Summary
A dynamic remastering of the original BBC Radio 4 full-cast serial - Fit the First to Fit the Sixth - which spawned a phenomenal hitchhiking legend.
The 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.
Join Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Marvin the Paranoid Android in their first series of adventures as they witness the destruction of Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass, stumble upon the ancient planet of Magrathea, dine at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe and seek an answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and everything.
Peter Jones, Simon Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Mark Wing-Davey, Susan Sheridan, Stephen Moore and a full supporting cast star in these BBC Radio 4 episodes.
A special 55-minute bonus programme, Douglas Adams's Guide to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, explores the genesis of the radio series and its incredible success, with contributions from the original cast and production team.
Audio files were replaced in April 2021.

This is a great production of a fantastic story. I can thoroughly recommend this and I am looking forward to listening to the rest once I’ve finished listening to We are Legion: We are Bob!

Classic
A classic. The original, and one of the better versions of Hitchhiker's Guide. Maybe it works because this is how Douglas Adams initially wrote it as radio play, or maybe it's just good no matter what form it takes, but for me this is the go to version of THGTTG.

Requires concentration
The audiovoices for some characters are hard to comprehend in this version. At least for a non native speaker.

INSPIRATIONALLY HUMOROUS
I ALWAYS FIND THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY A GREAT WAY TO COOL OFF IN THE EVENING AND GO TO SLEEP LISTENING TO! I HAVE GOT ALL OF THE AUDIBLE AWARDS I HAVE FROM HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY.

The Original
I've enjoyed the novel versions of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but the BBC radio version, which was the first, is easily the best. All the characters are cast perfectly and the tight deadlines helped the author not be self-indulgent (a trap the novel 'So Long and Thanks for All the Fish' fell into)
