- Synopsis:
Dirk Gently, Douglas Adams' perennially broke, morally dubious Holistic Detective, whose investigations are based on the "Fundamental Interconnectedness of All Things" is finally brought to television in BBC4's hit series. Created by Howard Overman and starring Stephen Mangan as Dirk, and Darren Boyd as his put-upon business partner Richard MacDuff, these four stories take in a missing cat, a stolen robot, horoscopes that actually predict the future and a Pentagon plot to destroy the Free World. And while solving these cases, Dirk must stay one step ahead of MacDuff's sceptical girlfriend Susan (Helen Baxendale), harassed Detective Inspector Gilks (Jason Watkins) and his own unpaid, unappreciated assistant Janice (Lisa Jackson), all while escaping the attentions of the Taxman and framing a man for murder. - Actors:

Very Entertaining - Dirk Gently: Series 1 review by CP Customer
Fresh and interesting mixture of pop metaphysics and murder mystery. Acted with a light touch, and unlike some sci fi I enjoyed it the third and forth time round just as much!
