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.
只能说是补充了剧情，真的很失望，狐妖小红娘本来是我很看好的国漫，这部片子的画风差劲，台词也很尴尬，打斗场面很敷衍，虽然是免费观看，但是与其这样我宁可他收费用心做好每一集，我打两颗星，一方面是表达我对其的失望，另一方面是希望给敲响警钟。期待后面的篇章！
剧情发展的有点快，不过后面还是被感动到，黑狐简直阴魂不散，很多cp都因为黑狐be了
本狐妖死忠粉，每一篇都最少看过不下5遍的看完，真的跟吃了屎一样难受，敷衍两个字简直要印在脸上了。主要人物脸、结构、动作姿态全都崩得不行，整个动画水平放20年前可能才有人看得下去吧，我都能数出来几笔画的，台词完全不对嘴无数次让人出戏，更不要提什么东方月初的腹肌，霸业的脸，王权富贵脑袋中间的一缕头发，真的全部又丑又莫名其妙。
这么多人能做到多而不乱且性格鲜明，氛围塑造也相当紧凑到位，冲突设计也足够真实，每个人都有自己的事要处理，有温暖也有压抑，尤其是像我在餐厅打工过对这片子更有同感。
我的天啊，胸小加黑布，你把涂山雅雅的小时形象的毁了，就是为了过审，真有你的官方，其他人物总感觉怪怪的。
为了赚钱，也是拼了，10分钟新货扯出来60几分钟故事
人生百态，说不上是一部惊悚片，更像是文艺范的剧情片
曾经澳洲留学在法国餐厅里打工，经理总是说“不要让客人等待”催单，服务生也有一个gay，水吧也是气氛活跃组，洗碗也有一个黑人，一切都很像，回忆回来了。
一镜到底是种形式 用在这一个混乱的晚上实在是适合不过了
第一次看的时候最喜欢红红女神，一直想着快出来，后面再看的时候，感觉苏苏好可爱啊，奶声奶气的
还记得狐妖小红娘当时我说出东方月初死时的年轻版我就看，但看了那一幕着实有点失望，我的美人啊
一镜到底很高级吗？浪费我一个半小时看个焦虑。
终于看到了月红的结局，其实苏苏就是失去记忆和妖力的红红吧。
剧情就是把之前不少经典场面调快了画丑了再放一遍，全是泪点的部分看着只想吐。没有对比真就没有伤害，但凡看过前面的，就知道这一部分画得多么难以接受。很明显的就是人物没有神，眼完全没有东西，但至今的一百多集里，人/妖物眼神都能动人。
真的好看，好久没看过这么好看的电影了，希望有越来越多的好电影看，真的非常棒啊，我很喜欢，演员演技也很棒
画风真的让我想打一星，什么玩意儿，我的红红画成那样，剧情也是失望，还以为会有多些感情戏，没想到还是跟剧版里的差不多，中间的几处滤镜也看得很不舒服，好歹是狐妖出的第一部电影，就这？真的失望
虽然狐妖向来不怎么做打斗戏，一前还好，大戏不够喊叫来凑，到红红月初决斗时，我傻了，除了用纯质阳炎就没别的了，喜羊羊与灰太狼都比这燃吧。
画风奇奇怪怪，东方月初和涂山红红的脸看着感觉就像由3D转入2D了一样，画质也不太行。抛开这些，剧情发展也大部分是缝合了之前的故事线，不过也算是串起了一条完整的线，有些之前没看明白的看了这里之后恍然大明白了。
一直在追的国漫，每个篇章都能给予我力量，看到特别篇就麻溜地看了，真的很好看
当初看到正剧月红的时候就感觉这部分没展开，这部很好的把坑填了，至于画风画质结构什么的，就不计较了。那个时候黑狐还是一片海苔，这里至少有个样子了。不过时间线的部分有些不明，之前东方月初向王权霸业展示黑狐，那时候东方还没死。但是按照这里的时间线是王权富贵被绊住了，东方死后他才去抓的黑狐。这里出现了矛盾，还是觉得作者在驾驭庞大故事的功力上略有不够。但是如果说和正剧分开算就像日漫的剧场版一样的话，那在这里填坑也不会让人信服啊，怎么算都会有矛盾。
