What a DVD Should Be - D. Adams would be proud
This is a review of the DVD set itself, as I assuming most of you already know the story and have possibly seen the TV show. This is a digitally remastered DVD with a stereo soundtrack and clear crisp visuals.

It's actually a two DVD set. The TV series, which is on the first DVD, is as near to a flawless reproduction as is currently possible. Watch it with the lights off to enjoy all the visuals and matte painting special effects that were available in 1981 with a shoestring budget. Additionally, this is a "must buy" just for the second DVD alone. Outtakes and deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, The Making of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, BBC Omnibus Tribute to Douglas Adams, and much more.

BBC Video has stepped up and hit a homerun with this DVD set. Be sure to watch it with and recommend it to your friends. "Share and enjoy!"

cheesy special effects
I ordered the vhs version of "Hitchhiker." I've read the books several times, really enjoy the humor. The television series on this video set just isn't as good, cheesy special effects, very cheap production. I've noticed that about British science fiction on television - oh well. Strange choices for the actors, especially Zaphod Breeblebox, it looks as though they had a spare pirate's head hanging around and decided to make up the actor to look like the fake head. I never pictured Trillian as a blonde bimbette with a baby voice. I hope some day someone spends some money on it and makes a really good movie of the "Hitchhiker."

Misleading product information
I bought this DVD expressly for the recording of the original radio play. The product details published here on Amazon indicate more than once that this DVD contains the radio play recording. However, it does NOT.
