I assume the SJA is a repeat of the last series?
I would like more 8th Doctor on the radio.
Mad & Bad looks quite interesting.
But DIRK GENTLY???? How did I not know about this?
I am very happy, to quote another thread
I know - It crept up on me without warning too.

Stephen Mangan will play Douglas Adams' eccentric detective Dirk Gently in a new BBC Four drama based on the author's cult novel, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
He is joined by Darren Boyd as his unwitting sidekick Richard Macduff and Helen Baxendale as Richard's girlfriend Susan in the adaptation by Bafta-winning Howard Overman.
Anti-hero Dirk Gently operates his eponymous detective agency based on the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. Perpetually broke, hopelessly chaotic and utterly infuriating, most people suspect Dirk is nothing more than a cheap conman. And they might be right – but nevertheless his methods, though unusual, do often produce surprising results.
When Dirk sets out to solve an apparently simple and harmless disappearance of a cat from an old lady's house, he unwittingly uncovers a double murder which, in turn, leads to a host of even more extraordinary events.
Not before the 17th evidently. Might be time to dig out the DVDs?
I remember that book, it was a good laugh. Wasn't there another?
The long dark Teatime of the Soul I believe?
I think it's time I located these books tbh.....
and half of the last one "the salmon of dought"

The Salmon of Doubt was intended to be the sixth HHGTTG, but as he really wanted a rhino in it, it apparently leant itself better to a Dirk Gently tome...
It is such an appalling shame he died.
