Science Fiction series based on the best-selling novel by Douglas Adams. Ford Prefect, an alien who works as a researcher for a guidebook called 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', rescues hapless Englishman Arthur Dent from earth, moments before it is destroyed to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. Prefect then accompanies Dent on a zany galactic voyage in which they meet Zaphod Beeblebrox, a two-headed ex-President of the Galaxy, and his human companion, Trillian. Their journey takes them from the remains of Earth to Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
