Hitchhiker's Trilogy

The Hitchhiker's Trilogy isn't actually a trilogy. The word trilogy was used when there were three books, and although Douglas Adams, the author, continued to write in the series, the word was (and is) still used to humorous effect. There are now five books in the "trilogy" by Douglas Adams and a sixth book by Eoin Colfer (in collaboration with Adam's widow). This category is about the books, not the movie, radio program, or extended fandom or merchandise.

Who is they and how do you think Ford would have wanted it in the following line from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 'Ford knew that they were there. This wasn't the way that he had wanted it.'?

1. I think 'they' are the Vogon Constructor Fleet, who are coming to demolish the Earth to make way for a Hyperspatial Express Route. 2. Ford would rather not have been stranded on the Earth in the first place, and he probably wouldn't want any planet to be destroyed while he was on it. Finally, I think it could have something to do with the fact that he has been waiting for a ship to appear for years so he could hitch a lift, and when one finally comes it is the Vogons, who despise hitch-hikers and generally just aren't very nice.
