Another recommendation: Stephen Fry. He's also a famous British comedian. He has narrated all of the Harry Potter books and the first Hitch Hiker's Guide. Some of the best audiobook narration I've encountered.

(The second HHGTG is narrated by Martin Freeman, I think. It was part of the 2005 HHGTG movie release. )

HHGTG by Stephen Fry... that sounds like a great combination, will have to check it out.

In terms of narration, my favorite audio book is The Odyssey, read by Ian McKellen.

Stephen Fry's character voices are almost all better than the movie cast.

Heads up: If you buy the US version you're getting Jim Dale. A totally different experience.
