The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary Phase is a new six-part dramatisation of the third book in Douglas Adams's "Trilogy in Four Parts", Life, the Universe and Everything. We rejoin Arthur Dent--after his anticlimactic revelation of the meaning of life and his unceremonious return to earth--to find him living in a hideously miserable cave in prehistory. However, just as he thinks that things cannot possibly get any worse, they suddenly do. He discovers that the Galaxy is not only mind-bogglingly big and bewildering, but also that most of the things that happen in it are staggeringly unfair.
Many of the cast of the original BBC Radio 4 series have been reunited for superb sequel, which features 20 minutes of material not heard in the broadcast version. The sound is crystal clear and the running time is a massively entertaining 3 hours and 10 minutes. Among the returning cast are Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford Prefect, Susan Sheridan as Trillian, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox and Stephen Moore as Marvin the Paranoid Android. And even the delightful Joanna Lumley pops up unexpectedly. --Paul Eisinger

Mit der 'Tertiary Phase' knüpft die BBC an den Erfolg der ersten zwei Phasen, die in den späten Siebzigern produziert und gesendet wurden an. Der Stoff wurde excellent wieder aufgenommen und inszeniert.
Wer die 'Primary' und 'Secondary' Episoden kennt, kommt schon bei der Titelmusik auf sein Kosten: Es ist die Gleiche wie in den ursprünglichen Episoden.
Nicht nur das. Auch die Sprecher sind wiedervereinigt - Simon Jones als Arthur Dent, Geoffrey McGivern als Ford Prefect, Susan Sheridan als Trillian, Mark Wing-Davey als Zaphod Beeblebrox und Stephen Moore als Marvin der Paranoide Android.
Über den Inhalt muss ich hier sicher kein Wort verlieren ...
Ein muss für alle 'Hitchiker' Fans

Good follow up to the series
21. April 2005
Format:Audio CD
When I heard they were going to continue the radio series, I found myself being both extremely happy and a little puzzled. After all, Douglas Adams has been dead for a number of years.
I grew up listening to the original radio show and have gone to sleep with it playing for more nights than I can count. As far as Tertiary Phase goes, it is certainly better than all 53 things you can do in zero gravity and is more exciting than a zerbra crossing.
If your a big fan of the original two series, these are the things you need to know: The voices are different but the same! Sadly, Peter Jones died in 2000, before the series was recorded so the voice of the book is a different actor. However, despite the differences in voice the new actor does a comendable job. Despite Peter's passing, they have managed to get all the same actors back again. Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod, Simon Jones as Arthur, and even Stephen Moore for Marvin. While it's awesome that they all came back, you can tell how much they have aged. Zaphod's beech-bum style of talking sounds oddly strange coming from an "old man's" tone of voice. Despite this, all the actors bring the same great performances they did in the original.
There's also a bit score for this series which is a good addition.
Dirk Maggs, who is this series producer has managed to create Douglas' world again without making it seem like someone other than Douglas was creating it.
All in all, if you enjoyed the first two series, I am certain you will enjoy this one. And for those of you just looking at this because you saw the movie or read the book, get the Radio Show and listen to it now! (Be sure to get the other parts first).

The magic is gone
11. Juni 2005
Format:Audio CD|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a fan of the original radio series from way back, I was delighted when I heard that the BBC was going to do 6 more radio episodes with the original cast. Unfortunately, this is like listening to a reunion concert of an old rock group -- they try, but they can't recapture the original energy, and their new material isn't as good as their old hits. To be sure, there are some wonderful bits scattered throughout these 3 hours (such as "Bistro Math"), but not enough to make up for a lot of tedium, either from lackluster gags or overlong scenes that simply wear out their welcome. Much of this is due to the material itself, given that HHGTHG after its first original six episodes became something of a shaggy dog story. Still, the "secondary phase" had a manic energy, perhaps because all concerned were in some sense working with a proverbial gun to their heads, scrambling to come up with the next episode and get it on the air, mixed with great chemistry in the cast. That sort of energy just can't be recaptured, and the chemistry is gone. Although Arthur Dent remains a solid anchor, Zaphod sounds like a tired old shell of himself, and Ford, with little to do, isn't firing on all cylinders. Marvin, who was always a one note gag, isn't funny this time -- we heard the joke enough before. None of the nice sound effects and production can compensate for what's missing in the script and performances.
Bottom line: I can't imagine ever listening to these episodes a second time, which to me is the ultimate gauge of whether you should spend this much money to buy audio entertainment (much less invest 3 hours listening to them all). The old episodes on the 4th listening are still more enjoyable than these are on the 1st listening. You can't go home again.

Life, the Universe and Everything.
9. Mai 2005
Format:Audio CD
Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy returns to the radio in this BBC Radio production of HHGG: The Tertiary Phase. The "Tertiary Phase" is a radio adaptation of Adams' third Hitchhiker's Guide novel Life, The Universe and Everything. Producer Dirk Maggs and his cast have put together a very good, highly entertaining production of Book Three. Many of the original cast from the first two Hitchhiker's radio series have returned, including Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford Prefect, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Susan Sheridan as Trillian and Stephen Moore as the terminally depressed Marvin the Paranoid Android. Other cast members include Richard Griffiths, Joanna Lumley (of Absolutely Fabulous), Chris Langham as well as cricket commentators Henry Blofeld and Fred Trueman. The late Douglas Adams himself voiced the character Agrajag, a creature who has lived many lives, only to have each one ended accidentally at the hands of Arthur Dent, although Agrajag believes Arthur is deliberately murdering him each time. The storyline picks up where the previous radio series left off, as Arthur and Ford escape prehistoric Earth on a space-time eddy manifested in the form of a sofa. They arrive at Lords Cricket Ground where a group of homicidal robots who strangley resemble cricketers proceed to blow the place up. Arthur and Ford reunite with Slartibartfast and embark on a mission to save the Universe from these xenophobic murderers from the planet Krikkit. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Tertiary Phase is a hilarious adaptation of Book Three in the Hitchhiker's Guide series, and I look forward to the Quandary and Quintessential Phase radio adaptations of Books Four and Five.
