Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
真是非常普通的人，初恋线那种波西米亚/布尔乔亚和引经据典已经让人审美疲惫了，反而是友情线和风俗女的尾崎丰歌唱意外有点动人。
越到后面看的越上头，（东出昌大还能一直活跃荧幕算是日本陈赫了吧？

网飞出品，森义仁监督作品。
是这些天以来看过最最喜欢的电影，无限接近现实，又在无数个瞬间脱离了现实。
长大后的某一天，回首往事，就像走在疫情后夜晚的街道，偶遇老朋友，叙旧道别后继续一个人向前独行。
70分。1）想起《薄荷糖》来了，但却记不得《薄荷糖》讲的是什么了。2）谁不希望时光倒流呢？3）我一直在想你
在看主人公回忆与初恋女友恋情时，我总是想到太太。想到第一次怎么去宾馆，跟她的记忆替换了更早与女友的记忆。我比他幸福太多。最后森山未来日剧跑时的画幅切换太好了。
可惜即使旧地重游，也无法时光倒流。少年狂，中年丧，为赋新词强说愁，人间正道是沧桑。
岁月缓缓流逝，回忆慢慢追溯.....抓住人心的镜头调度，既隽永又惆怅。森山未来对各个年龄层次的心理拿捏都是比较到位的。
有那种怅然若失的感觉，但有点不太明白那段感情，虽然星空情侣酒店挺好看的。
很喜歡片尾的閃回，還有電視上播著小混混的新聞，回憶過去是萍水相逢幫過自己的好人。
我们都无法丢弃遗忘
这片是有一定人生阅历的人才会看懂看进去 感觉默默的看完一个真实世界的人的大半生 跟若干人的相遇 生命的交织 重叠 分叉 又再重逢或结束 有满足也有遗憾 很感动又很悲伤 整个片十分细腻自然 最后不点题其实主旨都很明显了 我们都无法成为大人 但慢慢的 默默的 我们就是大人 自己在这个年龄感同身受 最后面计程车的真的太棒了 加上配乐拳拳到肉 泪流满脸 男主的演技很厉害 演高中生演社会新人到演职场老手都毫无违和感 东出昌大也有突破不过现实还是渣 导演厉害 这么多角色都交代的清清楚楚 产生的交际选择的故事也很有趣 用这种跳跃的时间线也跟一般的日式鸡汤片拉开距离 拍出一种看散文的感觉 跟着导演的思绪走看完一个有生命力的故事也是一种幸福 谢谢netflix不仅投商业片。
