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.

What's in it? Every version of Hitch-Hiker's Guide is described and compared: the contradictory storylines are explained, the background to the many adaptations is chronicled, the success of the different versions is analysed. Based on twenty years of research and extensive interviews with the cast and crew of Hitch-Hiker's Guide, including Douglas Adams.Also includes details of Douglas Adams' other projects - including 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.
