Coming Soon: Dirk Gently trailer | Tor.com: "Dirk Gently has finally arrived at the BBC—and he’s looking good! Based on Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, Stephen Mangan stars as the oddball holistic detective in the upcoming weekly series."
Get ready for something fantastic ... or something fantastically disappointing.
It’s on Thursday, December 16th, on BBC4 and BBC HD. It is a single one-off pilot, but may turn into a 6-episode series if the viewing numbers are good.
According to Chortle
‘Douglas once said, memorably, that “getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it”! Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama will prove his point!’
