Popular BBC adaptation of the Douglas Adams' novel. Unbeknownst to its inhabitants, Earth is to be demolished to make way for an intergalactic highway. Arthur Dent (Simon Jones), an unassuming Englishman, is whisked off the planet to safety by his alien neighbour Ford Prefect (David Dixon), and launched on a dizzying journey through space and time, with only a towel and a fish to help them, culminating in the discovery of the meaning of life itself.
