And it should be of the first three books, not just the first book.

The BBC series does up to them being on >!prehistoric hairdresser and middle management earth!< Iirc

Which I'm pretty sure is the third book. But I haven't read it in a loooooong time.

Wha… really? I’ve seen the BBC HHGTTG, but I’ve never even heard they did the sequels!

Book 2 was Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and book 3 was Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Two books followed… So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish and Mostly Harmless constituted Books 4 & 5, but were detached from the main characters and plot.

Ah, ok. The [Show](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(TV_series) does the first two books. Not the third.

Because I remember them going to the restaurant and then meeting the hairdressers and telephone sanitizers and the mess they get the main characters into, but forgot about the Krikket/wikket people.
