CriticaIIy acclaimed writer Douglas Adams had completed the script, Tom Baker s Doctor was at the height of his popularity, and the series had bigger audiences than ever before. But a strike at the BBC in November 1979 interrupted production and the adventure was abandoned. The story became legendary among fans.
