Summary
The complete BBC Radio collection bringing together two full-cast dramatisations of Douglas Adams's Dirk Gently novels.
In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency 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 he's drawn into a four-billion-year-old mystery that must be solved if the human race is to avoid immediate extinction.
In The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul Harry Enfield exuberantly returns as Dirk Gently, who, fallen on hard times and dressed as a gypsy woman, is using his irritatingly accurate clairvoyant powers to read palms. He is saved when a frantic client turns up with a ludicrous story about being stalked by a goblin waving a contract accompanied by a hairy, green-eyed, scythe-wielding monster. When Detective Superintendent Gilks decides a headless body found in a sealed room is the result of a particularly irritating suicide, Dirk is plunged into a mystery where the interconnectedness of all things is tested to the limit...
Starring Harry Enfield as Dirk Gently along with Billy Boyd, Olivia Coleman, Andrew Sachs and Jim Carter. Guest stars include Peter Davison (Doctor Who), Jan Ravens (Dead Ringers), Philip Jackson (Poirot), John Fortune (Bremner, Bird & Fortune), Morwenna Banks (Absolutely) and Stephen Moore (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy).

Don't panic, it's great fun
Two plays based on the two books by Adams. These are great fun. Enfield is a fun Dirk Gently. Lots of in-jokez related to Adams work. Laughed and loved it.

"If you've done six impossible things this morning, why not not round it off with Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective agency"
Great Cast, great story telling.

bloody brilliant
Absolutely Douglas, soo clever and funny. Harry Enfield deserves an award for being so Douglas I didn't need to know the author to recognize the work.

Great but....
the audio book itself was really good, the only thing that ruined it slightly for me was the 'credits' being read out after every chapter as it disrupted the flow. Other than that everything was great

Excellent Radio play.
Great radio play lovingly produced and a true homage to the original Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy Radio show.
If you are a purist and find any deviation from the text to be an affront then its probably not for you but I loved it and found the updates harmonic. Great performances, fun wacky story, good, clean fun. my only bugbear is I wish you had the option to play it through as one program rather then with credits every hour or so but then this is easily skipped through and where else can you hear an Oscar winning actress playing a vending machine.

Great cast and brought back fond memories
Good to listen to plays not quite same feel as the books. always strange to hear voices for characters from books.
