Halloween 2019

This was Halloween 2019 🎃 when I was getting Aaron to play dress up as Gordon Rimmer (from DIRK GENTLY) and Chief Tyrol. Then decided to do both at the same time 🤣 Chief Rimmer? Gordon Tyrol?

DIRK GENTLY: Premiered 5 Years ago today

DIRK GENTLY’S HOLISTIC DETECTIVE AGENCY premiered 5 years ago today on October 22, 2016. Gordon Rimmer is my favourite character that Aaron has ever played. Whenever I watch him in something, I can always “see Aaron”, if that makes any sense. But while watching Dirk Gently I totally forget that he is Gordon Rimmer and I love that.

If you’ve never seen the show, please do yourself a favour and check it out. It’s one of those shows that gets better and better with every rewatch, you pick up on so many things you missed the first time around. In the USA it’s available to watch on Hulu. The rest of the world, it’s on Netflix. It’s also available on Amazon Prime and iTunes in some countries.

Photo on the left: In July 2018 I won Gordon Rimmer’s coat and glasses in an online auction and had them shipped to Aaron’s house. Later that year when I was visiting he surprised me by putting on the coat and glasses and did the Gordon Rimmer voice and stayed in character the whole time I was doubled over laughing. Photo on the right: Halloween 2019. BSG vs Dirk Gently. Chief Rimmer? Gordon Tyrol?

DIRK GENTLY: Gordon Rimmer’s car on NANCY DREW (???)

HOLY FRAK!!!! I think Ace (Alex Saxon) on NANCY DREW has Gordon Rimmer’s car from DIRK GENTLY’S HOLISTIC DETECTIVE AGENCY.


The back of the car is the same.

DIRK GENTLY: Aaron wearing the Lux Dujour Coat

Soon I will start the long journey home to Australia. One of the highlights of my vacation was Aaron surprising me by dressing up in the Lux Dujour coat and the glasses that I won in the Dirk Gently auctions. He put on the Gordon Rimmer voice and stayed in character the whole time that I was doubled over laughing ?

EDIT: Here’s a clip of Aaron in the coat from DIRK GENTLY https://youtu.be/TfOsl7ZinXI. If you’re in the USA you can watch the show on HULU. For the rest of the world, it’s on Netflix.

DIRK GENTLY: Business Cards

Look what Aaron found in one of the pockets of the bag he takes to set. It’s the business cards that Dirk throws at Gordon Rimmer in episode 1×02 ❤️ Yeah, he’s not getting these back ? #DirkGently

FILMING LOCATIONS: Dirk Gently

(Video 1 of 3) While we were still out at Riverview (for BSG locations) we visited the building that was used as the ‘Animal Transfer Unit’ on DIRK GENTLY.

As you can see from the screen caps from the show they built a facade in front of those two sets of doors to make it just one entrance.

 


(Video 2 of 3) This is the back of the building from the previous video I posted. This is the scene where Gordon Rimmer is throwing away his Lux Dujour items in the dumpster but decides to keep the coat. In another episode it is where the fight between Gordon and Estevez (played by Neil Brown Jr) takes place.

(Video 3 of 3) This location is from the episode 1×07: Weaponized Soul where Gordon explains his plan to his henchmen (Men of the Machine). The scene was filmed in a huge derelict warehouse. But when we got out there …. watch the video … you’ll see.

This is a photo that Aaron sent to me while they were filming the episode. THIS is what we were hoping to find.

DIRK GENTLY: Gordon Rimmer’s Coat

OMG!! OMG!! I won Gordon Rimmer’s coat in the DIRK GENTLY auction!!!! I am SO EXCITED. It cost a fortune *cough*USD$3,995.49*cough* but it’s worth it. To me, Gordon Rimmer’s coat is as iconic as Chief’s orange coveralls.
