Description[edit]
A group of civilians, known as fugitives, are willingly sent on the run from a team of former police and intelligence professionals, known as 'hunters', for 28 days (25 days in Series 3). The fugitives must remain in mainland Great Britain; no fugitive in any series has left the mainland to travel to other UK islands, with the exception of Spencer Matthews and Jamie Laing in the celebrity series of the show, who travelled to the Isle of Wight.
Where possible, the hunters try to use the same methods of surveillance employed by the state, including open-source intelligence, cyber-expertise, and interrogating friends and family. When the Hunters do not legally have access to those powers, such as CCTV and ANPR, the powers are replicated for the show.[4]
Series 1[edit]
14 civilian contestants (billed as "fugitives" during the show's run) attempted to avoid a team of former police and intelligence officers for 28 days armed with replicated powers of the state. During their time on the run the fugitives are not allowed to mainland Britain, and they give permission to be tracked as if the state were tracking them using methods that the state may use, such as their phones being monitored, their houses searched, their electronic devices analysed, etc. Each fugitive was also given a bank account containing £450.
The contestants still at large on day 28 were required to meet at a secret 'extraction point', Fairoaks Airport in Surrey.
The series was filmed between 4 May 2015 and 31 May 2015.

Hunters[edit]
The team of 30 specialists includes former and serving police and intelligence personnel, an ex CIA agent and cyber intelligence experts, who use the fugitives' online footprints to research and hunt them. The team has access to replicated powers of the state, including CCTV and ANPR. Before starting, all the fugitives gave permission to be tracked in the same way as the state might track a fugitive - their cash cards and phones are monitored, their houses searched and their friends and family questioned. The hunters also use media campaigns to recruit the general public into helping them, offering financial incentives.[5] The team is split into two parts: (i) a team of operatives in the field who are in vehicles across the UK, on standby to follow orders from Hunted HQ to head to a particular location to follow up leads on fugitives' whereabouts or to question their friends and family; and (ii) a team in the Hunted HQ to gather Intelligence, which they then distribute to field teams.
Brett Lovegrove - The Chief, the leader of the hunters and former Head of Counter Terrorism Command for the City of London Police.[6]
Peter 'Bleks' Bleksley - Deputy Chief. former undercover detective at Scotland Yard.[7]
Ben Owen - Deputy Chief. ex-military sniper and member of British Military Intelligence.[8]
Cindy Storer - former CIA Analyst
Paul Vlissidis - Technical Director of NCC Group, an online security company, that provides the cyber-expertise on the show.[9]
David Toddington - Open Source Intelligence specialist and the founder and CEO of Toddington International Inc.[10][11]
Julie Clegg - open-source intelligence specialist. Formally a police detective and undercover police officer.
Series 2[edit]
The programme returned on 22 September 2016 for a six-episode second series. Filmed in May 2016,[12] ten new fugitives went on the run, leaving from a location in Birmingham for a chance to win a share of a £100,000 prize.[1] Similar to series 1, the fugitives could take with them anything they were able to carry, given a bank account (this time containing £250) and told not to leave mainland Britain. Each fugitive had with them an embedded camera operator to capture their every move. 30 minutes after they are sent off, the team of hunters were given their full details, along with aerial footage of the 'escape'.
The contestants still at large on day 28 needed to reach a secret 'extraction point' on the River Thames at the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.[13]
Kirk Bowett and Jez Scarratt[edit]
Both ex-military, Kirk and Jez knew exactly what the hunters would be able to do, and consequently how to avoid them. During their time on the run, they often used military camps, which would be inaccessible to most people, and one even managed to meet his wife without the hunters knowing. Their weakness was when it came to using technology, so when they phoned a friend to be picked up in Blackpool, the hunters tracked them to a restaurant in the town centre. After nearly being caught in the restaurant, they managed to escape; however, the hunters found out that they had escaped to another friend's house in Fleetwood after tracking her phone. They were caught on day 9 after a short pursuit on the M6.
