II was created by the Vogons to complete the destruction of the Earth in every possible dimension, using reverse temporal engineering to bring Arthur, Ford, Trillian, and Random together on Earth for its destruction by the Vogons.

Some drafts of the movie's screenplay, and Robbie Stamp's " making of " book covering the movie, state that Trillian was to be revealed as half-human, an acknowledged divergence from Douglas Adams ' original storyline.

An interview with actress Zooey Deschanel, included on the DVD version, has her mention that Trillian is half-human, suggesting the interview was recorded prior to the change of plan.

The " Quintessential Phase " of the radio series features Sandra Dickinson in the role of the alternate version of Tricia McMillan as a " blonder and more American " Trillian – the radio series indicates that the character is otherwise identical to the first Trillian and was born in the United Kingdom.

" She has consistently not been portrayed as such in the television and film adaptions, although the film adaptation Trillian is closer to her appearance in the books than it was in the television series.

The first version of Trillian was released on July 1, 2000.

On September 10, 2002, a commercial version, Trillian Pro, was added to the company's lineup.

* Trillian in the television version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxySandra Dickinson said in an interview in The Making of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy that when she heard that she had been suggested for the role of Trillian, she thought it completely mad – Sandra Dickinson was blond and fair-skinned, and in the Hitch Hiker book, Trillian is described as dark and looking " slightly Arabic ".

In June and July 2012 The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Radio Show embarked on a live tour of the UK, directed by Dirk Maggs and starring the original radio cast recreating their roles: Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford Prefect, Susan Sheridan as Trillian, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, the voice of Stephen Moore as Marvin The Paranoid Android ( Moore being unavailable to perform in person, as he was touring with Cameron Mackintosh's production of Oliver!

Episode 3 was originally scripted to have a " pre-credits sequence " where Trillian announces their arrival at " the most improbable planet that ever existed " ( i. e. Magrathea ) to Zaphod.

Trillian is explaining that Krikkit's history is a sequence of contrived coincidences that was set up in order to provoke a race into wanting to destroy the universe.

Trillian explains that the crash was known about, but nobody has been to able to rescue him for insurance reasons.

Trillian explains they must leave the planet immediately, as the Grebulons ( a missing spaceship from the war she was sent to cover ) are about to destroy the planet, once again.

The third ending, which was used in the broadcast version, sees Arthur, Ford, Random, Zaphod and a merged Trillian in the Restaurant at the End of the Universe ( at Table 42 ).

The system was run by Falkor and the software and hardware was designed and produced by him as well as his CoSysOps Sloth, Creidiki, Troubadour and Trillian.

Finnegan and Joey then find Trillian, who being locked in the storeroom was unaware of what happened.

Claire Forlani was originally cast as Trillian St. James, but dropped out after just three days, due to creative differences with Sommers, and Famke Janssen was subsequently cast.

Arthur begins to suspect that this is not the Earth he and Ford knew — there is a " Tricia McMillan " on the news, with an American accent and blonde hair ( voiced by Sandra Dickinson, who played Trillian in the TV series ), but otherwise identical to the Trillian who left his earth with Zaphod Beeblebrox.

This alternate McMillan is played by Sandra Dickinson, who played Trillian in the television series.

One day, Trillian arrives on Lamuella, and presents Arthur with Random Dent, a teenage girl she claims is his daughter, conceived by Trillian via artificial insemination using the only human sperm samples available, those given by Arthur to pay for his space travels.

As the menial labourer on the Heart of Gold spaceship, he grew immensely resentful of the insistence of his new masters ( Zaphod Beeblebrox and Trillian ; later also Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent ) that he open doors, check airlocks and pick up pieces of paper.

Trillian is initially attracted to Arthur when she meets him on Earth, but she's disappointed by his apparent lack of spontaneity.

The duo lived on donations from the freeware version of Trillian while building their company.

They split into two groups — Trillian, Zaphod and Ford explore a tunnel, whilst Arthur and Marvin remain on the surface.

Trillian, Zaphod and Ford's thread ends on a cliff-hanger, with them seeing something alarming at the end of the corridor.

Zaphod and Trillian are on the Heart of Gold, without Marvin.

Arthur, Ford, Trillian and Slartibartfast finally land on Krikkit, where they notice that there are hundreds of floating buildings and warships above the surface.

Ford, Arthur and Slartibartfast are on the surface of Krikkit, prisoners of the Krikkit-men, and waiting for Trillian to get back, or for Zaphod to do something.

" Arthur and Ford find Random, along with Tricia and Trillian ( who had arrived in the meantime on a third spaceship ).

In the novels and radio series, Trillian does not have a romantic relationship with Arthur ( although when Arthur starts seeing Fenchurch, Ford asks him what happened to Trillian ).

Her voice acting roles include Noddy in the Cosgrove Hall / BBC Television series Noddy's Toyland Adventures, Trillian in the radio series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Princess Eilonwy in the animated film The Black Cauldron.

The final ending here consists of the Babel fish carried by Arthur, Trillian, Ford & Random having a sense for self preservation, i. e. at the last minute they teleport the person they are inhabiting, and anyone nearby ( namely Tricia McMillan ), to safety.

During their travels, Trillian discovers that Zaphod may be the more superficially exciting choice, but Arthur is the man who truly cares about her, Arthur commenting when he is about to have his head cut open by the mice that his feelings for Trillian are the only thing that he ever had questions about where the answer made him happy.

Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian, and Zaphod Beeblebrox have just left the planet Magrathea when they are attacked by a Vogon ship.

Zaphod and Trillian are returned to the Heart of Gold, which is commandeered by Zarniwoop to complete his mission, to discover who really rules the Universe.

This time presumably killing Arthur, Ford, Trillian, and Arthur's daughter, Random-a fate dodged by the characters in the Quintessential Phase.

After being rescued from open space by the Heart of Gold and figuring out how to activate the Infinite Improbability Drive, the player is hurled through space and time, assuming the roles of Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Trillian at various intervals.

In the sixth book of the series, character Trillian has had so many body parts and functions replaced by technology that she doubts she is still the same person, referring to her present self as New Trillian and the past as Old Trillian.

Zaphod, accompanied by Trillian and the chronically depressed robot Marvin, is searching for the legendary planet of Magrathea, which is rumoured to have manufactured luxury planets.
