  • "What do a dead cat, a computer whizz-kid, an electric monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet) and pizza have in common? Apparently not much, until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza - not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge)."@en

  • "The "hero" is Dirk Gently, a man who will probably never make his way into the great tradition of hard-boiled, sophisticated detectives. Missing cats and messy divorces are his speciality, but his goal for now is to clear a college friend of suspicion of murder. On the way, he discovers a ghost, a time traveler, and the devastating secret of humankind."@en

Dirk Gently has an unshakeable belief in the interconnectedness of all things, but his Holistic Detective Agency mainly succeeds in tracking down missing cats for old ladies ... Then Dirk stumbles upon an old friend behaving bizarrely --and is drawn into a four-billion year old mystery that must be solved if the human race is to avoid immediate extinction. Harry Enfield stars as Douglas Adams's much-loved psychic sleuth, with Billy Boyd (The lord of the rings), Andrew Sachs (Fawlty Towers), Jim Carter (The golden compass) and Olivia Colman (Peepshow)."