Mikaela Skinner and Hamish Thoburn[edit]
While on the run, Mikaela and Hamish surprisingly spent much of their time doing leisure activities and stayed in hotels and ate at pubs or restaurants. Surprisingly, being loud instead of hiding seemed to work, until a barman told the hunters they were having dinner at his pub in Wiltshire. The barman told the hunters on the phone after their media campaign that he 'didn't like the look of them' and complained about the fact the were being too noisy. The Hunters came and managed to catch Mikaela and Hamish the next morning, who had no idea that they knew their whereabouts.
Lolly Jones[edit]
Having a big network of friends, Lolly stayed at friends' houses and laid low. The hunters found it difficult to track her down because of the number of people she could potentially be staying with, until she sent a coded message by post to a friend. The message told them to make comments on a board game on Amazon, which would reveal when and where to meet her. However, the hunters intercepted the letter and caught her in Theydon Bois on day 14.
Madu Alikor and Ayo Adesina[edit]
Madu and Ayo started off together, but they struggled. Ayo frequently used his phone to sent mocking tweets to the hunters and appeared to not be too worried about CCTV, whereas Madu was more cautious and tried to stay quiet. These differences led to them splitting up. Madu trekked across the UK, camping and staying at friends' houses, but was caught at a pub near Reading after boarding a train to the town from south Wales. On the other hand, Ayo asked strangers if they had a place to stay, including someone who worked at Subway in Shrewsbury. Unafraid to ask favours of random people, he received lifts and places to stay in return. There was a close call near his home in Wood Green, London, but he survived and made it to the finish line at the Isle of Sheppey.
Notable events[edit]
In episode 4, the hunters captured a decoy sent by Nick Cummings at a leisure centre in Taunton, Somerset, while he is 120 miles away in Tring, Hertfordshire. Madu and Ayo split up after an argument in the same episode.

Series 3[edit]
In March 2017, the series was renewed by Channel 4 for a third series to air in 2018.[3] On 17 October 2017 (during Celebrity Hunted), Peter Bleksley confirmed on Twitter that the series would begin airing on 4 January 2018.[16] The fugitives were announced on 31 December 2017 on Hunted's Twitter account. It was also announced that the series would run for only 25 days instead of the previous 28 days. To start their time on the run, the fugitives were driven in the back of a van and dropped off in Manchester city centre.
Carlene Crow[edit]
Carlene is recently retired and a new grandmother. She headed for Manchester Coach Station and boarded a coach to London, wearing a disguise. However, the hunters found her on CCTV, and although she convinced the coach driver to divert past Milton Keynes (where she was planning to get off), she was caught in London on the first day.
Mella Mwamba and Sandra Canrom[edit]
Mella and Sandra are friends in their 30s. They spent their time on the run hitchhiking across the country, which mainly proved successful. With a large circle of friends, they primarily stayed at friends' houses, but the hunters discovered their location after finding out about a phone that they had been using, from which they discovered that they were camping near Glasgow. When they were looking for a lift, the hunters contacted a 'ghost agent'', who posed as a normal driver, picked them up and brought them to the hunters at a petrol station.
Jamie Clark[edit]
Jamie is a former firearms officer with Dorset Police and now runs his own security firm. Using knowledge acquired in the industry, he managed to stay well hidden on his time on the run, mostly by hitching lifts to travel long-distance and going off-grid. However, the hunters got an idea of his whereabouts when they tracked down a delivery driver who gave him a lift from Ramsbottom to Dorset, where he lives. But worried about his wife Lesley, who was due to give birth during his time on the run, he met up with her secretly. However, the hunters intercepted their meeting and Jamie was caught in Badbury Rings, Dorset.
Magid Mah[edit]
Magid is a Green Party councillor and the Deputy Lord Mayor of Sheffield.[17] Surprisingly, he remained in Manchester for his first week or two on the run, with the help of a circle of friends in the city. He became bored and took a number of actions to insult the hunters, including taking pictures of himself at the square where he was released, and sending them numerous tweets as well as a letter in Somali. Later, he moved on to Sheffield and used his network of political friends to stay with them. The hunters intercepted this by identifying two of his friends as 'key associates'. Magid attempted to leave Sheffield in his friend's car, which resulted in a long chase across the Peak District, until he fled the car and was caught.
