Absolutely bursting with charm, with some very funny performances. To me at least, this old, tacky and ridiculously dated production captures much more of the essence and purpose of Adams classic piece of sci-fi that its more modern cinema adaptation.

This TV Series is dated but still very funny. It's much better than the recent big screen adaptation of the same material...even if one of them is an obvious fake, at least Zaphod has two heads!

Inept, dull, unfunny, corny, painful. The adjectives go on and on. I have NEVER seen something so awful attract such universal gushing praise. So many jokes adapted directly from the radio/novel could have been turned into great visual gags (film is primarily a visual medium, didn't they get the memo?) but we're stuck with the characters telling us, not showing us, what's so funny. Campy effects are the least of its problems. Marvin was okay, I guess.

suffers from limited special effects technology, but really drives home the humor style of douglas adams, and thank god he really is hilarious. it's also a more comprehensive story than the remake, and since it's such a great story that's a big plus. if this movie had been made thirty years later in this form, it would have been awesome.

Hilariously dated now, but the source material is solid gold.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is perfectly in keeping with the words and tone of the books. It's hilarious in way that only British TV can be. The actors all work amazingly with what they are given. Scene after scene will have you laughing you head off. That being said, it can come off as more of a series of sketches on occasion more so than a singular story.
