These books written by Douglas Adams are unbelievably charming and genuinely a staple not only of Sci-Fi culture but British literature as well. Although they are not profound novels that teach you something about life or the universe, they deliver on an utterly fun and loveable approach to storytelling that is full of sarcastic and self-aware humour.

The story follows Arthur Dent, an unbelievably average man who suddenly gets thrown into a chaotic world of space travel after his alien friend Ford transports him onto the ship of a collection of extraterrestrials named Vogons who have just destroyed the planet Earth.

It is an utterly absurd series that genuinely takes you to tonnes of exciting places not only around the galaxy but within the colourful dynamics between its characters.

While an adaptation does already exist that did perfectly fine but was nothing to write home about, another attempt could bring in an entirely new audience and finally give the epically humorous series a film/tv version that captures the eyes of audiences everywhere.