Alex Ayling and Bob Ayling[edit]
Bob is retired and his son, Alex, is a postman. After a bad start, which involved Alex phoning his mother on his own mobile phone without realising that it could be monitored, Alex and Bob grew stronger, using Bob's Freemason network to travel across the UK undetected. When the hunters closed in on them, they split up, and had a tough time apart. Alex, who has Asperger syndrome, initially struggled to ask people for lifts and places to stay, until he secretly met his mother. The hunters attempted to intercept his mother on the way to the rendez-vous, but lost track of her as she was borrowing a friend's car that was unknown to the hunters. Meeting his mother and not being caught doing so gave Alex a confidence boost and he then did well by himself. He approached strangers for lifts and accommodation and proved popular with them. Bob camped in isolated fields, at one point narrowly escaping capture as his hunters were three fields away. Alex and Bob met joyfully at the finishing line.
Dan Murphy and Joe Appleton[edit]
Dan and Joe quickly left Manchester and travelled to the Lake District. They then travelled the coast of Wales before making their way back home to Preston. Using their old gig contacts, they live-streamed a gig as the 'Brothers of Swing’ on Facebook to the hunters. However, they proved too hard to capture, escaping before cycling from Kendal to Bridlington. They managed to acquire a car and drove to Cullompton before cycling the remaining 50 miles to the extraction point. At one point, they cycled past Bob. They considered stopping to chat with him but decided against it in case Bob informed the hunters in an attempt to increase his share of the prize. They won alongside Bob and Alex. The attributed the low coverage they received across the series (compared to the other fugitives) to the fact that the hunters had no idea where they were.
Extraction[edit]
The contestants still at large on day 22 were given a USB flash drive containing details about the extraction point. To view the contents of the USB stick, Dan and Joe went to an Internet café, Bob asked to borrow a computer at a village hall, and Alex entered a high-street business premises and asked the owner if he could use their computer. The document on the USB stick instructed the fugitives to board a boat at Greenway Quay on the River Dart in Devon.
In a shock to the fugitives, the document also informed them that opening the document alerted the hunters of their location, using the computer's IP address. The fugitives successfully fled their respective locations, Alex throwing a piece of paper into a drain in front of a CCTV camera, knowing that the hunters would see. The hunters then spent a considerable amount of time emptying the drain and looking for the piece of paper, which they thought may reveal the location of the extraction point. However, it was a ruse by Alex, and the paper was worthless.
Using mobile phone triangulation, the hunters located the driver who gave Alex a lift from Sussex to Devon, and inferred that the extraction point would be on the River Dart. On the morning of the final day, the hunters were 200 metres away from finding Bob camping in a field. The hunters were unable to catch the four remaining fugitives on time and the contestants won £25,000 each.

Series 4 (TBA)[edit]
It was confirmed at the end of the third series that a fourth series had been commissioned by Channel 4, to air in late 2018.
Production[edit]
Each fugitive was filmed by a dedicated cameraperson, who followed the fugitives wherever they went. While filming, the production team was split so that the team working with the hunters was separate from the team working with the fugitives, to prevent information passing between the groups and to provide a more realistic experience. In preparing for production, over 800 Freedom of Information requests were submitted to find the location of state-owned CCTV cameras positioned throughout the British mainland. When real footage could not be obtained, Channel 4 cameras captured footage that would have been available to the state, which was stored on a central database for the hunters to access if they wished. However, they had to "officially" request the information as if it were a real fugitive hunt.[18] The hunters were overseen by an independent adjudicator, former Head of Covert Operations for the Metropolitan Police, Kevin O’Leary, whose job was to make sure that the information requested and gathered by the hunters reflected the information that would be available to them in real life and within the appropriate time frame. He was the only person who had the power to release information to the hunters and would only do so when he considered that the hunters had done sufficient detective work to justify access to the information.[19]

Critical reception[edit]
The Telegraph review complimented the series, saying the "game show element was very effective, playing with our instinctive tendency to take the side of the pursued, and skilfully edited to keep the tension high."[21] The Daily Mirror's Adam Postan described the series as "the biggest TV joke of the year", pointing out that most of the surveillance powers were replicated by methods that were unexplained.[22]

Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything (42)[edit]
The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything.
