Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams provides another tenuous link between the towns of Aberystwyth (mentioned in The Meaning of Liff) and Southend-on-Sea (the seafront of which is briefly seen in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; he was also friends with Gary Brooker, who comes from Southend). His friend Richard Dawkins claimed him as his only convert to atheism. He was also former Script Editor – and writer of episodes – of Doctor Who.
