The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a science fiction comedy series created by Douglas Adams ( 1952– 2001) that debuted as a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1978. Since then it has been adapted to other formats, slowly becoming a multi-media phenomenon over a span of several years. Adaptations have included stage shows; a series of five books first published between 1979 and 1992, (the first of which was titled The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy); a 1981 TV series; a 1984 computer game; and three series of three-part comic book adaptations of the first three novels, published by DC Comics between 1993 and 1996. There have also been a series of towels that are considered by some to be canonical, as they include text from the first novel . A Hollywood-funded film version, produced and filmed in the UK, was released in April 2005, and adaptations of the last three books to radio were broadcast from 2004 to 2005. Many of these adaptations, including the novels, the TV series, the computer game, and the earliest drafts of the Hollywood film's screenplay, were all done by Adams himself, and some of the stage shows debuted new material written by Adams. ...more on Wikipedia about "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

The third 6-part radio series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Tertiary Phase, based on Life, the Universe and Everything, ran on BBC Radio 4 from Tuesday September 21 to October 26 2004, with repeats on the following Thursdays. (Arthur Dent, of course, could never get the hang of Thursdays.) Episodes were subtitled Fits the Thirteenth through Eighteenth. The third novel was adapted by Dirk Maggs following instructions left by Adams. Most of the original radio series cast returned, with the exception of three, due to their passing. Richard Vernon (died 1997) as Slartibartfast, replaced by Richard Griffiths, Peter Jones (died 2000), replaced by his friend William Franklyn; some brief excerpts from Jones's original narration were also used in the first episode, cleverly disguised as the Book's speech-generation system changing as part of updates to the Guide from the publisher. A third absent cast member was David Tate (died 1996), who played a multitude of minor roles in the two original radio series including Eddie, the Heart of Gold's computer. And Bill Wallis, who played the roles of Mr Prosser and Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz in the original series, was not available. Toby Longworth took the role of Jeltz in the new series. On the other hand, John Marsh, who was the original series' continuity announcer returned to announce the credits. There was even a cameo role by Adams himself as Agrajag, edited from his BBC audiobook recording of the novel. ...more on Wikipedia about "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary to Quintessential Phases"
