One of my favorite things ever is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It started in 1978 as a BBC Radio 4 series. I remember listening to it on CBC in Vancouver, Canada in the early 80s. I bought the whole show on tape cassette and still have a digital copy of it. In 1981 the BBC did a TV adaptation which was not as good, and a disappointing movie followed in 2005 (we were in England when it was released and I remember seeing it in Salisbury). Somewhere in there Douglas Adams turned the radio play into a series of books - a trilogy consisting of 4 books because who says a trilogy has to be 3? I read all of them. Douglas Adams died young in 2001 and I often wonder what he would be writing if he were alive today.
The BBC has a new series of Hitchhiker's for the 40th-anniversary. It starts on BBC Radio 4 on 8 March. It has the same characters but is based some things that Adams wrote but were not published.

It’s the biggest thing to happen to the universe since the Vogons blew up Earth. Our writer grabs a babelfish and goes behind the scenes as the space satire returns
DON'T PANIC!
