Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they stick me in Gunnersbury Park Museum… Even if Marvin isn’t that thrilled, we’re delighted to welcome Marvin the Paranoid Android who appeared in the BBC’s The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy 1/

On the 18th May next year, 'Starship Titanic' is getting a new release, with a cover to match the current Hitchhiker and Dirk Gently editions. As ever, they're still using Douglas' name to sell the thing and Terry gets a 'with' credit on his own novel. waterstones.com/book/starship-…

In the February 2008 issue of Nick Magazine, they offered "Prank Mini Magazines", which you could fold and share with friends. One is a robot spoof magazine that features both the 2005 and 1981 versions of Marvin. The former is renamed "Droid Bell" a pun of Drake Bell's name.

11th December 1981 'Phillips Laservision TV Ad featuring Arthur Dent and Marvin' It's hard to know which is worse; that this was proposed and never made or that it was made but we have no video evidence! (One for @kevinjondavies next time he's in the archives!)

In The Salmon of Doubt Dirk Gently comic book series, among the many alternate universe versions of Dirk seen in issue 2, a female Dirk Gently can be seen on one of the many monitors. As @ArvD, the writer of the comic, later stated, this AU female Dirk's name is Dirketa.

The Hexagonal Phase, while being based on the Eoin Colfer written AAT, was able to rework a lot of scrapped DNA material into the phase, thanks to @DirkMaggs, with the help of @kevinjondavies! Here's a comparison video going over the reworked material! youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Douglas Adams had attempted later in his life to write a script for a possible Dirk Gently film. While the film never happened, @DirkMaggs actually found 3 pages of a draft Douglas had been working on. He decided to rework the pages into his radio adaptation of the first book.

The concept of parallel universes in H2G2 was first introduced in SLATFATF, but there was actually a scene about parallel universes in the original radio series pilot script which was cut! Here's the scene read by Simon Jones, taken from the "Don't Panic" audiobook.
