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.

虽然可能真实，但真的
中年婚姻，同一屋檐下的行尸走肉，同床异梦的夫妻角色扮演者。一潭死水般的生活甚至不如那几通小三姐姐的电话来的有生命力。每个人都在摆烂，因为他们深陷这种泥沼，在里面缓缓躺平了。生活化的流水日常作为影片的主旋律，让人倍感压抑，仿佛与他们夫妻无声的同桌吃饭，食不知味。
某种程度跟阿彼察邦的《记忆》是撞题的，前者用声音轰造梦境为记忆线索，而钱翔太小儿科了，单用声音做臆想去探索婚姻生活和人们心里无底洞的修行。所谓修行，是电话狂响的躁动慌鸣音，是狗乱吠的暴躁音，是饭桌上的咀嚼声，是酒店浴缸的水流声，是婚礼上的礼乐声，是贯穿全剧的颂钵echo音。钱翔做不到从头有逼格到尾，只能落地踩脚婚姻状态，人物状态，两者乱蹿。早在严复生出走60min就可以早早结束，导致后面20min完全失控，完全是陈湘琪撑起了一场又一场的戏，手持摄影的抖动没有加剧人物共情力，只让观众观感泛滥成灾。太空了，太白了，以小文本显大格局显然做的不好，但是比起那些电视剧电影，这完全是一部电影思维的电影。期待陈湘琪的第三部家庭奏鸣曲。
天台上她绝望地呐喊着「谁来帮我开门」，这便是她人生现状的缩影，是百感交集冲昏了头的时刻。所以才会让救人与杀人一线之隔，同疗养院里的疯子还有什么分隔？同自由的飞鸟倒有着玻璃窗紧紧闭锁。
就像是用力挠你痒痒让你笑一样... 无聊到可怕，可能是对于男女主都有一些好感所以就更忍不了这种烂片了，剧情也是乱七八糟，真的很无语哈。
陈湘琪和黄柔闽都演得有点好，让人有点害怕。
这种片子的评价注定两极分化，经历过的会莫名共鸣，没经历过的倍速+快进都看不进去。能提名甚至获奖绝不是凭空而来，男女主演技（本色出演的状态）出神入化，片尾曲锦上添花。婚姻何尝不是这世上最难经营的生意？
剧情很儿戏，最致命的是被短视频提前耗光了惊喜度——本片确实唯一的好看部分在于和静物对话这一设定。另外标签里居然有“爱情”哦，但是王彦霖和焦俊艳真的没有任何CP感，望周知。
这个世界观蛮有趣的，身边突然热热闹闹的，一点也不孤单
成也细节败也细节。戴着戒指的手、抱树的疯狂呐喊、一通电话逐渐勾勒出一个不幸福，且有些神经质的女人。但在剧情的推进上也太拉垮了吧，浪费了演员的表现力。为女演员的情绪感染力加一星。

210916大华 笑点上不少，但是剧情稀碎，演技也尬，焦俊艳和王彦霖可以说毫无cp感，漫画本身的创意其实不错，但是拍出来就变成劝人从善了，片尾彩蛋反而最自然。
只要接受这个神奇的設定 後續的發展都能猜到 顏值還算是不錯的 不愧是島國奇怪的腦迴路 男主在被男高中生勒脖子的時候 突然激發求生欲 也算完全忠於設定了
原来里面关于马桶的搞笑片段是出自这里，哈哈哈
差不多最后半个小时才看懂哪个是目标，最后男主没被杀死也是遗憾（对自己和观众来说）。但是看完依旧没明白重点是什么。可是正装的男主还是很迷人的。
