    "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" started life as a radio series at the BBC, and quickly became a huge smash. Following that success, creator Douglas Adams found himself writing novel adaptations and the screenplay for this wonderful six part television show, which premiered in 1981. It was an instant success and has achieved a huge following worldwide. First seen in the mid 1980s on PBS in the US, its popularity grew greater still, and if any show ever called out for a DVD release this is it.

    For those of you who aren't familiar with "Hitchhiker" it is the story of a human, Arthur Dent, and his extraterrestrial friend Ford Prefect who flee the Earth after it's destruction (to make way for a hyperspace bypass) and have mind-bending misadventures with compatriots Zaphod Beeblebrox and another human, the lovely Trillian. The series is filled with extremely quirky twists and turns throughout, and truly defies description. Suffice it to say that it is light years ahead of its time and never fails to provoke a laugh.

    The good humor of the series is cemented by actor Simon Jones, playing Arthur, who tours the galaxy in his bathrobe (and always knows where his towel is.) Simon was one of the key cast members carried over from the radio show, and he truly is made for the part. Likewise David Dixon is perfect as the wild-eyed Ford.

    Remember that this was a low budget production, so don't expect special effects to rival "Star Wars." Most of the effects are adequate, although I think the producers would have done well to dispense with the robotic second head of Zaphod found in the radio show and book, as the contraption that Mark Wing Davey has to wear is extremely lame, and really doesn't further the plot. His third arm, though, is surprisingly well done. Something to note in this show are what appear to be computer generated entries from the guide, which are actually amazing pieces of first rate animation.

    The second DVD is a wonderful gift from BBC Video. It contains two documentaries on "Hitchhiker" one from 1992, and one made for this release, as well as outtakes, deleted scenes, behind the scenes footage, and production notes which can be superimposed throughout the entire presentation. It has a digitally remastered stereo soundtrack, but you can also select the original mono soundtrack which I generally prefer, as when the computer, Deep Thought, speaks there is too much reverb in the stereo version to understand it easily. It also contains a tribute to Douglas Adams who died suddenly at the age of 49 immediately before the release of the DVD set.

    This is still the only science fiction comedy series that truly got it right, and this DVD is an absolute treasure to own and watch. By all means, check it out today, but don't let the Vogons read you any of their poetry!

    This is what the movie should have been , sad they cut funding and didn't make it all the way through the series .. but it did cover 3 books and it was well worth watching
  • Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024
    I quite liked it. This is a review of the Blu-ray Special Edition. The six episodes of the TV series occupy the first of the three discs and a wide variety of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy extras occupy the other two discs. Don't expect any improvement in the video quality of the TV series, as another reviewer noted it was not remastered from film (which is no longer available) but from broadcast videocassettes, limiting the possible quality. If you are only interested in the TV series, save some money and get the DVD edition. There are more extras than there is TV series. I found the extras interesting and informative, though some are repetitive. The extras cover not only the TV series but include information about the two original radio series, Douglas Adams, the Infocom interactive computer game, and items produced after Adams' death including the 2005 movie and the third through sixth radio series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Actually based on the original story
    Reviewed in Canada on December 27, 2024
    The thing that makes this the only valid adaptation of the books is because it's an adaptation of the radio series which is literally a narration of the books.

    Actually, I need to gush about this a little more. The making of documentary has been absolutely enlightening. It's taking me back to 13 years old, when I discovered Douglas Adams through the series.

    I get to be that nerdy kid again ☺️

    Excellent! Quality! No regrets! Can't wait to show my teenage kids....
    Some comments/complaints on this forum suggesting that the remastering and restoration aren't up to scratch seem misplaced to me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the DVD edition
    Reviewed in Germany on April 14, 2021
    5 stars for being a total HHGTTG geek. Watched it on TV back in the 80s on PBS, and it brought back memories. So, if this is what you are wishing to recapture, well worth it. Sure, the effects are, well, did not age well. But, really close to the book, and I wish it was the same for the movie (don’t compare them). Zaphod’s extra head in this version is horrid, so the movie has that going for it. Bought the DVD after reading the reviews on the Blu-Ray edition, would suggest you save the money and do the same. It is Region 2, just so you are aware.

    The DVD arrived before the expected date, great service.
