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.
除了反派都有点脑残其他还行，难得黑了一把奥巴马zf
衰成这样浑身是伤的 还能那么拼命救人 了不起
攀岩➕惊悚，题材有点新，但女主的剧情能动性比较弱，几乎靠反派自己作死。
btw番茄电影真nb 未上映的都能看
一个恶人带坏三个人杀了女主闺蜜后被女主顽强反杀
画面拍的不错，看的出来是很用了心的。故事前半部分还不错，后半部分从私奔后就开始跨、开始散，一直到最后就感觉找不回来整个架构了。为这么个渣男，还如此念念不忘，即使很帅但我还是不李姐….
印度的同影都能拍的这么棒，出乎我的意料，虽然姐弟爱上同一个男人的设定多多少少有点狗血，但是瑕不掩瑜，很多桥段有致敬call me by your name，每个人都应该有段刻骨铭心的爱情呀
cast还行，一路逃命的公路片，前期男女主秀恩爱，然后车祸，陷入政治kidnapped阴谋，跌跌撞撞逃到大使馆求救无奈外交官也在该kidnapped事件中干预想让男主干脆沦为事件中“倒霉”的人，可惜男主开挂各种反杀最后从四五层楼左右的停车场找好时机跳下来，瓦解绑匪的阴谋释放人质。整片节奏不错，喜欢这类逃亡惊悚型剧情
以个人的血肉之躯试图在政治的角力中挣扎出一条活路，以“错误的人”的模式承载出一个悲剧性，伤痕累累的角色。
充满抱负的作家爱上了家里的神秘租客，而他自由奔放的妹妹也爱上了此人。接下来发生的事件撼动了他们传统的家庭。
剧情稀碎，毫无观感，大范围高噪点模式点缀着地中海阳光，看得晃眼 @Netflix
国外版的“周末去爬山”，显然男主比秦昊更狠。
就还行，但是基底还是有问题的，在一个连女性奴性地位都没有抗争出来的国家又是如何来抗争少数性群体呢？所以最后还是在父权制度里的弱势群体与弱势群体之间的情感对抗，何必？
刚开始还以为男主是跟老师，没想到是跟房客，吻戏野战在43分钟，这剧拍得节奏很缓慢前面暧昧有一段时间我看得睡着了，之后剧情就非常厉害了，48分钟有一个撞桌捏橘子🍊的镜头好形象、1:06那半个苹果🍎也像溥仪被赶出紫禁城的那天，1:15老师一脸懵逼接盘还被一条咸鱼嫌弃，房客有句话说得好：我喜欢的东西很多，可一但得到了就都不喜欢了，好渣但真实，还擅长拐跑好人家的孩子，1:20分弟弟还梦到三人行
主线故事稍有drama，小人物的故事反而更能打动我，尼姑的秘密照片，老师的悲惨经历～(இдஇ;)（如今科技可以让我们发现彼此，但孤独依旧是永恒命题）
其余部分拖沓无味充满了小成本但完全不质朴而只剩做作的运镜和戏多的配乐。至于男主怎么从一个弱鸡游客变成深受重伤还能徒手暴打 N 个 armed agents 的美国队长，这不重要。可取的是希腊的破败混乱氛围和 rally 事发时的慌乱压抑倒是 capture 得非常接地气。
青春女孩爱攀岩，两男同行将其害，斗智斗勇斗体力，终胜坏蛋把山登。
三星半，前半段很美，后半段很奇怪，最后还是女人之间的互助更有趣很感动
很一般，特效跟不上所以只能硬剪。自己爬半天，人家溜溜达达跑她头顶去了，山是水泥山，哈哈哈
剧情随时间越来越拉跨。坏男一号用事实证明走小道比垂直攀岩快，还省力。另外三个跟班男太软弱，留在世上也是浪费粮食。特效一般，镜头运用一般，让人感觉不出悬崖峭壁和高度感，女主就好像在离地三尺和坏人对峙。
