There was the original radio series on the BBC in the late 1970s, followed by a BBC television mini-series in 1980, and then the theatrical movie in 2005.
I recall Adam's last Hitchhiker series book,
Mostly Harmless was rather depressing in it's tone. One of the rules of fiction writing is 'Never be afraid to kill off a main character'. Adams went that one better and killed off virtually all of them.
He described
Mostly Harmless in an interview as "a very bleak book" and said he "would love to finish Hitchhiker on a slightly more upbeat note".
