Liked it
Only "like" though. It feels watered-down when compared to the book. But it does have the same sort of feel as the book.
I'd agree that I don't like Zaphod's second head set up or the look of Marvin. The voice is perfect though. My teen son and his friend who had not read the books loved it.

Q&Q on HHGTG
This Week on Quirks & Quarks we stretch the boundaries a little:
"Don't Panic: The Science of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
Space is big. Really, mind-bogglingly big. So big, in fact, that everything that could ever happen, has happened somewhere in the universe. And, as improbable as it sounds, here, in our insignificant part of the universe, someone has published a book. A book full of facts and fantasy, aimed at explaining the science behind another improbable book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Hitchhiker's Guide was the creation of an ape descendent named Douglas Adams, and has appeared in various guises: a BBC radio series, a BBC TV series, a five-part trilogy, and, just last week, a new movie. Now another ape descendent has written the book about the book, wisely titled, "The Science of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." We'll talk to the author.
Plus - discovering the differences in dinosaur diets ...
All this and more on Quirks & Quarks, Saturday right after the noon news on Radio One.
