An account called scifigroup has the full series.
Should you decide to go for a movie version, choose the older one, where Zaphod Beeblebrox is given the required two heads (but only one of them shows any signs of life).
P.S. Here is a clip from the above-mentioned, with a bonus Marvin the Paranoid Android.

As I was diligently searching YouTube for the last 3 or so audiobooks in the series, I ran across the first episode in the BBC TV series and watched it.
I was immediately as depressed as Marvin the Robot when I realized that I could not find the rest of the series on YouTube. As it turned out, I liked the BBC version better than the 2005 movie version, with the ewxception of Trillian - I thought the latter Trillian conformed to the book much better than the BBC Trillian.
Much of that attitude is down to my being a big Zoey Deschanel fan. I've been a big fan of her since I first saw her in "The Wizard of Oz" and realized that she beat Judy Garland all hollow as Dorothy. So my assessment is as much a function of mere casting as it is a critique of the BBC series.