In the radio series and the first novel, a group of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings demand to learn the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything from the supercomputer, Deep Thought, specially built for this purpose. It takes Deep Thought 7½ million years to compute and check the answer, which turns out to be 42. Deep Thought points out that the answer seems meaningless because the beings who instructed it never actually knew what the Question was.[1]
When asked to produce The Ultimate Question, Deep Thought says that it cannot; however, it can help to design an even more powerful computer that can. This new computer will incorporate living beings into the "computational matrix" and will run for ten million years. It is revealed as being the planet Earth, with its pan-dimensional creators assuming the form of white lab mice to observe its running. The process is hindered after eight million years by the unexpected arrival on Earth of the Golgafrinchans and is then ruined completely, five minutes prior to completion, when the Earth is destroyed by the Vogons to make way for a new Hyperspace Bypass. In The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, this is revealed to have been a ruse: the Vogons had been hired to destroy the Earth by a consortium of psychiatrists, led by Gag Halfrunt, who feared for the loss of their careers when the ultimate question became known.[2]
Lacking a real question, the mice decide not to go through the whole thing again and settle for the out-of-thin-air suggestion "How many roads must a man walk down?" from Bob Dylan's song "Blowin' in the Wind".
At the end of the radio series, the television series and the novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Arthur Dent, having escaped the Earth's destruction, potentially has some of the computational matrix in his brain. He attempts to discover The Ultimate Question by extracting it from his brainwave patterns, as abusively[3] suggested by Ford Prefect, when a Scrabble-playing caveman spells out forty two. Arthur pulls random letters from a bag, but only gets the sentence "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"
"Six by nine. Forty two."
"That's it. That's all there is."
"I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe"[2]
Six times nine is, of course, fifty-four. The answer is deliberately wrong. The program on the "Earth computer" should have run correctly, but the unexpected arrival of the Golgafrinchans on prehistoric Earth caused input errors into the system—computing (because of the garbage in, garbage out rule) the wrong question—the question in Arthur's subconscious being invalid all along.[2]
Quoting Fit the Seventh of the radio series, on Christmas Eve, 1978:
Narrator: There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened.[4]
Some readers who were trying to find a deeper meaning in the passage soon noticed that 613 × 913 is actually 4213 (as (4 × 13) + 2 = 54, i.e. 54 in decimal is equal to 42 expressed in base 13).[4]:128 When confronted with this, the author claimed that it was a mere coincidence, stating that "I may be a sorry case, but I don't write jokes in base 13."[5]
In Life, the Universe and Everything, Prak, a man who knows all that is true, confirms that 42 is indeed The Answer, and confirms that it is impossible for both The Answer and The Question to be known in the same universe as they will cancel each other out and take the Universe with them—to be replaced by something even more bizarre (as described in the first theory) and that it may have already happened (as described in the second).[6] Though the question is never found, 42 is the table number at which Arthur and his friends sit when they arrive at Milliways at the end of the radio series. Likewise, Mostly Harmless ends when Arthur stops at a street address identified by his cry of, "There, number 42!" and enters the club Beta, owned by Stavro Mueller (Stavromula Beta). Shortly after, the Earth is destroyed in all existing incarnations.
The number 42[edit]
Douglas Adams was asked many times why he chose the number 42. Many theories were proposed, including that 42 is 101010 in binary code, that light refracts through a water surface by 42 degrees to create a rainbow, that light requires 10−42 seconds to cross the diameter of a proton.[7] Adams rejected them all. On 3 November 1993, he gave this answer[8] on alt.fan.douglas-adams:
The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do' I typed it out. End of story.
