I remember listening to the original radio show through headphones, and it was brilliant. The sound effects were state-of-the-art BBC electronic workshop noises, and the stereo effects were great. Radio is like a book - you imagine the pictures yourself. As soon as they put real faces and cod special visual effects it spoiled it all. The killer was seeing Marvin. My imagined Marvin was much better and much more miserable.

The TV series was OK because it stuck fairly well to the radio show and the advanced computer graphics were actually just animated drawings, but neither film did justice to the original radio show.

The films were awful. The TV series was ok, the books and radio were brilliant. No argument.
I have spoken.

None of the versions agree. None of them are canon, nor should they be considered to be. They all reflect Adams' version of the story at the time they were made. He himself is quite clear on this.
