Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect escape from the Earth moments before its destruction and join forces with Zaphod Beeblebrox on board the Heart of Gold and search for the ultimate question.

When Arthur and his companions realize that the spacecraft they have stolen is heading towards the sun, certain doubts arise as to the wisdom of their decision.

On board a giant construction platform deep inside the planet Magrathea, Arthur Dent is astonished to learn that his former planet Earth (recently destroyed by the Vogons) was not what it had seemed.

Having been blown to smithereens on the planet Magrathea, Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian and Zaphod Beeblebrox are mystified when they find themselves at the end of the universe.

Don't panic! The British TV adaptation of Douglas Adams's cult sci-fi book series follows the misadventures of Arthur Dent, sole survivor of the demolished planet Earth. Join Dent and interplanetary researcher Ford Prefect as they encounter bad alien poetry, a depressed robot, a two-headed spaceship thief, and the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
