While trapped on prehistoric Earth, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect see Slartibartfast's signature deep inside a glacier in ancient Norway.

His friend Ford Prefect, a contributor to the Guide, assures him that the next edition will contain the article on Earth that Ford has spent the last 15 years researching — somewhat cut due to space restrictions, but still an improvement.

Meanwhile, Ford Prefect has returned to the offices of the Hitchhikers ' Guide, and is annoyed to find out the original publishing company, Megadodo Publications, has been taken over by InfiniDim Enterprises.

Concurrent to these events, Ford Prefect discovers that during an update of the " Hitchhiker's Guide ", his previous entry for Earth, " Mostly harmless ", has been replaced with the volumes of text he wrote during his research.

Ford Prefect ( also called Ix ) is a fictional character in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by the British author Douglas Adams.

Although Ford had taken great care to blend into Earth society, he had " skimped a bit on his preparatory research ," and thought that the name " Ford Prefect " would be " nicely inconspicuous.

" The Ford Prefect was, in fact, a British car manufactured from 1938 to 1961.

This was expanded on somewhat in the film version, where Ford is almost run over while attempting to greet a blue Ford Prefect.

The graphics in the TV series provide a similar explanation by listing director John Ford, Arthur Ford, news reader Anna Ford, carmaker Henry Ford, the Ford Anglia, the Ford Consul and finally Ford Prefect.

" Nowadays, the joke is largely lost on younger audiences in Britain as well, since the Ford Prefect is now a rare sight on British roads.

" While not explained in the book, a footnote of the original radio scripts explains that " just before arriving ( on Earth ) he registered his new name officially at the Galactic Nomenclaturoid Office, where they had the technology to unpick his old name from the fabric of space / time and thread the new one in its place, so that to all intents and purposes his name had always been and would always be Ford Prefect.
