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.
好像说了什么，又好像什么都没说，过于碎片化了。美波真好看！
眼睛却贪婪地将你吸进
行走江湖，字可以歪，人要正。
“我还以为上了大学会不一样，但是哪里都一样。”
终于把心意传达到了你所在的大海。短暂内心的平静，窗外的雨声比海浪声平稳。
就是想说点什么又什么都没说。。。。。
作为一部网剧，可以看出用心了，支持下，消遣娱乐看看。
色调不错 没看懂想表达什么 连故事性都没有
缺点很明显，不想多说了。下雨的时候，我们再见吧。
最喜欢最后用动画的方式表达出的那个吻。她们活的太克制了，可能只有在想象中才有勇气勇敢一次吧。
前半太平了，以至于要不是实在无聊都不会看下去。从后四分之三开始，换一个视角之后终于开始舒服起来，总算有点剧情了。换视角之前三星，换视角之后四星。
音浪 泉阳泉 烤串 洗浴 民间非法借贷，啊我深爱的长春！
堇始终没能面对真正的自己，在被海啸吞噬的时候才能在走马灯里释放。雪乃也终究没有来得及表达自己的想法，心里有千思万绪但也被压抑在了婆娑的泪眼里。霓虹金真的很喜欢沉浸在谜语里，反复地折磨自己，导演想要胃疼，但是力度不够，太含蓄了。
个人不太希望中间插入灾害幸存者和遗族的采访，因为这个故事是属于堇和真奈的，没有人知道堇在那一瞬间感受到了什么，事后一直放不下堇的也只有真奈。
“安心到底是什么呢？””是有个人能深深地爱着你，凡事优先考虑你。“”深深地，深深地“
栋栋还有梁龙的客串哈哈哈 连宋小光都不尴尬了 白事题材赶到一起了 有不同的风格 崔志佳真的可以 不会让人失望
片子想表达的东西是有表达出来的，但是有点淡，其实人啊就是要大胆一点，明天会发生什么谁都说不准，想念的时候不要嘴硬，爱的时候不要退缩，堇和真奈是双向暗恋，最后却只留真奈一个人孤独的思念，到最后也没能知道彼此的心意，只有一个人被遗忘了才算是真正的离开人世，相信真奈会永远记得堇的，永远不会遗忘堇
演员有熟脸，笑点也密集，煽情不过度，佳佳这回导的能看。 故事免不了有欠缺，也没有摆脱一贯的先喜后悲套路，但总体放在网大里还行。 前50分钟搞笑整挺好，脸脸的隐形眼镜有被笑到，子栋长胖了好稀奇，二手月季真的过分，哈哈哈哈
开了两倍速还是觉得发展好慢，中间一度走神玩手机了...一分给景色，一分给剧里的唯一一次kiss吧...
鹅…这个…只有6.3分是有道理的，真没意思
