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.
TV动画第6话~第10话总集篇《浅草篇》
世良的戏份也太多了吧，我现在无比希望把她的戏匀给黑鸡。弹幕让黑鸡干脆来长城告白笑死。
TV特别版，《名侦探柯南》偶像剧特别篇。都几十年了，上百起案件，还真有人在意每次侦破案件的过程和逻辑么。一次《红之校外旅行》内容上比近年剧场版稍好，也是有限。反倒世纪之吻才是本片重点，拉拉扯扯多少年了，终于开始交往了。偶像剧的段落可画的比案件部分要有趣多了。
清楚记得当时的热搜关键词，官宣。这俩还需要官宣？这不是从第一集开始就知道的吗？二十多年了整这么一出？差不多得了啊，真的恶心人嗷。
少有的全片大部分都是新一出场的剧场版，你们才开始决定交往吗？？不是第一集开始就在交往了吗？？ 台配版很有回忆感，原汁原味。
犯人：我都靠杀错人给你们制造登场机会了到头来你还是没有A上去
整部片子的亮点就是这次打斗从各个角度展示了一下水之呼吸基本都有什么招数
我就想说怎么那么多剧场版。但是剧情那么熟悉。难道我把漫画自己脑补了吗。原来本身就是动画合集啊。
