But… Yes, I am Arthur Dent

#5 explication - Arthur and the other characters died in the destruction of Earth at the end of the novel Mostly Harmless. Then Douglas Adams had a change of heart, deciding that ending was too bleak and the result of having a bad year. In the subsequent BBC radio adaptation, the ending was changed and a Babelfish teleported the main characters to safety just before Earth’s destruction. (Adams had already passed away by then)

Congratulations, Prof!
