Notes
- The story is divided into 'fits' / episodes, as was the Primary Phase.
- Trillian is not present for any of the Secondary Phase, but does reappear in the Tertiary Phase.
- The character Lintilla is entirely absent from any of the books.
- In the books, Milliways is built on the ruins of Frogstar World B, but in the TV series and radio plays, it's built on the ruins of Magreathea.
