Here’s a peek at the BBC’s upcoming adaptation of Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. As of now they’ve only ordered the one episode, as a kind of test pilot, but if it does well we could be seeing a lot more of Dirk in the future.
Anti-hero Dirk Gently operates his eponymous detective agency based on the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. Perpetually broke, hopelessly chaotic and utterly infuriating, most people suspect Dirk is nothing more than a cheap conman. And they might be right – but nevertheless his methods, though unusual, do often produce surprising results.
When Dirk sets out to solve an apparently simple and harmless disappearance of a cat from an old lady’s house, he unwittingly uncovers a double murder which, in turn, leads to a host of even more extraordinary events.
