We ’ve been die to see our first glimpse of BBC Four ’s young one - hour show , based on the Douglas Adams ’ clever Dirk Gently holistic detective novels . Wait no more — the first trailer has arrived !
While Dirk Gently ’s lawsuit are always complicated , the drama itself is fairly childlike , according toBBC Four’ssynopsis :
Stephen Mangan will act Douglas Adams ’ off-the-wall tec Dirk lightly in a raw BBC Four drama based on the writer ’s cult novel , Dirk Gently ’s Holistic Detective Agency .
He is link by Darren Boyd as his unwitting buddy Richard Macduff and Helen Baxendale as Richard ’s lady friend Susan in the adaptation by Bafta - gain Howard Overman .
Anti - hero Dirk mildly run his eponymous police detective delegacy based on the rudimentary interconnection of all things . Perpetually broke , hopelessly chaotic and perfectly exasperate , most people suspect Dirk is nothing more than a cheap conman . And they might be veracious – but nevertheless his methods , though unusual , do often raise surprising results .
When Dirk set out to solve an apparently round-eyed and harmless fade of a cat from an older lady ’s theatre , he unwittingly uncovers a forked murder which , in bout , leads to a legion of even more extraordinary effect .
The God Almighty of Misfits and Vexed , Howard Overman , penned the hand . And from what we can see in the trailer , it ’s get the fast - paced British wit that we adored from the germ material . No air date has been set just yet , but we ’re already quite ready to unknot the mysteries of the creation , and that missing cat , with Dirk .
