I loved this TV series. It was bizarre, low-budget and just hilarious.
I have read the first three books and have all 12 episodes of the radio show on tape.
The series centers on Arthur Dent, totally ordinary Earthman whose house is about to be demolished by a large yellow bulldozer. But then his friend Ford Prefect (for the American's: it's a car) shows up and reveals himself to be an alien from planet Betelgeuse 7. And the Yellow Bulldozer is nothing compared to a huge yellow spaceship that destroys the Earth. and that is just the beginning of an adventure at a probability of 2^123452185629472945729472643927442732:1
Oh, and there's a paranoid android, a two-headed galactic president with three arms and an Earth astrophysicist
