Fit the Fourth

The planet is not dead. Engineers are at work making a new Earth to replace the one that was destroyed five minutes too early. The Earth was built by incredibly advanced beings we know as mice as an organic computer for calculating The Question to meaning of life. They want Arthur as a short cut to find out the meaning directly from his brain. The police arrive to get back the stolen space ship.  Cast:  The Book: Peter Jones Arthur Dent: Simon Jones Slartibartfast: Richard Vernon Deep Thought and Ford Prefect: Geoffrey McGivern Zaphod Beeblebrox: Mark Wing-Davey Trillian: Susan Sheridan First Computer Programmer/Bang Bang/Magrathean PA Voice: Ray Hassett Second Computer Programmer: Jeremy SR Browne Cheerleader and Majikthise: Jonathan Adams Vroomfondel and Shooty: James Broadbent Frankie Mouse: Peter Hawkins Benjy Mouse: David Tate Announcer (uncredited): John Marsh (introductory announcement only) Announcer (uncredited): Brian Perkins (closing announcement only) Music: A Rainbow in Curved Air by Terry Riley; Moon City from In Search of Ancient Gods by Absolute Elsewhere; Mikrophonie I by Stockhausen.
