Douglas Adams' superb creation Dirk Gently Is hitting the small screen tomorrow night (Thursday 15th December) in a pilot for a possible series.

The books are a superb Adams off the wall sideways look at the world and its possibilities.
The makers are not trying to replicate the books but are basing a short story on them with the hope of commissioning a series.
Best of luck to them.
Apologies if someone already posted about this and I missed it.

Some quite good bits and some very good bits, fell a little flat in places. Overall, a good show for a pilot.
Its seems to me that the title role was made for Alan Davies

So I take it it was ok.
I decided not to watch, mainly because of the way the HGTTG movie was done, ie fecking badly and an insult to Douglas Adams.

A thought death-ray! So that every time I read a story of low life murderers, rapists, old people beaters etc, I could just dish out instantaneous vengeance from the comfort of my armchair! 
Not read any Adams so I had nil expectations.
The pilot was wafer thin and very patchy but not unwatchable. My guess is that most Adams fans will be disappointed.

Mildly disappointed but I'd be willing to give a mini series a chance.
