Dirk Gently - Series 1 (2012)

Director:	Howard Overman
Actors:	Stephen Mangan, Helen Baxendale, Darren Boyd

Stephen Mangan (Episodes) stars as Dirk Gently, the eccentric private detective with a unique take on the world. Perennially broke and morally dubious, Gentlys investigations are based on the 'Fundamental Interconnectedness of All Things'. Most people suspect Dirk is nothing more than a cheap conman and they might be right but nevertheless his methods, though unusual, do often produce surprising results. Created by Howard Overman (Misfits) and 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 (Doctor Who, Skins).
