It's easily far better than the movie, even with 1980s cheap TV effects


My personal favorite bit as a former lighting tech is when Ford is in the cargo hold of the Vogon ship. He strikes a match to look for the lightswitch and for a solid 3 seconds there is a 4 pin spot aimed squarely at the back of his head instead of the wall in front of him.

From a technical perspective, that was a risky shot to set up with the equipment they had on hand, and if I had to guess, the actor playing Ford completely missed his mark on the stage in that scene. It's not like the BBC was going to waste tape reshooting that scene so they left the take in. I get the feeling that just about all the BBC productions of that era were one and done scenes anyway. It's a minor gaffe but it gets a chuckle from me everytime like the stormtrooper in Star Wars that hits his head on the door.
