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.
她从萨拉到安琪再到萨拉走了一段太曲折苦涩的路，还好她被坚定的他看到再去找，别人可以给解决的短暂漂浮犹疑，只有自己的力量才够勇敢永远。奔着温暖的爱情片收藏，结果太过艰涩残忍，愿一切都被原谅救赎。
I hear you whisper underneath your breath
剧情有点老套，但还是蛮治愈的 但不是每个下定决心救赎的人都能有一个好的结果 这是个幸运的圣母
富有清教徒色彩的爱情电影，男主唯一的主动思想就是一见钟情，后续所有的事情都遵从他的“主”，主命令她救女孩就救，主告诉他女孩有自我意识就放跑。整部电影的节奏，剪辑，过度都略显生硬，劝妓从良的故事披上成长和蜕变的外衣，也是一个旧调重弹的老话题了，没拍出多少新意。加一星给女主颜值了
让我们承认吧，荒谬已是我们生活之常态。nobody even cares，多么可悲的时代。
从19年李医生到现在，我最大的感受就是特别特别特别特别希望灭霸出现
感觉才看2020版没多久，2021版就出来了。最喜欢Philomena Cunk的吐槽。
被爱当然让人快乐 但是有时候有个人值得你去爱更会令人幸福！
男的帅，女的美，剧情很吸引人，只是女主的人生经历让她做出的每一次选择都很让人心酸无奈，而男主呢，世界上真的会有这样的男人存在么
或许大家都有身不由己的苦衷，但这确实是一条不归路啊🙁
让人期待的Death to 202X 又来了！每年元旦前定期观看都有种看元旦联欢晚会的感觉了。6
完美的童话故事，令人难以置信的圆满，即使中途伤痛繁多
宗教味道真的浓，同样的情节，中外拍出来，主题不同
爱情是奢侈品，每个人都想追求它，纯真的、美好的，妓女也不例外！她逃他追，她插翅难飞；爱到最后才发现爱是放手成全，是放虎归山
和Don't Look Up前后脚观看，有种诡异的超现实感，但是剪辑的新闻片段又在提醒着这是真切的发生过的事件/这奇妙的世界/不知道Netflix如何总结即将到来的2022年，我只有一个愿望：新冠去死！
Shit.What a year.Bye 2021 bye.
在祂没有难成的事
有的人用自己的灵魂换取从沙子里淘来的金子 但有些人却将灵魂看的比一切都宝贵 唯有爱可以拯救一切 可以看到1英里比20英里走的更艰难 人生短促 爱你所爱 爱胜过一切艰难和阻隔 当我们都离去的时候 可以肯定的是 所有眼睛能看得到的 没有一样能带的走 但却唯有灵魂和爱常在…… 勾起了退休后到乡村务农的冲动……😂
这个系列我都感觉可以无穷拍下去了~~~每年都能带来各种令人魔幻的内容啊~~把去年疫情的内容放到今年来完全可以无缝对接，这部分以外，比较有意思的就是两党的斗争，如果说去年是BLM造成的麻烦的话，今年占领国会山事件代表着大城市和乡村的彻底决裂。红脖子的戏码还真不错的~~PS： 鱿鱼游戏这戏是还行，但能风靡到如今的程度也是完全理解不能呢~~~
