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.
实不相瞒我点开这个电影的原因是我看封面以为女主是安娜……救命这是什么程度的脸盲SOSSSSS
女主蠢得令人高血压！每次有发现什么就不能走远点在仔细研究吗？！非要在附近容易被发现的地方！！！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
虽然剧情非常老套，但营造的紧张感我挺享受的。学到了一点：有事一定要学会去厕所（想应对对策也好拖延时间也好，关键时刻多少有用），每个人都要要学会保护自己！
如果不是看过韩版的走到尽头，应该还能加颗星…腐败警察撞车逃逸，死的是毒贩，缉毒警察是幕后黑手…
Blair放弃形象的演出还不错，剧情也算紧凑。
一些隐喻真的拍手叫绝!!!
食之无味，弃之可惜吗？不可惜。剧情也比较简单，和闺蜜出去度假，遇到的狗血事情。所谓的一些反转没有多少意义，反派也没有什么战斗力，唯一可以借鉴的就是以后去旅馆还是要小心偷拍狂。
男主角范少勋看上去就像是许君聪的英俊版。
社会地位断裂的人生实际上都有着同样的面孔，画廊中高谈阔论的男人女人，一个个用艺术伪装自己的虚伪，谁又比谁高级？太多男性凝视了，台湾电影能不能不要再拍死肥宅和纤纤美女的猥琐剧情了
3.1 这样的片都是看个开头。套路也有拍得不错的，这个当然不是。
为了反转很多硬伤。应该给司机发个热心市民奖。
抖音看的解说版本……都没看见纳豆那一段……
#TGHFF58 混亂的感情線 建議請隔壁月老劇組幫忙理一下 觀影時候覺得感情的發生無所依靠 劇本的敘事很零碎 在後來的映後談時導演本人也有談到這些問題(所以是在？？)情慾戲再多也沒辦法輔助演員來實現情感的投射 導兒下部拜託認清這點 但范少勳還是很帥
坚持为了Queen B看完。贝丝和老公视频，闺蜜入画瞬间老公表情就变了，我就猜到了😅
赶脚有点类似CCTV6低成本自制剧，不过剧情倒还是紧凑的，就是女主也太素颜了吧。
我一开始还往复杂了猜，比如闺蜜和警方一起做戏实则是为了拐卖女主；司机是卧底；女主记忆断片有玄机，叙述性诡计什么的……结果最后真就毫无波澜啊。
无脑看看还行，千万别想着去推理，警察简直太可笑了. . .
要么好好日，或者有点情节，演的又拙，也没故事…陈以文怎么哪都有他
为了Q B看的这个片子，结局反转地有点奇怪前面查监控都没看完吗？女主不太符合演员在我脑海里的印象，最后那个坡跟鞋就不该出现在她身上.......很别扭，所以看得不太舒服
景美人美看着还挺舒心的。为反转而反转 勉强糊弄的过去
