Have you seen the
BBC TV series of Dirk Gently? It only has slightly any of the plot from the books, but he does erase the plot points from the first book from a wall at one point in the pilot.
Also there's a novelisation of Douglas Adams' Shada script, which is basically the first book except Dirk Gently is the 4th Doctor instead. Now I just need to work out which request I have to make to get you to talk about the first book.
