I
went
to
Cambridge
University
.
I
took
a
number
of
baths
--
and
a
degree
in
English
.
I
worried
a
lot
about
girls
and
what
had
happened
to
my
bike
.
Later
I
became
a
writer
and
worked
on
a
lot
of
things
that
were
almost
incredibly
successful
but
in
fact
just
failed
to
see
the
light
of
day
.
Other
writers
will
know
what
I
mean
.
My
pet
project
was
to
write
something
that
would
combine
comedy
and
science
fiction
,
and
it
was
this
obsession
that
drove
me
into
deep
debt
and
despair
.
No
one
was
interested
,
except
finally
one
man
a
BBC
radio
producer
named
Simon
Brett
who
had
had
the
same
idea
,
comedy
and
science
fiction
.
Although
Simon
only
produced
the
first
episode
before
leaving
the
BBC
to
concentrate
on
his
own
writing
(
he
is
best
known
in
the
United
Stares
for
his
excellent
Charles
Paris
detective
novels
)
,
I
owe
him
an
immense
debt
of
gratitude
for
simply
getting
the
thing
to
happen
in
the
first
place
.
He
was
succeeded
by
the
legendary
Geoffrey
Perkins
.
In
its
original
form
the
show
was
going
to
be
rather
different
.
I
was
feeling
a
little
disgruntled
with
the
world
at
the
time
and
had
put
together
about
six
different
plots
,
each
of
which
ended
with
the
destruction
of
the
world
in
a
different
way
,
and
for
a
different
reason
.
It
was
to
be
called
"
The
Ends
of
the
Earth
"
.
While
I
was
filling
in
the
details
of
the
first
plot
--
in
which
the
Earth
was
demolished
to
make
way
for
a
new
hyperspace
express
route
--
I
realized
that
I
needed
to
have
someone
from
another
planet
around
to
tell
the
reader
what
was
going
on
,
to
give
the
story
the
context
it
needed
.
So
I
had
to
work
out
who
he
was
and
what
he
was
doing
on
the
Earth
.
I
decided
to
call
him
Ford
Prefect
.
(
This
was
a
joke
that
missed
American
audiences
entirely
,
of
course
,
since
they
had
never
heard
of
the
rather
oddly
named
little
car
,
and
many
thought
it
was
a
typing
error
for
Perfect
.
)
I
explained
in
the
text
that
the
minimal
research
my
alien
character
had
done
before
arriving
on
this
planet
had
led
him
to
think
that
this
name
would
be
"
nicely
inconspicuous
.
"
He
had
simply
mistaken
the
dominant
life
form
.
So
how
would
such
a
mistake
arise
?
I
remembered
when
I
used
to
hitchhike
through
Europe
and
would
often
find
that
the
information
or
advice
that
came
my
way
was
out
of
date
or
misleading
in
some
way
.
Most
of
it
,
of
course
,
just
came
from
stories
of
other
people
's
travel
experiences
.
At
that
point
the
title
The
Hitchhiker
's
Guide
to
the
Galaxy
suddenly
popped
back
into
my
mind
from
wherever
it
had
been
hiding
all
this
time
.
Ford
,
I
decided
,
would
be
a
researcher
who
collected
data
for
the
Guide
.
As
soon
as
I
started
to
develop
this
particular
notion
,
it
moved
inexorably
to
the
center
of
the
story
,
and
the
rest
,
as
the
creator
of
the
original
Ford
Prefect
would
say
,
is
bunk
.
The
story
grew
in
the
most
convoluted
way
,
as
many
people
will
be
surprised
to
learn
.
Writing
episodically
meant
that
when
I
finished
one
episode
I
had
no
idea
about
what
the
next
one
would
contain
.
When
,
in
the
twists
and
turns
of
the
plot
,
some
event
suddenly
seemed
to
illuminate
things
that
had
gone
before
,
I
was
as
surprised
as
anyone
else
.
I
think
that
the
BBC
's
attitude
toward
the
show
while
it
was
in
production
was
very
similar
to
that
which
Macbeth
had
toward
murdering
people
--
initial
doubts
,
followed
by
cautious
enthusiasm
and
then
greater
and
greater
alarm
at
the
sheer
scale
of
the
undertaking
and
still
no
end
in
sight
.
Reports
that
Geoffrey
and
I
and
the
sound
engineers
were
buried
in
a
subterranean
studio
for
weeks
on
end
,
taking
as
long
to
produce
a
single
sound
effect
as
other
people
took
to
produce
an
entire
series
(
and
stealing
everybody
else
's
studio
time
in
which
to
do
so
)
,
were
all
vigorously
denied
but
absolutely
true
.
