When Elijah Wood took on the role of the hobbit Frodo Baggins in the famed Lord Of The Rings trilogy, he was plunged into the world of Middle-earth, where he had to contend with dragons, Orcs, Ents and a Gollum.

Wood’s new project, BBC America’s Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, finds him in the real world, but its weirdness could rival Middle-Earth. He plays Todd Brotzman, an unlucky hotel bellhop suddenly thrust into a sci-fi flavoured mystery populated by an assortment of bizarre characters, including Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett), an eccentric, fast-talking sleuth who believes in the “fundamental interconnectedness of all things” and sees Brotzman as the Watson to his Sherlock.
