Yeah the way I see it is that even Douglas himself didn't quite have a single vision in his mind about the story, which is why there are so many iterations (radio, book, movie, tv series, musical? Am I forgetting anything?)
There was a text adventure game as well.
The books, game, BBC radio series, BBC television series, and film were all written by Adams, each with slightly independent canon.
