Fit The Sixteenth
Arthur is confronted by all he’s ever eaten or killed and gatecrashes the Longest Party Ever Held. Stars Simon Jones. From 2004.
Arthur Dent has been diverted from arriving at the Longest Party Ever Held to find himself in a sinister labyrinth, leading him to a subterranean Cathedral of Hate in which a fifty-foot high statue of himself is depicted causing harm to various creatures. It turns out that the organisms that he has inadvertently been killed - and/or eaten - throughout his life have all been the same person, reincarnated over-and-over again, only to be killed - over and over again - by Arthur. Its last, most desperate incarnation, one it had to fight for, and one which gives it a last chance for revenge against his tormentor, is as a four-foot fruitbat with an orthodontic condition called Agrajag. Can Arthur escape Agrajag’s clutches and get to the party?
