million copies in his lifetime and generated a television series,
several stage plays, comics, a computer game, and in 2005 a feature
film. Adams's contribution to UK radio is commemorated in The Radio
Academy's Hall of Fame.
Adams also wrote Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (1987) and

of Liff (1983), The Deeper Meaning of Liff (1990), Last Chance to

A posthumous collection of his work, including an unfinished novel,
was published as The Salmon of Doubt in 2002. Martin Freeman is an
