'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', launched as a radio drama on the BBC, was a huge success. The novel of the same name topped the list of English bestsellers in 1984, and Adams himself became the youngest writer to receive the Golden Pen Award, awarded for 1 million books sold.The 1982 TV show consolidated the success of a series of books about Hitchhiking, and the 2005 feature film, with a budget of $50 million, twice "beat off" the costs of the film adaptation and was nominated for 7 awards.The popularity of the satirical "trilogy in five parts" has spilled out into the music and computer industry. For example, the bands Radiohead, Coldplay, NOFX use quotes from Adams' novel, and Level 42 is named after the main storyline of the novel.The heroes of the equally iconic film "Men in Black" shamelessly use the sarcastic dialogues of Adams' characters.
