ok - so my big question:
At the end of the series (or at least the dvd) they finally find out the "ultimate question" to which the answer is supposed to be 42. The question is: What do you get if you multiply six by nine?
...but 6x9 = 54 not 42
and did the tv show seriously end like that? Just abandoning all of the supporting characters - just leaving the main two on earth?

SPOILER ALERT!!!
No the series most definitely did NOT end like the movie. An enormous chunk, pivotal to the whole concept of the series in the first place, was omitted. The TV series is based on the first two of Adams' books, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
I thought the film was terrible. Truly terrible.
