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’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.

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.

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.

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

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.
