Maybe a funny inside joke, but hardly encyclopedic. -- Zoe
"A radio adaptation of Life, the Universe and Everything is currently in production, starring most of the cast of the original Hitchhiker's radio series."
Currently as in what time ?
What, No instances of "Earth --- entry missing."
The series' proper title is "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy". This should be the citation of the series as a whole. It was undoubtedly meant as a joke, and while perhaps syntactically incorrect, remains the true title of the series. The either/or argument commented in the edits is false.
If I remember correctly (I don't have a video for it) but the second TV series of Hitch Hiker's was not commissioned because the BBC assumed they could not afford Douglas Adams (after his writing success) was mentioned during The Big Read Briantist 22:51, 30 November 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Briantist ( talk • contribs) 16:51, 30 November 2006.
It is noted in the article under the section "censorship" that "It should further be noted that translations of this novel [...] derive from the UK edition [...] and thus omit the description of 'Belgium.' " That is unnecesseraly true; The Hebrew translation, for example, is based on the censored version - in contrary to what the article states (and thus the Hebrew translation lists "Belgium" as the most offensive word in the universe). The section should be changed/deleted. horizon ( talk) 17:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Think 'censorship' is the wrong word here. It's not like a single word was changed or omitted; additional dialogue and backstory were added in the U.S. version. "U.S. edit" would probably be more accurate.

A section on the publication history of this book would seem like a valuable addition if anyone feels competent to write it. Unusually, the first edition of "Life..." was the paperback. The subsequent Arthur Barker first hardback edition is for some reason the scarcest of the Hitchhiker books (odd for the third in a series), and a very collectable first edition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.108.180.242 ( talk) 19:51, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