Adams described his choice as 'a completely ordinary number, a number not just divisible by two but also six and seven. In fact it's the sort of number that you could without any fear introduce to your parents.'[4]
While 42 was a number with no hidden meaning, Adams explained in more detail in an interview with Iain Johnstone of BBC Radio 4 (recorded in 1998 though never broadcast)[9] to celebrate the first radio broadcast's 20th anniversary. Having decided it should be a number, he tried to think what an "ordinary number" should be. He ruled out non-integers, then he remembered having worked as a "prop-borrower" for John Cleese on his Video Arts training videos. Cleese needed a funny number for the punchline to a sketch involving a bank teller (himself) and a customer (Tim Brooke-Taylor). Adams believed that the number that Cleese came up with was 42 and he decided to use it.[10]
Adams had also written a sketch for The Burkiss Way called "42 Logical Positivism Avenue", broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 12 January 1977[11] – 14 months before the Hitchhiker's Guide first broadcast "42" in Fit the Fourth, 29 March 1978.[4]

In January 2000, in response to a panelist's "Where does the number 42 come from?" on the radio show "Book Club", Adams explained that he was "on his way to work one morning, whilst still writing the scene, and was thinking about what the actual answer should be. He eventually decided that it should be something that made no sense whatsoever – a number, and a mundane one at that. And that is how he arrived at the number 42, completely at random."
Stephen Fry, a friend of Adams, claims that Adams told him "exactly why 42", and that the reason is "fascinating, extraordinary and, when you think hard about it, completely obvious."[12] However, Fry says that he has vowed not to tell anyone the secret, and that it must go with him to the grave. John Lloyd, Adams' collaborator on The Meaning of Liff and two Hitchhiker's fits, said that Adams has called 42 "the funniest of the two-digit numbers."[13]
The number 42 appears frequently in the work of Lewis Carroll, and some critics have suggested that this was an influence. They note, in particular, that Alice's attempt at her times tables (chapter two of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) breaks down at 4 x 13 answered in base 42,[14][15] which virtually reverses the failure of 'the Question' ("What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"), in that the latter would equal "42" if calculated in base 13. They find further evidence of Carroll's influence in the fact that Adams entitled the episodes of the original radio series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "fits", the word Carroll used to name the chapters of The Hunting of the Snark.
There is the persistent tale that 42 is Adams' tribute to the indefatigable paperback book, and is the average number of lines on an average page of an average paperback.[16] Another common guess is that 42 refers to the number of laws in cricket, a recurring theme of the books.[17]
The number 42 also happens to be the ASCII code for the asterisk '*' which is a wildcard character indicating any number of characters or even an empty string in programming. This could be interpreted as the answer 'anything you want it to be'. [18]
42 Puzzle[edit]
The 42 puzzle. The shape of the islands in the background spells out 42, and there are 42 coloured balls
The 42 Puzzle is a game devised by Douglas Adams in 1994 for the United States series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books. The puzzle is an illustration consisting of 42 multi-coloured balls, in 7 columns and 6 rows. Douglas Adams has said,
Everybody was looking for hidden meanings and puzzles and significances in what I had written (like 'is it significant that 6×9 = 42 in base 13?' As if.) So I thought that just for a change I would actually construct a puzzle and see how many people solved it. Of course, nobody paid it any attention. I think that's terribly significant.[19]
In the puzzle the question is unknown, but the answer is already known to be 42. This is similar to the book where the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" is known but not the question. The puzzle first appeared in The Illustrated Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was later incorporated into the covers of all five reprinted "Hitchhiker's" novels in the United States.
Adams has described the puzzle as depicting the number 42 in ten different ways. Six possible questions are:[20]
(1) How many spheres are in the diagram? (six rows of seven is 42) (2) What position in the grid does the Earth occupy? (42)
(3) The barcode on one of the spheres is the number 42 as an Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode
(4) Considering red-hued spheres (red, purple, orange, black) as a '1' and those without as a '0', what number does each line represent in decimal form? (In binary, each line reads '0101010', or '42' in decimal form.) (5) What number do the blue-tinted spheres (blue, green, purple, black) spell out? (Similar to a colour blindness test.) (42) (6) What number is represented by Roman numerals spelled out by the yellow-tinted spheres (yellow, orange, green, black) in the first three rows? (XLII = 42)
On the Internet and in software[edit]
The number 42 and the phrase, "Life, the universe, and everything" have attained cult status on the Internet. "Life, the universe, and everything" is a common name for the off-topic section of an Internet forum and the phrase is invoked in similar ways to mean "anything at all". Many chatbots, when asked about the meaning of life, will answer "42". Several online calculators are also programmed with the Question. Google Calculator will give the result to the answer to life the universe and everything as 42, as will Wolfram's Computational Knowledge Engine.[21] Similarly, DuckDuckGo also gives the result of the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything as 42.[22] In the online community Second Life, there is a section on a sim called "42nd Life." It is devoted to this concept in the book series, and several attempts at recreating Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, were made.
