Props from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy have been sold for charity - including a "life-saving" towel.
The stripy towel used by Arthur Dent, played by Martin Freeman, in the film eventually sold for £225 in the website charity auction, attracting 29 bidders.
Proceeds will go to Save The Rhino International and The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund - both supported by the late Hitchhiker's author Douglas Adams.

That is so cool. I'm glad to see that they donated the proceeds. Very neat.
The Complimenting Commenter
General consensus seems to be that the movie did NOT live up to the radio or TV series. I give it a 6/10. Some of the Magrathean stuff was nice, but a lot of it was a jumbled mess.
I liked the "Trillian wanted to go to Madagascar" idea though. No prizes for realizing what other work of Douglas Adams inspired that...
Pity the BBC did not seem to wait for the end of the auction. The towel went for GBP510.
The Incense burner for GBP206, and the autograph book for GBP204
