Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Posted by Star Eater on August 18, 2013 at 5:36am

A corpse that was strangled after it was shot, a bathroom containing a Horse covered in pink dust, the lost poetry of Coleridge, the found music of JS Bach, a whole slew of missing cats ... and an Electric Monk in search of something to Believe In. Only Dirk Gently, Holistic Detective, can join the dots in a random series of events and come up with a solution that reveals a secret so huge that the entirety of everything hinges on it.

Richard MacDuff (BILLY BOYD) has been invited back to a St Cedd's College Coleridge Dinner by his old Cambridge tutor 'Reg' Chronotis (ANDREW SACHS). But Richard has forgotten a vital promise to his girlfriend Susan Way (FELICITY MONTAGU) - a promise that could end their relationship. While Richard attempts to break into Susan's flat to retrieve an incriminating answerphone tape, his employer - Susan's brother, Gordon (ROBERT DUNCAN) - is undergoing a permanent out-of body experience thanks to a mystery assailant in the boot of his car. Richard is prime suspect and his old college friend Svlad Cjelli - now known as Dirk Gently, Holistic Detecive (HARRY ENFIELD) - assisted by the eternally disgruntled Janice Pearce (OLIVIA COLMAN) - realises that forces are at work which are unlikely to be obvious to his fingerprints-and-pocket-fluff-sifting nemesis, Detective Sergeant Gilks (JIM CARTER).
