SAT SAT 18:00 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy b007jm03 (Listen) SAT Primary Phase, Fit the Second SAT Arthur Dent is - so far - the only survivor from Earth, SAT demolished to make way for a by-pass. He survived thanks to SAT his friend, Ford Prefect (who hails not from Guildford, but SAT somewhere near Betelgeuse), a writer for the Hitchhiker's SAT Guide To The Galaxy, "the most successful book ever to have SAT come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa SAT Minor". Both are now at the mercy of the Vogon Captain, and SAT even worse, powerless in the face of his poetry. The only SAT thing which can save them now is an unlikely coincidence or SAT two - and it may lead to an encounter with a certain bipolar SAT automaton. SAT The global multi-media success story that is "Hitchhiker's" SAT started life as a Radio 4 series in March 1978. The original SAT scripts by the late Douglas Adams then went on to spawn a SAT series of novels, a feature film, at least three stage SAT shows, a TV series, a computer game, a collection of comic SAT books - and various towels. SAT The Guide helpfully informs us that the most obscene SAT expletive in the Galaxy is "Belgium". SAT Douglas Adams was born in Cambridge and died in 2001 at the SAT age of 49. He suffered a fatal heart attack after working SAT out at his gym in California. SAT The answer to the meaning of life, the universe and SAT everything is 42.
