Publisher's Summary
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...
This is the second of three series adapted from the Dirk Gently books, directed by Dirk Maggs (chosen by Douglas Adams to conclude the award-winning Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy). Guest stars include Peter Davison (Doctor Who), Jan Ravens (Dead Ringers), Philip Jackson (Poirot), John Fortune (Bremner, Bird & Fortune), Morwenna Banks (Absolutely), Stephen Moore (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) and returning cast members Olivia Colman (Peep Show), Jim Carter (The Golden Compass) and Billy Boyd (The Lord Of The Rings). This release contains over 30 minutes of additional unbroadcast material.

Dramatised version
People who rate this poorly do so because they haven't bothered reading the title or the "narrated by" or the bit where it says BBC Radio 4 Full-Cast Dramatisation. To whit, this is an abridged version adapted for radio. I recommend buying both versions because they're both great.

the last completed thing DNA wrote I believe... excellent! A sad loss to the literary world.

Not the Douglas Adams Narration
This is a radio play version, not the original Douglas Adams narration. you really only get the dialogue and miss out on all of the subtext. Avoid
