The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy: Secondary Phase (Hitchhiker's Guide (radio plays)) Audio CD – Unabridged, 13 Sept. 2018

Far out in the outer reaches of the less fashionable western spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small blue-green planet where the ape-descended creatures that live on its surface are blissfully unaware that their planet has been the central target of a story about one of the most amazing books to come out of the great publishing houses of Ursa Minor.The story is about Arthur Dent who, in the Primary Phase of the story, was "rescued" from his home planet which was then blown up by the Vogons to make way for a a galactic hyperspace bypass, was thrown out of an airlock from one of the Vogon Constructor Fleet ships, rescued again by the improbability drive ship, the Heart of Gold, travelled to the legendary planet of Magrathea where it appeared that the late, lamented planet Earth had originally been built as part of a project to discover the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything (to which the answer is 42), blown up and sent forward in time to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe then travelled back again in time, having escaped from certain death in a ship "borrowed" by Arthur's travelling companions then trapped on a small blue-green planet with a large number of middle management, hairdressers and telephone sanitisers two million years before he left said planet.This part of the series covers a number of events involving how Arthur escapes from the planet, how he meets up with his former travelling companions including Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Trillian (though she doesn't have much of a part in this phase) and deals with the various spatial anomalies such as how to deal with a 15' statue of yourself, what is meant by the shoe event horizon and who exactly is in charge or the universe when in fact nobody can be trusted to do that job.And all on less than A$30 (30 altairian dollars) a day!The whole thing is performed by the original cast (it's actually taken from the original radio broadcast, in fact) including Peter Jones as the Book. If you enjoyed the original primary phase, you have to hear this phase!

Brilliant production the original version which made the novel popular
