The
budget
of
the
series
escalated
to
the
point
that
it
could
have
practically
paid
for
a
few
seconds
of
Dallas
.
If
the
show
had
n't
worked
...
22
The
first
episode
went
out
on
BBC
Radio
4
at
10:30
P.M.
on
Wednesday
,
March
8
,
1978
,
in
a
huge
blaze
of
no
publicity
at
all
.
Bats
heard
it
.
The
odd
dog
barked
.
23
After
a
couple
of
weeks
a
letter
or
two
trickled
in
.
So
--
someone
out
there
had
listened
.
People
I
talked
to
seemed
to
like
Marvin
the
Paranoid
Android
,
whom
I
had
written
in
as
a
one-scene
joke
and
had
only
developed
further
at
Geoffrey
's
insistence
.

Then
some
publishers
became
interested
,
and
I
was
commissioned
by
Pan
Books
in
England
to
write
up
the
series
in
book
form
.
25
After
a
lot
of
procrastination
and
hiding
and
inventing
excuses
and
having
baths
,
I
managed
to
get
about
two-thirds
of
it
done
.
At
this
point
they
said
,
very
pleasantly
and
politely
,
that
I
had
already
passed
ten
deadlines
,
so
would
I
please
just
finish
the
page
I
was
on
and
let
them
have
the
damn
thing
.
26
Meanwhile
,
I
was
busy
trying
to
write
another
series
and
was
also
writing
and
script
editing
the
TV
series
"
Dr.
Who
,
"
because
while
it
was
all
very
pleasant
to
have
your
own
radio
series
,
especially
one
that
somebody
had
written
in
to
say
they
had
heard
,
it
did
n't
exactly
buy
you
lunch
.
27
So
that
was
more
or
less
the
situation
when
the
book
The
Hitchhiker
's
Guide
to
the
Galaxy
was
published
in
England
in
September
1979
and
appeared
on
the
Sunday
Times
mass
market
best-seller
list
at
number
one
and
just
stayed
there
.
Clearly
,
somebody
had
been
listening
.

This
is
where
things
start
getting
complicated
,
and
this
is
what
I
was
asked
,
in
writing
this
Introduction
,
to
explain
.
The
Guide
has
appeared
in
so
many
forms
--
books
,
radio
,
a
television
series
,
records
and
soon
to
be
a
major
motion
picture
--
each
time
with
a
different
story
line
that
even
its
most
acute
followers
have
become
baffled
at
times
.
29
Here
then
is
a
breakdown
of
the
different
versions
--
not
including
the
various
stage
versions
,
which
have
n't
been
seen
in
the
States
and
only
complicate
the
matter
further
.

The
radio
series
began
in
England
in
March
1978
.
The
first
series
consisted
of
six
programs
,
or
"
fits
"
as
they
were
called
.
Fits
1
thru
6
.
Easy
.
Later
that
year
,
one
more
episode
was
recorded
and
broadcast
,
commonly
known
as
the
Christmas
episode
.
