The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Created by Douglas Adams
On BBC Two
A wildly absurdist comedy that treats the destruction of Earth and the search for cosmic meaning as occasions for irreverent wit and philosophical play rather than dread.
Don't Panic! The story of Arthur Dent, an average Englishman whose life was spared by his friend, who turned out to be an alien, while the planet Earth is destroyed. His friend tells him about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a guide with anything you ever needed, and wanted to know. They travel across the galaxy, meeting friendly, and not so friendly characters in order to find the great question (the answer being 42).
