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, Andrew Sachs, Jim Carter and Olivia Colman ('Peepshow'). Considered by many Adams fans to be as funny - if darker - than The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, this adventure features everything from quantum physics to missing cats, via Coleridge, Bach and an Electric Monk. This is the first of two series adapted from the 'Dirk Gently' books, directed by Dirk Maggs, who was chosen by Douglas Adams to conclude the award-winning The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and this release contains nearly one hour of additional unbroadcast material.

I should know better, after listening to the Hitchhiker's Guide series. I just don't care for the dramatized versions. It's often a cacophony wherein I can't understand the dialog, especially in view of the British accents. I will give it another go, but next time just the simple narrated version so I can understand completely what's going on, and also to better appreciate Douglas Adams' genius, which was mostly lost amidst the sound effects.

Love Adams, hate dramatizations

A different experience than audio books, this radio play was quite entertaining.

At times the audio was convoluted due to sound effects. Barely understandable when one has other background noise. I advise headphones for this one.

Radio play was a fun change from audio books

This dramatized version of Dirk Gently takes a a bit to get into but once you start flowing with the ridiculous nonsensical logic of it all it becomes great fun. The actors play their parts well and the story was well adapted. Love Douglas Adams.

Excellent fun!

Sometimes the audio from the voice actors and the background effects didn't mix well and it was difficult to hear what was said. but for the most part it was fine.

Fantastic
