We will delve into that question, but first, let’s quickly look into the details of the series.ĭirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency Cast: Who’s in it?ĭirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is an offbeat series in terms of genre as it falls in comedy sci-fi detective zone. Michael Fenton Stevens worked on both The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series, and the radio adaption of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.The show has had two successful seasons so far.Dirk Maggs, who worked on both the Hitchhiker's and Dirk Gently radio series as a director considered the two part of the same Universe.In the final episode of the second series, The Rowdy 3 becomes six members with an added member from another universe, possibly a reference to the final book in the Hitchhiker's series, written by a different author than Adams, Eoin Colfer. Many fans think this is a reference to Adams' books being a trilogy in five parts, originally being planned to be three books but ending up as five. Dirk Gently is at one point called "a hoopy frood", a term used repeatedly in the Hitchhiker's series (mainly by, or in reference to, Ford Prefect) and in a later episode, before jumping into a potentially unstable portal, says to himself "don't panic!", which is written on the cover of the Guide.īoth series feature a group of characters called The Rowdy 3, which actually involves four members and becomes five members.

As with the Dirk Gently books, Thor is mentioned several times in this TV series. In the first episode Dirk says that “there was a bit about a sofa, a thing with Thor…”, which is a reference to events that occurred in the Hitchhiker's novel Life, the Universe and Everything, and also a reference to the Dirk Gently books, as in the first book there is an incident with a sofa stuck in a wall, and in the second Thor is a character who appears.
In a couple of episodes a character says 'possible' then corrects it with 'probable', which is likely a reference to probability and the Infinite Improbability Drive. There are also said to be 42 members of an organisation called Blackwing. In the first series, the number 42 shows up a few times, such as on the wall of a death maze which Dirk Gently and his assistant/friend Todd Brotzman encounter.
The 2016 BBC America adaption (later released on Netflix) included several references to Hitchhiker's. Richard asks, "Do you carry a towel with you everywhere?" This is an obvious reference to the Guide's stance on towels. In the first book, Dirk Gently hands Richard Macduff a towel.
