Is it Friday already? Somehow, in amongst everything else, I have managed this week to a) watch some telly, and b) review it. Telly Addict is up, courtesy of the Guardian. In it, I’m saying words about Dirk Gently on BBC4; the NME Awards on C4; Kidnap & Ransom on ITV1; and Empire on BBC1.
Having read the Dirk Gentley novels I was traumatised by how they were gutted for the pilot episode and now I can’t quite remember, between ‘them’ and ‘it’, which bits we’re supposed to be holding onto for the series… I can’t work out if it’s brilliant or very contrived.

I think it’s in the spirit of the books, and that’s the important thing.
