From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Douglas Noel Adams (11th March 1952-11th May 2001) wrote The Pirate Planet and Shada, and co-wrote City of Death with producer Graham Williams under the pseudonym David Agnew. He was also script editor for Season 17. He is most famous for creating The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which he wrote as a radio play and book while editing for Doctor Who. His style of humor has left a lasting impression on other writers, and can still be seen even in the revived series.
