Synopsis

Don't panic! The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy is a unique phenomenon which started life as a radio series in 1978 and was subsequently adapted into five best-selling novels, remade as a BAFTA-winning TV series, re-recorded as a chart LP, reinvented as a computer game, dramatised for the West End stage and translated into more than 30 languages.

For the first time, the full story behind the Hitch-Hiker's Guide is told in all its bizarre detail: the Finnish radio series, the German one-man stage show, the modern jazz suite, the two-headed teddy bears... Every variant of the story, every spin-off and cash-in, is documented in context, including the feature film, which has been stuck in development hell for more than 20 years.Based on 20 years of research and extensive interviews with the cast and crew of Hitchhiker's Guide, including Douglas Adams, this book also includes details of Douglas Adams' other projects (Dirk Gently, The Meaning Of Liff and Starship Titanic) plus his early work on series such as Doctor Who and Monty Python's Flying Circus.
