"Enter the mind and universe of Douglas Adams in this documentary. Also features Stephen Fry, Griff Rhys Jones, Mary Allen, Jon Canter, John Lloyd and more"

Author of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, polymath Douglas Adams was a pioneer of science fiction, comedy, technology and environmental activism.

We're on a playful journey with Douglas Adams - diving into the broad questions of life, the universe and everything at a time when we are all asking questions of ourselves and our place on Earth - and our fear of destroying it. Campaigning for endangered species and the coming storm of climate change, he was years ahead of his time.

Optimistic about the infinite possibilities that computers will bring, obsessing with the art of writing, while exploring parallel dimensions and artificial intelligence, his philosophy and ideas are meaningful, and visionary.

Reading through the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy got me through some rough times many years ago. I was saddened to hear of his passing at such a young age, now almost a quarter of a century ago.

I'm not sure my wife will approve, but I have a pretty good idea of what I would like to have as an epitaph, when my time eventually comes.
