A six-part adaptation of Life, the Universe and Everything will be up first in the spring. This will be followed towards the end of 2004 by an eight-week serialisation combining So Long and Thanks for All the Fish with Mostly Harmless.
The news comes just weeks after confirmation that the planned movie version of the original Hitchhiker's is finally emerging from mothballs.
