- While at Cambridge Revue Club Footlights, he met Douglas Adams, who later cast him as the utterly ordinary Earthman Arthur Dent in his cult classic The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981), both in the original 1978 radio series and the 1981 TV mini-series. The two were lifelong friends after college and Jones later spoke at Adams's funeral in May, 2001.
- Having worked together before, Douglas Adams wrote the role of Arthur Dent specifically with Jones in mind.
- Had a small role in the film adaptation of H2G2 : Le Guide du voyageur galactique (2005) as the "Ghostly Image" on the planet Magrathea.
- He is a first cousin, once removed, of the current James Bond, Daniel Craig.
- Returned for the new "Quintessential Phase" episodes of "The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy" BBC Radio 4 radio series, adapted from the fifth and final book of the late Douglas Adams' "Hitch Hiker's Trilogy", "Mostly Harmless".
