The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy first broadcast beginning on this day in 1978. So it’s... 42.
Douglas Adams wrote the first serial and book while working as a script editor on Doctor Who, and the first series broadcast before his first Who story, The Pirate Planet. Sequels included things he couldn’t do in Who for various reasons like budget and later tone, but from the beginning it featured a confused modern British person stumbling around time and space with a human-looking alien and getting into a wide variety of trouble.
