4 weeks ago | radiotimes.com | Stephen Armstrong

And yet, as the film shows, Adams was often unhappy and found it very hard to write anything. We spoke to John Lloyd, his former flatmate and the creator, writer or producer of Not the Nine O’Clock News, Spitting Image, Blackadder, QI and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, about why Adams may be the last great sci-fi satirist.
