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.
虽然真的大扯淡，但是很好看诶，作为女儿看到结尾狠狠哭了。田中圭太yasaxi，很想做他小孩试试看。这番重国人不能理解的大怨种剧情，但是如果是十元和咩酱的话也可以接受了（并没有）
总之，这部电影让我看了后有去听《爱的奉献》的冲动——没错，我看完后的确立马就去听了
剧情离谱甚至到中断看到十元包着头巾都猜到结局了……但丝毫不影响插叙倒叙的冲击感和最后高潮的泪点
只要你妈长得美 你爸就可以是梦想家王老五和接盘侠 剧情最后仿佛在催你哭 田中圭俨然成为人夫专业户 看咩酱演高中生竟生出了违和感 爱很伟大与血缘无关 但是这部电影不太行
为了女儿看完，女儿真好看😭
2个小时一点也不觉得久，陷进去了，真的是十分美好的关系呢，石原里美真的好斯国一呢~~~~看完之后突然发觉，原来我不喜欢的不是家庭剧，而是不喜欢国产那些机场理短鸡毛蒜皮一地鸡毛而已
本来想给三四星的但是看了一些短评还是打算给五星，还是那句话不要在作品里找三观，影视作品也好小说作品也好不是给一些道德高地选手找优越感用的，是作者阐述表达含义和传递价值内容的渠道，可以就从喜欢或者不喜欢来评价但是从道德三观我真的是大无语了。故事塑造的妈妈就是一个很特别的人啊，本身就不会是你身边的三姑六婆，不要把自不自私奉不奉献的世俗套到文学作品人物身上去，显得很狭隘好吗？男性角色也好，善人说成大冤种，负责任说成老实人，人生词汇就这么单一到看不起任何故事角色的单纯设定？多线叙事加上人物众多确实有一些些表述不足，结局台词我也有点不喜欢，但感觉是制片方决定要搞“点题”手段，加上传递传承的中心，强行尬了一下。就从故事表现上虽然是能猜的到的剧情，但依旧表现不错，打个四星，多一星是被道德小标兵们逆反的。
七零八落的时间线以为观众都是原著党❓
【02:17:01 BD Rip 1080p 23.976 fps】剧情说不通的，但是好催泪啊
开始是为卡司而来的，看了豆瓣的评分，预期很低，但作品比我想象得更深入人心。怎么说呢，虽然讨厌只有一句对不起，但还是选择了原谅。和《小偷家族》是不能比的啦，剧情有一点轻浮，但也有很细腻的地方呀，看下来还是蛮舒服的
我竟然看哭了并突然get到十元的演技。咩酱真的是可可爱爱，戏里戏外的。
看完的感受就是好奇话， 好奇怪……后来发现自己奇怪的点在于两个过于理想化的继父和除了美貌没有展现出太多其他价值就被不遗余力爱着的继母，在当下亚洲女性微妙的处境下，显得非常不合情理。同时，把继女的爱和未来，完全寄托在并无血缘关系的三个男人身上，这就是爱的接力吗😂最后女儿的结婚结局，更像是完成了从父权到夫权的交接，让我不禁感慨，2022年了还能看到这么立意老套、自我感动的日本电影，实在是难以理解
可惜了一个本可以因演员阵容和再婚家庭的叙事出发点成为神作的作品。
这大概是一部大部分中国人都不能理解的影片。然而正因为它的特殊性才展现了生活中那些奉献与牺牲，痛苦与救赎。也许是篇幅的原因，很多地方的情感都有些仓促。但是永野梨花带雨的大眼睛可以拯救一切
我给四颗星，因为有点意外，更因为有一股淡淡的人文……这般的对人的内心探讨，在天朝下很难看到的（几乎没有）
田中圭，多演爹吧，谢。美女都很美。如果那个女人是十元，倒是也可以理解那几个怨种老公……故事真的土到了。日本人好爱结婚。
有几波反转，前半部分满脸问号，后半部慢慢揭开，这婚结的真草率
咩酱能把所有剧都变得治愈吧～但是这个主题有一丢牵强，看看美女算了
啥叫“所遇皆良善”，要是身边都是这么善良美好的人该多好啊。逃脱现实主义的小温暖，永野芽郁这里的婚纱造型好美啊。
能看到石原里美和田中圭结婚，两个小时的无聊电影也值得了