In OpenOffice.org software (prior to version 3.4) if =ANTWORT("Das Leben, das Universum und der ganze Rest") (German for =ANSWER("life, the universe and everything")) is typed into any cell of a spreadsheet, the result is 42.[23]
ISO/IEC 14519-2001/ IEEE Std 1003.5-1999, IEEE Standard for Information Technology – POSIX(R) Ada Language Interfaces – Part 1: Binding for System Application Program Interface (API) , uses the number 42 as the required return value from a process that terminates due to an unhandled exception. The Rationale says "the choice of the value 42 is arbitrary" and cites the Adams book as the source of the value.
The random seed chosen to procedurally create the whole universe of the online multi-player computer game EVE Online was chosen as 42 by its lead game designer in 2002.[24]
In the computer game Gothic "42" is a code that deactivates all activated cheats. After typing "42" in a right place, text "What was the question?" appears.
The OpenSUSE team decided the next version will be based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and named "Leap 42". The number 42 was chosen as a reference to the answer to life, the universe and everything.[25]
Cultural references[edit]
The Allen Telescope Array, a radio telescope used by SETI, has 42 dishes in homage to the Answer.[26]
In the American TV show Lost, 42 is the last of the mysterious numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42. In an interview with Lostpedia, producer David Fury confirmed this was a reference to Hitchhiker's.[27]
The British TV show The Kumars at No. 42 is so named because show creator Sanjeev Bhaskar is a Hitchhiker's fan.[28]
The band Coldplay's album Viva la Vida includes a song called "42". When asked by Q magazine if the song's title was Hitchhiker's-related, Chris Martin said, "It is and it isn't."[29]
The band Level 42 chose its name in reference to the book.[30]
The episode "42" of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who was named in reference to the Answer. Writer Chris Chibnall acknowledged that "it's a playful title".[31]
Ken Jennings, defeated along with Brad Rutter in a Jeopardy! match against IBM's Watson, writes that Watson's avatar which appeared on-screen for those games showed 42 "threads of thought," shown as colorful lines spinning around Watson's logo, and that the number was chosen in reference to this meme.[32]
The Hitchhiker knitting pattern, designed by Martina Behm, is a scarf with 42 teeth.[33]
In The Flash, Season 4, Episode 1, Cisco in trying to decipher what Barry is writing explicitly says that what Barry says might solve answer to the Life, the Universe and Everything, which Caitlin suggests is 42. [34]
In The X-Files, Fox Mulder lives in apartment 42. This has been acknowledged by the show's creator, Chris Carter, as a reference to Hitchhikers[35]
Don't Panic[edit]
Towels in Innsbruck with the words "DON'T PANIC" on Towel Day
In the series, Don't Panic is a phrase on the cover of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.[1] The novel explains that this was partly because the device "looked insanely complicated" to operate, and partly to keep intergalactic travellers from panicking.[36] "It is said that despite its many glaring (and occasionally fatal) inaccuracies, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy itself has outsold the Encyclopedia Galactica because it is slightly cheaper, and because it has the words 'DON'T PANIC' in large, friendly letters on the cover."[1]
Arthur C. Clarke said Douglas Adams' use of "don't panic" was perhaps the best advice that could be given to humanity.[37]
Knowing where one's towel is[edit]
Somebody who can stay in control of virtually any situation is somebody who is said to know where his or her towel is. The logic behind this statement is presented in chapter 3 of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy thus:
... a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
Adams got the idea for this phrase when he went travelling and found that his beach towel kept disappearing. In 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -The Radio Scripts', his friends describe how he would always "mislay" his towel. On Towel Day, fans commemorate Adams by carrying towels with them.
