I am thrilled to learn that the BBC is creating a TV show around the Douglas Adams character of Dirk Gently. After I whipped my way through Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide series in my youth, I craved more, so I picked up “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency” and its sequel “Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.” It’s been years since I read them, but I remember them being funny in Adams’ characteristic way, although different from the Hitchhiker’s Guide stuff.
I’m looking forward to the TV show!
