Barman Synopsis:Dirk Gently, Douglas Adams' perennially broke, morally dubious Holistic Detective, whose investigations are based on the "Fundamental Interconnectedness of All Things" is finally brought to television in BBC4's hit series. Created by Howard Overman (Misfits) and starring Stephen Mangan (Episodes, Green Wing) as Dirk, and Darren Boyd (Spy, Whites) as his put-upon business partner Richard MacDuff, these four stories take in a missing cat, a stolen robot, horoscopes that actually predict the future and a Pentagon plot to destroy the Free World. And while solving these cases, Dirk must stay one step ahead of MacDuff's sceptical girlfriend Susan (Helen Baxendale - Cold Feet, Friends), harassed Detective Inspector Gilks (Jason Watkins - Trollied) and his own unpaid, unappreciated assistant Janice (Lisa Jackson - Campus), all while escaping the attentions of the Taxman and framing a man for murder. Based on the much-loved books by Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy), Dirk Gently is written by Howard Overman, Jamie Mathieson (Being Human) and Matt Jones (Dr. Who, Skins). Part genius, part conman, mostly tangential, Dirk Gently is a detective like no other.
