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.
你别说，其实还行，特别是打戏，比某些好看多了，哈哈。就是剧情直接了些。
评论说什么埃及风景很美，大哥没事吧扣图这么拉垮。其实是个很感人爱情故事。人为了爱情什么事情都做得出来。
阿婆这本名著，本来前期铺垫就很长，但是她基本上前期虽然是在讲各个人的故事，但最终却巧妙的融合到了一起，但这最新版却拍的太温吞水了，看不出巧妙，就看出冗长，另外为了适应目前的流行的政治正确的风向，给改了很多，但改的让人觉得并不舒服，相反突兀，勉强三星
3.电影关于埃及的风景描述不错
本片波洛：帅气逼人，烟不离手，满世界旅行，擅长推理，武力值点满，万花丛中过片叶不沾身，最后还在埃及打怪。综上所述，此版波洛的最佳扮演者应该是——空条承太郎
还行，视觉特效很多，想去埃及，但是故事情节毕竟翻拍，一般点。
喝了两杯gin才能熬完整部片子没有提前离席
没看过书也半路猜到凶手，推理真的啥也没拍出来
你别说，其实还行，特别是打戏，比某些好看多了，哈哈。就是剧情直接了些。
比上次的《东方快车谋杀案》好，但是也就好那么一点而已。盖尔·加朵当然漂亮，只不过原著里的琳内特年龄才21岁，于是96年的梅芙实在青春无敌，短发漂亮极了，虽然造型由于过于罗比了，但是都是大美女啊。塌了房的锤子再也爱不起来了，怎么看都不像是落魄的穷人，04电视剧版的西蒙特别帅，让人相信富家女的一见钟情富家女的下嫁。盖尔一看就是聪明脸（我没有说布朗特看上去不聪明），怎么会爱上石油大亨？
我可太喜欢这个结局了，又蠢又坏的西蒙最后和他的假装不在一起的女朋友一起挂了，就他妈赶紧照进现实，让马熊cp葬在一起吧。群戏太棒了，就是吧其实西蒙的不在场证明明显有漏洞啊，还有布克他妈说红色颜料找不到的时候其实就已经看得出问题了
意外的好看，简单流畅，是一种思路，简单的介绍下犯罪分子的流程，然后就开始抓人，没《警察故事》《警察故事2》那么多虐心的画面和纠结的选择，希望以后继续拍下去，把释小龙也拉来搞个东北警察宇宙
哎您好，我是李红旗，是一名人民警察。…… →「海龟先生」乐队主唱李红旗在另一个平行世界的故事。……
长评→原著，78年版&叙述，拍摄手法
惺惺作态的表演，虚情假意的台词，矫揉造作的镜头。
谢苗回归之路不太好走啊，不过质量是可以的。
没想到2022年竟然还能看到那么假的背景合成
在习惯了导演莫名其妙自导自演出演/导的第一部《东方快车谋杀案》之后，第二部看到波洛出场的我已然不是那么惊讶（虽然他把波洛刻画成了一个有点神经质的人instead of神秘）但恕我直言，众位演员都有点心不在焉吧？先不说无实景全搭布这一点了吧？（是连去埃及拍戏的钱都没有吗那还拍什么呢还拍？）故事里非要出现两个黑人？原著是什么时候的哪个国家的事情搞清楚了吗？有黑人吗？PR是不是要把魔爪伸到每一部电影里？所谓的艺术创作自由呢？男主的演技就像在做梦，女主的演技就像…算了盖尔加朵哪有演技呢？
相当可以，动作戏很出彩，对谢苗算粉转路转粉吧 哈哈
其实东北警察没那么能打。但鉴于香港警察也没那么能打不也拍的武功高强吗，所以也算合理。。。就是这个黑社会搞定了所有生意人却没搞定警察内部的人，算是没那么聪明啊。。。男主老婆真不错，这么支持警察工作的女人少有了，尤其那句“工作丢了也不怕，我养你啊”，多感人😄
