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.
南印度的“主旋律”大片。肆无忌惮的慢镜头定格和神明附身的超级英雄式动作，花哨的视听语言输出着饱满的民族爱国情绪，但却有着最简单的观影快乐。
却忽视了希特勒同样不惜一切的去渴望去拥有

“我们无法选择自己生活的时代，我们唯一的选择就是如何回应”
当之无愧的神操作，比姆与拉朱在桥上荡秋千开始，神片的属性就冒了出来，之后拿对立的友谊煽情，英国人派对上大跳剽悍的印度舞，死到临头的比姆纵情高歌，暂时让人忽略了神的存在，可互救的段落一来，神迹就变得不可阻挡，摩托车都能当玩具耍。
RRR有史诗级的氛围，细腻的故事，和好莱坞水平的动作特效，这187分钟的印度“超级英雄电影”比神还要神。
131分钟，豆瓣资料又瞎写！欧战前纵欲狂欢……以小见大的视角要避免混乱和乏味，本片凑合……美国大众还想关起门来过日子，上层蠢蠢欲动……元首所谓“纠纷终结”的意思是，不需要“谈”了！墨索里尼坑队友啊！办公室政治……这是政治人物？一切都往好处想？大英帝国真的没落了……国防军最鸡贼，有利益就上，见风险就躲！“希特勒再度让我们为当德国人而骄傲！”狂热是因为没有既得利益……希特勒选角不太像，借表这段有趣！小人物的努力太容易徒劳……种族主义者注定脑残！普通犹太人被双重抛弃……“我会想念你……”张伯伦被明捧实黑！动作戏有点搞笑……行刺者成不了事！噗，慕尼黑阴谋也被洗白“为盟军争取备战时间”，服！
脱离实际历史，演员的演技都很到位，故事也扣人心弦。前半程的镜头晃动来营造紧迫感，有点头晕。 如果联系真实历史，给绥靖政策找一个角度来辩解的话——绥靖政策是给英国本土充分的备战时间，貌似有洗白的嫌疑。
强烈推荐所有不知道看什么的人试一下，真的是惊奇。全程各种笑点的娱乐动作爱国主义教育片。
5.比抗日神剧还神剧，这要是中国人拍，怕不是毕导的待遇.
Emmmm看得不是很认真，节奏舒缓适合静下心来看
他们能做出这种事，就能做出任何事。
看完印度抗战神片，突然感觉中国的合情合理。
配乐和情节还是蛮不错的，当然也是够神的，一个礼拜一顿饭，人家照样引体向上跟玩似的。后面二人合体惊煞我也。视觉效果不错，人物刻画鲜明。
这种历史的厚度感，希特勒在慕尼黑的车上受万人膜拜的场景有一丝感慨。毕竟曾经认真读过这段历史。我对两个男主的立场和想法都并不太看重……因为其实都是历史的洪流，德国战败，英国被摧毁的不成样子。历史的真伪就是交给后人去改造的，因为任何事都是人组成后的结果。世界从不属于弱者，永远是这样。
印度被英國殖民的辛酸血淚史、抗戰革命史，3個小時一次道盡。特別喜歡序幕將兩大男主角用水與火的意象去做刻畫與對比，水與火永不相容，但是當水與火相容的那一天，便是起兵反抗之時。真沒想到同個月可以看到兩部甘古拜的電影，她真的越看越美欸！
甩黑皮鞭，大庭广众，为你涂血痕；
别事后诸葛亮，1938年的德国要干什么，谁能知晓天机？但张伯伦绥靖了没得洗，你一味忍气吞声求来的和平在阿道夫的面前不值一题，英法在苏台德条约中占何便宜？
好可惜。绥靖政策，对于好人是宽容和机会，但对坏人，那就是纵容和资助。揭穿画皮宜早不宜迟，越拖代价越大。导演对张伯伦是支持和尊敬的。因为拖延给了其他国家准备时间，也为最终的胜利奠定了基础，情感上是可以理解的，但是逻辑是未必成立的，并没有强相关。不能由结果去推导原因，这是不严肃和不科学的，当然这是文艺作品，但也不能用力过猛哦。
个体夹杂着爱恨卷入时代的巨大漩涡。不过最后那段字幕太搞笑了，非要把错误说成谋略，难道争取来的时间就是为了法国40几天就被占领，然后敦刻尔克差点全军覆没？
