"Today must be a Thursday. I never did get the hang of Thursdays."

THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY is a new six-part mini-series developed by Pete D. Gaskell, based on the acclaimed books by Douglas Adams.

Arthur Dent had been having a bad morning. Not only was he tired, hungover, and depressed, he found out that his home was scheduled for demolition to make way for a new bypass. Just when he thought his day couldn't get any worse, Ford Prefect turned up. And then the day got much, much worse...

Alone in a universe he cannot comprehend with only a gibbering madman from Betelgeuse for company, Arthur finds his longing for a quiet, trouble-free life put to the test.

In a completely different part of the universe entirely, Galactic President Zaphod Beeblebrox goes for one final crazy Presidential stunt - the theft of the experimental new ship, the Heart of Gold. It contains the most revolutionary method of propulsion ever invented - the fabled Infinite Improbability Drive. Can this ship successfully restore Zaphod's lost sense of adventure?

The wildest ride this side of the Orion Belt isn't far away - so grab onto your towels and remember two very important words of advice:

DON'T PANIC.
