hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy restaurant

Meanwhile, Zaphod Beeblebrox, the charming but clueless figurehead president of the galaxy, steals a ship called the Heart of Gold. He was a researcher for the famed Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a massive electronic compendium of almost everything. Arthur learns that Ford had been stranded on the earth for fifteen years. The earth is destroyed, and Ford and Arthur hitchhike onto one of the yellow ships.

As the ships close in on the Earth, the Vogons announce that the earth will be destroyed in order to make space for a hyperspatial express route, and they are sorry for the inconvenience. Ford informs Arthur that he will need a towel, a necessary tool for someone traveling through space. Several large yellow ships controlled by the grotesque Vogons are seen floating through space, coming straight towards earth. Ford continues to insist that the end of the world is approaching fast. The odd pair makes fools of themselves in the pub, which is typical of them due to their awkward tendencies. Ford then informs Arthur that the end of the world is mere minutes away.

Arthur eventually agrees and Ford convinces Prosser not to knock down the house while they are gone. Prosser tells him that if he had a problem with it, he could have protested at the appropriate time, and that the plans were 'easily accessible' in a dark, locked cellar.Īrthur's friend Ford Prefect, who is, in fact, an alien from Betelgeuse (which Arthur does not yet know), comes up to his house and demands that he go to a pub with him immediately. Prosser comes to Arthur's house informing him that it will be demolished to form a bypass. Arthur Dent, a 30-year-old Englishman, lives in an unexceptional house.
