The BBC's Dirk Gently
Was it just me, or was it really really dreadful?
I haven't read the book – I had long given up on Douglas Adams by that point, after the dire 3rd and even worse 4th Hitchhiker books. So it may be that the TV adaptation was a travesty of its brilliance: let me know what you think. But blimey, it was knuckle-gnawingly poor. It seemed like the cringeworthy pilot for some sitcom that you pray desperately will never get made.
But maybe I'm being unduly harsh?
