E 25/11 Win a signed script of 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency'

Answer = Richard Madcuff

Don't forget to opt in/ out of emails at very bottom of form

Not many detectives are capable of taking on the challenge of solving the oldest mystery in the universe. But there's one that seems totally incapable. His name is Gently, Dirk Gently. Yet, somehow, the future of the human race comes to rest on his abilities to solve a mystery that has perplexed all for four-billion years!
Considered by many Adams fans to be as funny - if darker - than The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency' features everything from quantum physics to missing cats, via Coleridge, Bach and an Electric Monk. The story is brought to life by award-winning director Dirk Maggs and his cast featuring Harry Enfield, Billy Boyd, Andrew Sachs, Jim Carter, and Olivia Colman.
