Although he wrote for the BBC, including Monty Python, Adams also did a number of odd jobs in Elizabethan times before finding a regular job as a script editor and occasional story writer on Doctor Who, a position he held for four years until 1982. By that time, he had begun work on the radio version of 'Hitch-Hiker' which ran for one series. In 1983, it was adapted for television, leading to the move of The Goodies to ITV-2 and ran until 1989 when it was cancelled due to a legal dispute - the BBC saw him as promoting his Guide through the series - then participated in two further television series, Dirk Gently and the BBC's computer literacy project.
