The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' is a comedy science fiction series created by Douglas Adams. Originally a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1978, it was later adapted to other formats, and over several years it gradually became an international multi-media phenomenon. Adaptations have included stage shows, a "trilogy" of five books published between 1979 and 1992, a sixth novel penned by Eoin Colfer in 2009, a 1981 TV series, a 1984 computer game, and three series of three-part comic book adaptations of the first three novels published by DC Comics between 1993 and 1996. There were also two series of towels, produced by Beer-Davies, that are considered by some fans to be an "official version" of ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'', as they include text from the first novel.〔(A wiki devoted to the history of H2G2 themed towels ).〕 A Hollywood-funded film version, produced and filmed in the UK, was released in April 2005, and radio adaptations of the third, fourth, and fifth novels were broadcast from 2004 to 2005. Adams did many of these adaptations, including the novels, the TV series, the computer game, and the earliest drafts of the Hollywood film’s screenplay, and some of the stage shows introduced new material written by Adams.
The title is the name of a fictional, eccentric, electronic travel guide, ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'', prominently featured in the series.
''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''〔The spelling of ''Hitchhiker's Guide'' has varied in different editions. For consistency this article always spells it this way. See Spelling of Hitchhiker's Guide.〕 is often abbreviated ''HG2G''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jo Kent saves cult hg2g game from scrapheap )〕 and ''HHGTTG''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy )〕 (as used on fan websites) also ''H2G2'' (first used by Neil Gaiman as a chapter title in ''Don't Panic'' and later by the online guide). The series is also often referred to as ''The Hitchhiker's Guide'', ''Hitchhiker's'', or simply ''The Guide''. This title can refer to any of the various incarnations of the story of which the books are the most widely distributed, having been translated into more than 30 languages by 2005.
== Plot ==
The various versions follow the same basic plot but they are in many places mutually contradictory, as Adams rewrote the story substantially for each new adaptation.〔See for example "Introduction: A Guide to the Guide - some unhelpful remarks by the author" by Adams p.vi-xi in the compilation "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide" ISBN 0-517-14925-7〕 Throughout all versions, the series follows the adventures of Arthur Dent, a hapless Englishman, although the story also follows the adventure of other major characters: Ford Prefect (who named himself after the Ford Prefect car to blend in with what was assumed to be the dominant life form, automobiles), an alien from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse and a researcher for the eponymous guidebook; Zaphod Beeblebrox, Ford's semi-cousin and the Galactic President; the depressed robot Marvin the Paranoid Android; and Trillian, formerly known as Tricia McMillan, a woman Arthur once met at a party in Islington and the only other human survivor of Earth's destruction.
