Since the first broadcast of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in 1978, four more series were released between 1980 and 2005.
To mark the 40th anniversary of its debut, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is returning to Radio 4 for a sixth instalment in Spring 2018, entitled “Hexagonal Phase”.
After a 12-year-hiatus, Douglas Adams’ much-loved sci-fi radio comedy is back, and many of the original cast members are too.
The radio sensation then was adapted into a bestselling book series, TV show, computer game and film in 2005.
