Simon Jones stars as Arthur Dent in a brand new full-cast series based on 'And Another Thing...', the sixth book in the famous 'Hitchhiker's Guide' trilogy.
<BR><BR>Forty years on from the first ever radio series of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', Arthur Dent and friends return to be thrown back into the Whole General Mish Mash, in a rattling adventure involving Viking Gods and Irish Confidence Tricksters, with our first glimpse of Eccentrica Gallumbits and a brief but memorable moment with The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.
