The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981)

Episode Overview

The crew experiences a stroke of luck—the ship's transporter is operational, but it requires manual control. Consequently, Marvin is urged to step forward and make the ultimate sacrifice for the group's escape. Meanwhile, Arthur and Ford become separated from Zaphod and Trillian, discovering they are aboard a spaceship on a collision course with a planet's prehistoric era that feels oddly recognizable. If this truly is Earth, then everything they understand about history is about to shift, as well as the Ultimate Question concerning Life, the Universe, and Everything.
