Fit the Seventh

Arthur and Ford are marooned on Orfintlewoodle (Earth). Zaphod also escapes from the stolen spaceship and makes his way to Ursa Minor Beta, to the offices of the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. Marvin appears and they are once more in peril when Frogstar fighters begin to bomb the offices. Later the building is removed from the planet and taken to the Frogstar itself.  Cast:  The Book: Peter Jones Arthur Dent: Simon Jones Ford Prefect/Frogstar Robot/Air Traffic Controller: Geoffrey McGivern Zaphod Beeblebrox: Mark Wing-Davey Marvin the Paranoid Android and Gag Halfrunt: Stephen Moore Arcturan Number One: Bill Paterson Arcturan Captain/Radio Voice/Receptionist/Lift: David Tate Roosta: Alan Ford Announcer (uncredited): John Marsh  What became "Fit the Seventh" actually started as a "Christmas Special" episode, and an early draft included a reference to the holiday, though the episode, as transmitted, does not. Five further episodes, to complete the second series (later retitled "The Secondary Phase") were commissioned in May 1979. These final five episodes (the last on radio until 2004) were 'stripped,' or broadcast on each of five days in a single week in January 1980.