Mostly Harmless[edit]
The only entry about Earth in the Guide used to be "Harmless", but Ford Prefect managed to change it a little before getting stuck on Earth. "Mostly Harmless" provoked a very upset reaction from Arthur when heard. (Those two words are not what Ford submitted as a result of his research—merely all that was left after his editors were done with it.) It is the title of the fifth book in the Hitchhiker series. Its popularity is such that it has become the definition of Earth in many standard works of sci-fi reference, like The Star Trek Encyclopedia. Additionally, "Harmless" and "Mostly Harmless" both feature as ranks in the computer game Elite. Also, in World of Warcraft, there is a rifle that fires (mostly) harmless pellets.[38] In the MMORPG RuneScape, there is an island called Mos Le Harmless (Mostly Harmless). Low-scoring players in the multiplayer version of the game Perfect Dark and GoldenEye 007 are awarded with the designation "mostly harmless". In the 2008 edition of the board game Cosmic Encounter, the Human race is given the attribute "Mostly Harmless". In the game Kerbal space program, there is an atomic rocket motor with the description "mostly harmless".
Not entirely unlike[edit]
In the novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Arthur Dent tries to get a Nutrimatic drinks dispenser to produce a cup of tea. Instead, it invariably produces a concoction (which most people found unpleasant) that is "almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea". One of the primary goals of the player, as Arthur Dent, in the computer game The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is to thwart the machine and find some decent tea, a mission that the player is constantly reminded of by the inventory item "no tea". According to the Jargon File, the briefer "not entirely unlike" has entered hacker jargon.[39]
Share and Enjoy[edit]
"Share and Enjoy" is the slogan of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Complaints Division. In the radio version, this phrase had its own song (sung in Fit the Ninth of the radio series), which was sung by a choir of robots during "special occasions". The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation tends to produce inherently faulty goods, which renders the statement ironic since few people would want to "Share and Enjoy" something that was defective. Among the design flaws is the choir of robots that perform this song: they sing a tritone out of tune with the accompaniment. The Guide relates that the words "Share and Enjoy" were displayed in illuminated letters three miles high near the Sirius Cybernetics Complaints Division, until their weight caused them to collapse through the underground offices of many young executives. The upper half of the sign that now protrudes translates in the local tongue as "Go stick your head in a pig", and is lit up only for special celebrations.
The episode Fit the Twentieth of the radio series features a personal computer OS booting sound (à la The Microsoft Sound) set to the tune of "Share and Enjoy". Furthermore, Fit the Twenty-First of the radio series, the last episode in the adaptation of the novel So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, features a polyphonic ringtone version of the tune. The "Share and Enjoy" tune also is used in the TV series as the backing for a Sirius Cybernetics Corporation robot commercial (slogan: "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!").
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish[edit]
After mice, the second most intelligent species on Earth were the dolphins.
The dolphins had long known of the impending demolition of Earth and had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger...The last ever dolphins message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double backward somersault through a hoop whilst whistling "The Star-Spangled Banner," but in fact the message was this: "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish."
—  Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The line was also the title of the fourth book in the trilogy, and appears in that book as a message inscribed on crystal bowls left as parting gifts from the dolphins to the human race. Its popularity was such that it was the title of the opening song for the 2005 movie The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The phrase was spoofed for the NOFX album So Long, and Thanks for All the Shoes.[citation needed]
The phrase was also spoofed for the All Time Low track "So Long, and Thanks for All the Booze", from the appropriately-titled album Don't Panic.[citation needed]
When the air traffic control unit at Perth Airport (ICAO code: EGPT) in Scotland was closed following a downturn in commercial pilot training, for which the airport was best known, the final NOTAM (notice to airmen) issued by the unit via the AFTN stated, "This is Perth ATC signing off. So long and thanks for all the fish."[citation needed]
