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.
有人在全程划水，我不说是谁。还有出场的从者几乎全员哑巴无配音，b站随便找个宝具剪辑都比这好看。
看到一半我寻思为啥我对这部剧情了如指掌，以至于内心毫无波动，原来是我玩过FGO啊，还一起打过魔神柱，之前完全忘了……
蛮轻松好看的。穿着礼服骑车，喝汽水，打水漂真的很酷！
窝 最终确定 奈虚氏 在动态影像呈现上 相对于 文字/视觉小说 是完全不行的。其实这一点在F/EX LE上就特别明显叻。如果把LE做成 游戏 风评不会这么差。
挺不错的下饭剧 前面真的每集都有笑点 中间成长 很喜欢
尽管知道剧情，还是泪目了好几次。声优太少，宝具演出太少，还是差了点意思
女主长着一张大学生or从大学毕业没几年的脸，却演刚从high school毕业的准大学生…… 片名和海报明明已经把氛围带出来了，剧本却使劲拖后腿。东一榔头，西一棒槌，什么都没讲清，更别说讲好…… 评论说俗套，俗不等于烂啊，看这类片就是图夏夜、大海、沙滩、轻松、浪漫等等。哪怕只图氛围，这片也没做好
女主爸爸是老友记里Rachel 的同事，感觉他很适合演这种不讨人喜欢的角色哈哈。女孩子真的太棒了，girls help girls!
这部剧场版的优点在于真的把画面做出来了，缺点在于分镜和演出差强人意，尤其是医生放宝具的时候，过于关注台词而没有做好演出，显得自己的牺牲毫无意义，这就是经典的“动画没做明白”。
总算看了，怎么说……其实FGO相关的各部动画化都挺拉垮的，最大的毛病就是节奏怪异，以及配乐使用不当，该燃该感动的时候却长时间留白，我寻思着你型月也不是没钱吧（）这部也是同样的问题，明明无脑燃一波都比现在这个好，声优都舍不得用吗)偏偏加一大堆无聊的嘴炮……游戏里看字还好，放动画里真的挺烦的（而且造成情绪断层）。不过有些画面还是做得挺好，一个已经半出坑的老马斯塔鼻子酸酸的，真舍不得国服号。。（喜欢幼帝和医生所罗门ver的部分，太美丽了我的妻子，，，）最后的王の锐评和肉搏对拳我真的笑了
三星半。Vans BMX大电影。没有什么drama，夏日chill青春片，里面的青少年角色包括party都是很平易近人的设定，这点加分。
I hope I could enjoy this without feeling guilty or embarrassed cause it’s kinda sweet and this makes me feel sad ;)
网飞青春爱情片内核几乎不变一直在换人换场景看得好没意思
名字翻译好美 想到去Conny island坐过山车的某次夏天旅行
女主一副营养不良 说话扭扭捏捏的样子，看着没劲;剧情老土就算了，文艺到能催眠。
吵吵闹闹的爱情轻喜剧我是欢迎的，本片女主亮眼，但内容上实在过于匮乏，没有爆点，只有满目的虚无。然后，我看到了我想要的。美国家庭问题，我已经不知道我看了有多少部美国电影了，但是我可以说，看过的大部分电影，只要出现美国家庭，过半不是已经离婚，就是在离婚的路上，并且各种另结新欢。
都玩元气弹搞英灵大集结了，场面贫瘠战斗作画不如第七章不说，出现时连个众人在一起的画面都不肯给，第二波英灵打盖提亚时，全员默片演出，声优战斗声音都没有个个和木偶似的，咕哒夫和盖提亚肉搏突出一个省事。
你的青春我的青春好像不一样~~
