The original and best. Adams' writing and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop created something that is still unequaled nearly 30 years later. The books benefit from being able to convey far more than either the radio or TV versions. The TV version is very much a victim of it's format. It is worth a look and could have been much much worse. There is even a cameo appearance by the Marvin from the TV series. The biggest disappointment for me was that the Vogon ships weren't yellow and they didn't just hang in the air in exactly the same way that bricks don't. Lee.
