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.
冲着主角们颜值三星，不过我是真没想到，男主身世居然贯穿了整个系列，太想看第四部还能撒什么狗血了
剧情狗血起来了
悬疑开局，后面转为反抗权势。咋一看感觉不错，但细一想，首先反派的做法实在太低级，其次女主自拍这么大的悬疑到后面竟然是无实际意义的……
女主爸爸出现，解释了女主为啥会虎背熊腰……
全篇流水账……男女主不狗血了 上一辈开始了是么……
他妈的 狗血剧情 要不是帅哥美女我看个锤子 他妈的 第四部不见不散😅
真就对这种片子欲罢不能了 男女主这一季的颜值比起上一季提升太多
男人对性的渴望和表达不是罪恶，但未经他人意愿将自己的性渴望加诸在他人身上就是一种恶。自己玩自己没有人反对哈
这个电影其实可以特别低成本的，剧情啊拍摄制作什么的根本都不需要，就，滚动放几张Channing Tatum的写真照，我等目标观众就可以一直看的
4.结尾实在太升华了
6.5分。很少见的印尼电影，不过挺难理解一张喝酒的照片就怎么导致社死的，可能还是不同社会风气的关系吧。前半段的各种翻脸挺好看的，但后半段涉及到社会深层次不平等的部分，基本也只能点到即止，算是有些可惜吧。
好家伙是谁没忍住又点开了之后3😅这就是个一年一更的剧嘛。救命什么时候网飞青春剧才能让我不心动啊🥺好想抱抱赫汀宝贝
忘说了…第一部在女主和高中生分手回到宿舍之后，竟然很磕女主和她舍友。
😓呃...只能说上一代的狗血，I knew it...太套路了，但希望第四部能细讲。
所以tessa的上司是hardin的亲爹，校长被戴绿帽，亲爹的老婆一直都知道此事，而hardin亲妈的现任老公还蒙在鼓里，然后hardin恨了那么多年的爹竟然恨错人了，狗血到上一代去了，绝了。
第一：只有我一个人觉得男主越长越残了吗？远没有第一部看的那么酷那么帅了。第二：只有我一个人觉得男主走路的姿势很别扭吗？第三：全剧就是变着花样说“我爱你”，变着花样啪啪啪，但是能不能有点剧情呢？啥玩意儿
这个电影其实可以特别低成本的，剧情啊拍摄制作什么的根本都不需要，就，滚动放几张Channing Tatum的写真照，我等目标观众就可以一直看的
很好啊，克制有力量。最关键的，我们也可以吗？
知道剧情狗血不下去了开始发展父母线了是吧…😅我竟然把这三部看完了，竟然还to be continue…男女主之间相处就是，吵架，睡一觉，和好，吵架(…)这不愧是小年轻哦🤔
剧情有点混乱，至少印尼已经不靠鬼片来宣示人权了
