spectacular visual trickery and a generous helping of zany humour (perhaps from the Restaurant at the Edge of the Universe). Audiences will love it, sci-fi fans or not.
