* In the Quintessential Stage of ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio series)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'', Van Harl, the Vogon who's taken over the Guide in ''Mostly Harmless'', is combined with Zarniwoop, who was the editor-in-chief in the Secondary Phase and ''The Restaurant at the End of the Universe''.

** Same deal with the vodyanoi, or "aquatic umber hulk". Later editions confirmed this was simply a regular umber hulk that lived underwater.
