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.
轻松浪漫爱情喜剧哈，俗套但也看进去了，艾玛和小男孩的戏有意思。

纯纯无语住了，这个男主为女主做过什么吗，做成什么了吗？好一个loser，甚至只是在有选择的时候挑了一个鼓励他不嫌弃他的“好女人”罢了，女主图他什么，做他的备胎还幸福上了？
奈何影片质量差点。
有一点点像1997年的《不知不觉爱上你》，都是为了让前任回到身边而结成联盟，但是个人观感觉得有点平淡……
完全没必要牺牲，犹豫那一阵早他妈钻回来了。中规中矩吧
结尾，“原以为我们挪威是石油国家，其实还是一个海洋国家”，态度转变很好，起码有了一种人与自然共存而不是互噬的觉悟。当我们面对环境污染、资源浪费的议题，任何国家都必须要有人类共同体的协作意识，而不是政治宣传中对气候女孩格雷塔进行丑化和羞辱的那一套，打贫富不均牌、打富国制订规则牌，在环境议题中哭穷是可耻的，毕竟破坏环境只会更穷、恶性死循环里的穷，同时对地球的损坏是不可逆且“一损俱损”的“囚徒困境”中最糟糕的状况。同样的，海底钻井的石油泄漏如同亚马逊被焚烧的热带雨林，都必须及时遏止并不惜任何经济代价。无论如何，经济是人类社会抽象的发明，可以使用政治手段解决，而对自然的破坏则是实际的破坏。墨西哥湾的泄漏事故尚只有一口油井，而挪威这次对海底地质的破坏则波及350口油井，题材本身足以拍出一部警世之作。
浪漫又温暖，猜得到结局的爱情电影，也有关于恋爱和分手值得思考的点，氧气罩的伏笔不错~
本片还挺应景，正好在这个节骨眼上，提到了整个欧洲的痛点，北海油田。（地图来自公众号：地球知识局）
搭档的存在就是为了最后那一拉吗，史蒂安是专业的，应该为这一事故负责。

拍的还挺好的，不过这同事为了救他俩死了有点说不过去啊
Marc Platt真的不是照着自己儿子在拍这部片子的吗……【Ben Platt应该在家痛哭为什么这个本子没早十五年交到自己家手上吧【
还不错，喜欢这种叙事风格和情节，北欧的剧情就好像其装修一样，演绎一股北欧风，内咧，不过分张扬，冷静，但是我喜欢这样。
我感觉这故事我看过……上一个这类型的ex还是草莓过敏给女主涂枕头上了。没有任何亮点……看完觉得黄阿丽和刘玉玲的流媒体romcom好冤，竟然在一个range.
看过电影看评论，发现都对男二的死大吐其糟，说明看的大多是单身🐶，因为只有单身才有时间上网看电影。而且评论很中国。
“原以为我们是个石油国家，但其实我们是个海洋国家。”
太典型的套路了,开个开头知道结尾,你要是搞个真都和前任复合了,还算你有创意
六人双线清新脱俗的小妞电影, 关于爱情，就是要找到那个人，让你“feel slow burn and get you under the skin that's your airplane safety mask person. "~~
不怎么好看！剧情和演员的演技也不行！还是别去看了！不太好看！
