Take one, pass it on

It does look quite good, albeit different.  I very much doubt that they'll have kept the same theme tune (which will be a crime of some degree), I am not fantastically keen on an American Ford Prefect (and I miss the blazer), and I very strongly disapprove of the weedy voice they've given the Vogon Prostetnic, but overall it looks remarkably hopeful.

I just hope it has proper cutaway Book sequences, it is an important narative device that lends a lot to the tone of the beast.

They could make it all go away by hanging a lantern on it.

FORD: What if I told you I was not in fact from Guildford as I have always claimed, but instead from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse? That I was, in fact, an alien?
ARTHUR: Well, that would certainly explain the accent.

Indeedy, Ford in the book at least was described as having red hair. Actually I'm quite fond of the TV series "astrophysics postgrad at a redbrick uni in the home counties" look for Ford. It's a shame that guy couldn't act.
