Some might call it strange, odd or weird. Others may describe it as just plain "far out." Either way it's a bit different. It's... The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, a funny science fiction fantasy filled with intelligent  satire, sharp wit, and comedic dialogue. The series follows the adventures of hapless Englishman Arthur Dent and and his friend Ford Prefect an alien who writes for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy a pan-galactic encyclopedia and travel guide, Zaphod Beeblebox (Ford's semi-cousin and Galactic President), a depressed robot named Marvin and Trillian (the only other human to survive Earth's destruction). The Hitchhiker's Guide, different as it may be, is  rich in comedic detail and thought-provoking situations. 
From the BBC:
From the original Primary and  Secondary Phases, through to the more recent Tertiary, Quandary and  Quintessential Phases, these are the adventures of Arthur Dent, Ford  Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox and their assorted human, robotic and alien  companions.   
These full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramas star Simon  Jones, Peter Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Mark Wing-Davey, Stephen Moore  and Susan Sheridan, with a stellar guest cast including John le  Mesurier, Joanna Lumley, Christian Slater, Jackie Mason, Sandra  Dickinson, Rula Lenska, Griff Rhys Jones and Jonathan Pryce.
