In the last episode, Dirk's clients are being murdered. Now these are not potential clients as then Inspector Gilks has found the connection between the dead to be Dirk's client. However, generally Dirk's clients end up dead before he solves the case (that is why he never gets paid).

Hey, thanks for the hint, that there's a TV Series about Dirk Gently.
Over here in Germany I didn't hear about yet - and I daubt it will ever
be broadcasted over here :-(((

So I've to look, where to get DVDs from ...

Reading
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk_Gently_(TV_series)
I can hardly find any parallels to the original storyline in the book.

amazon.co.uk gives 229 min running time for the DVD-edition, wikipedia says
"1 pilot, 3 serial episodes, 60 min each"
are the DVDs edited?

The TV series is an 'adaptation'. The cases are not directly from the books.

You can download the series from torrentz.eu. That's what I did as no chance of getting the DVDs in Bangladesh!

1 hour ago amazon.co.uk sent a message, the DVD is delivered.
11,50 ￜ incl. postage - it's affordable to me.
