BBC Four has released a few short clips from their adaptation of the late Douglas Adams’ spacey private detective novel, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. The video is embedded above.
Actor Stephen Mangan will star as Dirk Gently, alongside co-stars Darren Boyd and Helen Baxendale. The script was written by Howard Overman, the writer behind Misfits and Vexed.
Here’s more from BBC Four: “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.” (Via io9)
