Meanwhile, the Vogons, undisputed (and disgusting) kings of bureaucracy, frustrated at Earth's return (without the necessary orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, etc.) are determined to destroy it a second time and restore equilibrium to the hyperspace by-pass system.
Ford Prefect (the ever reliable Geoffrey McGivern) is likewise fascinated to find that the Earth has returned (and thus his entry in the Hitchhiker's Guide restored and indeed extended beyond Mostly harmless).
Likewise, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford hits the comedy nail square on the head, metaphorically chewing scenery along the way.

 nhw: The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I'm one of the diehard fans of the original 1978-80 radio series, and will accept no substitutes, but there are some good bits in this televised 1981 version.
In particular, David Dixon is actually a better Ford Prefect than Geoffrey McGivern was.
The other thing that works really well is, of course, the Book - the superb animations of the entries in the Hitch-Hiker's Guide, backed up by Peter Jones' narration - the one point where televising simply could not mean pointing a camera at actors reciting the lines in a stage setting.

As the first episode was originally commissioned as a pilot, much of the casting was done by Adams and Simon Brett, his original radio producer.
Brett departed the BBC after the pilot episode was recorded, and so casting suggestions and decisions were made by Adams and Geoffrey Perkins for the remainder of both series.
Perkins also describes the casting of Simon Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Jo Kendall, Bill Wallis and many others throughout the book containing the original radio series scripts.
