Agreed, it was a big letdown unfortunately, compared to any of the other versions (including the text adventure!)

Shame, because Martin Freeman was perfect for Arthur, and Stephen Fry as the voice of the Guide was a great choice too. Though Mos Def was ok as Ford, although not on a par with David Dickson (TV) or Geoffrey McGivern (radio).

Zaphod and Trillian weren’t right at all though IMO.
