Mark Steadman, Danny Smith and Jon Bounds continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order. This episode has bad language in it.

Followup

Bastablon

The planet whose marketing executives came up with the slogan for the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and a jumping-off point to discuss Talk Like a Brummie Day.

Bath Sheets in Space

A coffee-table book on the subject of bath towels, and a chance for Danny to discuss his hatred for coffee tables.

Belgium

A revolting intergalactic swear word. We discuss what it could possibly mean.

Betelgeuse

One of the suns that forms the Shoulder of Orion, along with his sister Bellatrix. Here the team discuss displacement of characters throughout the universe.

A world of staggering beauty, and an opportunity for Jon to wax lyrical about the rolling hills England.

Bill Paterson

The Scottish actor who plays a bit part in the second radio series, and Rob McKenns the rain god.

Bill Wallace

Biscuits

Mark tasks Danny with uncovering the truth behind the biscuit story (if you’re unfamiliar, all will be explained). The story has been discussed at length on Snopes.
