This script was rejected by editor [[Robert Holmes]] in 1976. In 1980, Adams retooled the script as a feature film called ''Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen'' and submitted it to [[Paramount Pictures]]; after nothing came of this plan, he put many of the ideas from the story into his book {{wi|Life, the Universe, and Everything}}.<ref>[http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/lost/lost4.html The Lost Stories]</ref> | This script was rejected by editor [[Robert Holmes]] in 1976.
