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.
其实是披着调那个教外衣的办公室爱情电影，连吻戏就那么一两个，尺度一点都不大哈哈。李濬荣演得可以啊！哭起来让人心疼，笑起来让人想摸，而且长得好帅好乖！！！嗷嗷嗷！他太像一个大狗狗了！
虽然故事简单俗套，不过电影的氛围感还是营造的很足的。
遇见接受假面下的真实的我的人
6.5分。披着情色片外衣的纯爱片~~~打着SM的套路，骨子里却是个爱情喜剧，实际也没太多露骨的内容。整个电影还是太过四平八稳了一些，说到这个就想起同类型的《秘书》，东西方文化还是有不少差异啊~~~~
有种合家欢的味儿，好久没看这么纯正的爱情片了。突然发现一个大矛盾，在男主身上，特殊爱好仿佛是天生需要被尊重的；而女主又证明了兴趣可培养……太奇怪了吧。
披著「變態」的外衣，講述純愛。棒子電影這方面是真高手。
3.5 我觉得是有让大家包容多元的教育意义的，理想化韩剧结尾也挺好。
棒子还是太保守了点以至于和那充满色相的预告片比起来简直逊了不知道有多少，尺度方面还是不要和《五十度灰》系列比了，被甩了不知道有几条街，顶多算是《十五度灰》吧。套着SM皮的纯爱片，嗯…总之看了是相当的无感了。（ps这前女友角色真是如同演职人员表一样完全是可有可无了）
个人很喜欢，两个主角在D/S方面都挺完美无缺的，一个天使主人（太厉害了！这种责任感我从来就找不到），一个很可爱的狗狗。只能说这样的相遇最后变成恋人真的好难好难，里面有一些地方狠狠的触碰到我。sub忍耐的眼神永远是dom最爱的吧。最后sub被束缚转过身来亲吻dom，就是ds走向恋爱的落点了，我觉得设计的很棒。
徐贤还是很美啊，我记得我读书时喜欢过她耶。男主演小狗也太像了吧😂。
我敲！hgr也太會拍了吧！我也要想一隻忠實聽話的狗狗！電影的氛圍感太強了，某種不知名的xp被勾起來了！被皮鞭抽打時呼在鏡子上的熱氣也太性感了吧！每個人都有自己獨特的性需求，這不是什麼值得被羞辱的事情。
开始的几十分钟觉得比想象中好，但后面时装秀一般地走BDSM各种游戏的过场就很奇怪了，科普片吗？
套了一个博眼球的话题来讨论一个纯情无比的真爱话题，但是既遮遮掩掩又完全不动人。虽然男主还有些小帅，但我一把年纪了你就给我看这些？！
最后怎回事，前面恶趣味满满，最后又落入俗套
看的时候我一直觉得男主像谁，后来想起来了，不就是王爷吗，太像王子奇了
男主真像小狗，还有泪痣，导演会选~~但两个人之间的所谓BGSM关系令人失望，不是说重不重口的问题，而是挂羊头卖狗肉，本质上还是小清新爱情片。
好一个入门“SM”纯爱片儿啊 … 【李俊荣】又帅又可爱！
题材很好，李𣿰容演的也很带感，然而不够禁。
男主开头太夸张了，既然都明白这玩意儿不能随便暴露怎么还那么莽……
原来走个擦边球啊以为是棒子的五十度灰，结果看了个爱情轻喜剧。想想十年前韩国还能拍《色即是空》那样作品如今这种就算不得了。看来小奶狗还是喜欢御姐范儿，倒是徐珠贤演的御姐谁又能抵挡得了？少女时代出道的都是女中豪杰！致情人节
