  • It was written by Douglas Adams and stars Arthur Dent as Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect as The Doctor. And Peter Davison did a cameo. The books and radio play also exist in the Doctor Who universe.

It is about a man called Arthur Dent who one morning, after fighting tooth and nail to stop his house from being demolished, is startled to discover that an old friend of his called Ford Prefect, who he knew to come from Gilford.

  • Conceived as an electronic guide to the entire galaxy, the Guide was realised by Megadodo Publications of Ursa Minor Beta. While Megadodo's staff originally drew up a 10-month plan to finish the Guide, they had not considered the fact that life did, in fact, exist beyond their backyard. When this fact was discovered after eight months of careful cataloguing of various species of earthworms, the staff decided to build a galaxy-wide network, the Sub-Etha Net, through which it could recruit "researchers" and receive their entries. Within a month, the Guide grew exponentially in information.

It has about a hundred tiny flat press buttons and a screen about four inches square on which any one of a million "pages" could be summoned at a moment's notice. The reason why it was published in the form of a micro sub meson electronic component is that if it were printed in normal book form, an interstellar hitch hiker would require several inconveniently large buildings to carry it around in. It is not an Earth book, and has never been published on Earth. Until now.
  • Lines and characters from Hichhiker's have appeared in Doctor Who. * The Seventh Doctor once asked, rhetorically, who had said that "Earthmen rarely invite their ancestors to dinner", which came from the series. (TV: Ghost Light) * The Tenth Doctor once compared himself to Arthur Dent after saving the Earth from invasion in a dressing gown — Dent's trademark dress — and after being awoken from his post-regenerative coma by tea, the character's favourite drink. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) However, at no point was Arthur Dent ever specifically identified as a Hitchhiker's character in a Doctor Who work. * The number 42, which in the Hitchhiker's series was the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything, was one of the numbers the Tenth Doctor guessed when trying
