Did you not see the pilot a little while ago? I thought it was OK -- plot full of holes that weren't in the book, but genuinely funny, with bits of visual humour that I thought were decidedly in the spirit of Adams's often-unfilmable verbal humour (much more so than the Hitch-Hiker film). Stephen Mangan is very good (as he was in Green Wing).
