Unlike the Tertiary Phase, the Quandary Phase is a far more honed, focused work that leaps forward narratively to a more Galaxy weary Arthur, with a stronger return to Adams’ wry existentialism and quest to understand exactly why our existence is the way it is and what we should do with it. Funny as ever, but also romantic and sweet. A wonderful return to form.

Poorly written. Douglas Adams spent so long making the original radio series 1-2 truly work on radio. These post-series 2 continuations contain the worst writing eg. Characters saying contrived dialogue to explain what is happening visually. It’s like the most amateurish way of writing for radio and is such a shame. Since these are adaptations of novels there were serious narrative problems with scenes that don’t work on radio. They needed to change more of the events to adapt them properly. The actor that replaces Peter Jones as the book sounds way too perky too. Such a shame.

Possibly my favorite phase, slightly more down to Earth than other installments, but I absolutely adore Fenchurch.

This is more like it. Modeled from So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, this installment was much tighter than the previous radio play entry. I enjoyed meeting Rob McKenna, the Rain God, and Fenchurch, the bright young woman who captured Arthur's heart. This felt shorter, felt punchier, and was thoroughly enjoyable. The bit with Marvin was especially bittersweet (I'd thought this in the book as well). Ford was... Ford, and this is acceptable.

What's this? Stephen Fry? Christian Slater? That was unexpected!

Recommended listen. Share and enjoy!

Still as crazy as ever.

This one must have been written a lot more recently than the first ones. They talk about "cell phones" a lot. (Why not "mobile phones," though? I thought British people called them "mobiles.")

I missed Zaphod.

I like this one. The audio I listened to is better - it tells this part of the story in a much noisier way - not as distracting as the others.

Not as funny as the other Hitchhiker's plays but still funnier than almost anything else ... and it features the tragic death of the greatest manic/depressive robot in existence ...

finally! some lead to go on

Well... I made it through all of the radio plays. Didn't enjoy them quite as much as I thought I would. The performances were excellent, but... I don't know, the stories just didn't grab me.

If I had to sum up this show in one phrase, it would be too short.
It not only keeps fairly close to the original story, it maintains the magic of the original series.  Those voice actors who regrettably could not be involved in the newer episodes have seen their roles handled with respect and done well.
I honestly have nothing at all bad to say.

It seems to be as good as the original series.
