The pilot gained a commission on 31 March for a three-part series of one hour-long episodes broadcast on BBC Four in March The screenplay of the pilot by Howard Overman is not a direct adaptation of the novel, but uses certain characters and situations from the novel to form the basis of a new drama centred around Dirk.
Especially not on a BBC Four budget. We made the deliberate decision not to do a straight translation of the books. If we'd done that the fans would have felt badly let down, because you can never portray that world on the screen as well as it's been done in people's own imaginations If you just do a straight adaptation like The Hitchhiker's Guide film, people are always going to be quite brutal about it because it's never going to live up to their expectations.
The pilot concentrates on two relatively minor plot strands in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency : the disappearance of a cat, and the simultaneous disappearance of billionaire Gordon Way. There are changes to the characters too, one notable one being that Susan is Gordon's ex-girlfriend rather than his sister. Several additional elements from Adams' novels, in particular St Cedd's College, were later to appear in the full series. Interviewed about the series, Mangan noted that 'All three episodes are very different in tone and you get a different Dirk with each one He's on the run from the police in one of them and in another there's a bit of romance in the air, which for Dirk is a surprise because he's probably the most asexual character on TV There seems to be a vogue for dark, realistic, gritty detective series, apart from perhaps Sherlock.
Dirk has so much humour in it. How many other detectives mix detection with quantum mechanics or drive a year-old brown Austin Leyland Princess? Stephen Mangan, best known for his role in the television series Green Wing , and subsequently Episodes , was cast in the main role as holistic detective Dirk Gently.
Mangan already knew the novel and the author's works, stating in a press release 'I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom.
It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters. Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role.
Episode three features Lisa Dillon and Tony Pitts. Although the series is set in the London boroughs of Camden Town and Islington, the series was shot entirely in Bristol. The production's location manager, Rob Champion, noted that each location had to be chosen carefully to avoid featured giveaway clues to Bristol, in particular any building made of the local building material, limestone.
