An Adventure Videogame adaptation, opening similarly to the first radio series and book but soon diverging, is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ( 1984).

The second and third full reworkings of the sequence – as a television series and as the first two volumes of a series of novels – seem to have been put together more or less simultaneously, and, although there are some differences between the two, it would be difficult to assign priority to any one version of the long and episodic plot.

As with "Shada", a novelization by another hand – again James Goss – subsequently appeared as City of Death ( 2015) perhaps inevitably, it could not capture the joie de vivre of the original.Īdams came to wide notice with his Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy sequence (see Humour), whose first incarnation was on BBC Radio. "City of Death" is particularly worthy of note: an inventive and witty Time-Travel tale set in Paris, where a plot to steal Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is orchestrated by the same Alien who, in another incarnation, commissioned it five centuries before. It was eventually released as a novelization by another hand – James Goss – as Doctor Who: The Pirate Planet ( 2017). "The Pirate Planet" was not initially novelized the script was scheduled to appear as «Doctor Who: The Scripts: The Pirate Planet» in 1994, but the relevant publishing imprint was cancelled before its release. The last was scheduled to be broadcast in 1980, but was only partially filmed owing to industrial action the extant footage was released on video with linking narration in 1992 a novelization by Gareth Roberts eventually appeared as Shada ( 2012). He worked as script editor for the 1979-1980 season of Doctor Who television series, and wrote three stories for it: "The Pirate Planet" ( 1978), "City of Death" ( 1979) (with Graham Williams from an original draft by David Fisher as by "David Agnew"), and "Shada".
