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.

理解，但基于个人立场不喜欢，提供高质量情欲体验的圣人和言行举止非常维多利亚时期的白人女性，这样的梦幻组合就像少女浪漫爱情文学那样不现实，甚至会作为坏榜样，但有其治愈性。again，基于个人立场的偏见。
一间房、两个人的长片，编剧可以封神了。一开始，看到两个人开房，我暗想：“不要露点、不要出现啪啪啪镜头”。完全符合观影预期。如果一开始啪啪啪，就定了情涩的调了，就俗套了。编导很清楚这点，所以影片清新脱俗。实际还是情涩片，只不过是注重精神内涵、不以视觉刺激取胜的情涩片。性的主题、欲望话题从始至终。每个眼神、每句台词、每个镜头，充满性暗示。但导演的克制，俘虏了观众，从心甘情愿“求而不得”，到最后“高潮”。前面95分钟是“前戏”，最后2分钟是“X高潮”。
旁观者清的外国人是看的更透彻一点
靠，梅梅冲回去抱住她的小红熊猫的那一刻我果然没忍住又泪崩了，皮克斯可以，算是把中式母女关系嚼巴明白了//不过这不还是跟Encando讲的一个故事吗？连获得奇幻能力的原因都一样，不过小熊猫实在太可爱了。
有点硬，但换个角度想，一些东西为什么会成为“刻板”或许是有道理的。最共情的地方竟然是追星现场……我也好想看线下演唱会啊淦
「It's a very powerful thing. Sexual fulfilment. It made me feel invincible. I hadn't realised. I wish I'd know sooner, when I was younger. I'd have made the necessary changes. → At least you've done that now.」
女主说她丈夫死后她再也不会去假装高潮，而观众似乎也不必因为终镜看到了高潮而非得表态满意过程。“双人斗室由性开论”是一种亚类俗套。相对最近的罗马房间、马德里1987，稍远的那部著名的都市仲夏夜……应该说把玩此类素材，英人自有其独到的叙事武器：冷幽默。各种荤腥术语脱口而出然后在对其进行诙谐自讽。可这种特色能量半个小时之后也就像女主的婚姻生活那样陷入乏味，更别说撑满90多分钟？实在太难！这时又不敢像法国人那样用全然放开随性自然的大尺度去助燃（说助燃其实不够准确，“坦诚相待毫无顾忌”应该是此类题材的头号标配！若非如此便不足以弥补不换场景俩人话唠还不是喜剧所必然产生的单调乏味。大家想想是不是这个道理？），甚至为了避免“说到做到”还要反复依靠女儿的电话来给自己“救场”？
当然，前面评价的是演员，后面我想说——我很高兴在我年轻的时候认识这部电影。Thanks，IT really teaches me a lot....
Pressure pushing down on you and me.深入谈话和性爱都是一种释放，把自己最脆弱的地方交出去。
中国传统家庭中成长的矛盾和与父母的冲突为主题，内涵简单，但是故事精彩纷呈。红色小熊猫的形象更是可爱喜人，每一个动作都透露着青春期女孩的可爱，更何况歌舞俱佳，美术一流，《心灵奇旅》之后最好看的迪士尼动画（03/13 晚上看完，03/14 晚上又在朋友家二刷） @Disney+
大失所望。➊假；➋狭隘；➌酸腐；➍势利。
成长什么的不重要，红熊猫太可爱了太可爱了，妈妈熊真的巨大一只哈哈哈哈哈哈
怎么说呢，和刻板印象无关，还是故事本身偏弱，以致于最后一句“中心思想”也比较生硬，但是这个变形但是可以让学生去和《变形记》来比较一下
中间很感动，又有多少人选择抛弃心中那只猛兽呢
西方电影中的中国元素经常是粤港台风味，中国字是繁体字，角色言语是粤语，弄不弄就要舞狮，家里经常有牌位供奉，这种文化并不是中国文化的主流，所以经常会被中国观众所嫌弃。本片就是如此，本片中的角色都是外籍华人，生活的区域是外国的唐人街，还出现了道士作法等封建迷信剧情，这些剧情并不能代表真正的中国文化。这种伪中国文化电影是不可能引进国内上映的。
影片到最后二十分钟的画面情节音乐每一趴都撞击在我的泪点上，很久没有看一部片子这么哭过了，温馨治愈又无敌可爱。导演怎么会想到用red panda来为青春期的叛逆以及成长的烦恼做类比，毛茸茸的让人根本无法抗拒。片子从头到尾的”母系元素”也是一个很打动人的点，角色设定和桥段设定都非常讨巧。
我选择成为我自己。这个世界比较没用就是情绪宣泄，比如说什么你知道又能怎么样呢？仿佛你真的知道了一样，所有的东西你都要先知道了再说，在你不知道之前，你不需要任何的表示，我现在不和人争吵了，因为开始意识到，每个人只能在他的认知水平基础上去思考，以后有人告诉我2+2=10时，我会说，你真厉害。”
有点get不到，既然想好了做为什么又絮絮叨叨絮絮叨叨...而且一直刺探别人的私生活就真的很无理啊，都说了是自己的选择了。现实生活中有修养这么好的男妓吗...Leo真的非常非常非常nice了。诚实的面对自己的欲望这点还是挺好的，想到隔壁以色事人才叫贱，真的还有太长的路要走了。emma的小虎牙太迷人了。
woman power，还挺棒的关于母女关系、成长与自我意识觉醒的故事，虽然难免有些俗套和东方的刻板印象，不过小熊猫实在是太可爱了。。。这个不引进真的可惜了
