They showed it on BBC America? That's awesome! (We don't have TV service, so I wouldn't know.)
I saw it back in February at Gallifrey One, and I loved it! I had no idea what to expect, except that I knew it was written by Douglas Adams - and it really showed. The story was fantastic, and there were only a couple of cringeworthy-in-hindsight moments (the long floaty silver ball chase was one of them - I'm sure it would have been nailbiting at the time). The modern drawn scenes and sound recordings fit in just fine, too.
Have you read Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency? After seeing "Shada", my husband said that Dirk Gently is basically a mix of that and "City of Death", so I read it, and yes, it really is. It's also a great book.
