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.
男主让人想起郭嘉贾诩。电影本身节奏太慢，看的很困，远没有“南山的部长们”精彩。。。PS：金大中的竞选史在韩国影响力已经大到这个地步了么？
真tm高级。国内也有人能写出来，但拍不出来，准确地说播不了。
尤其是“17年后”…
过于直白、刻意、油腻、聒噪的抓马政治题材电视剧。
又一部反映上世纪韩国政坛的作品，与《南山的部长们》相比，天生就缺少戏剧冲突和看点，所以情节弱一些，不能完全拿来比较，要是比较也是应该跟其他反映前总统事迹的电影比，比如《辩护人》，但是《辩护人》虽讲了前总统的故事，但是是从政前的故事，一时想不起应该跟谁对比。这部电影两大主演都是实力派，韩国可以肆意拍摄政府题材，可拍的点太多了
充满了谎言、算计、背叛的政治真让人厌恶。
影片的制作思路是采取双主角的形式，通过两个男主角之间的对手戏推进的故事的发展，薛景求和李善俊两名实力派演员，对手戏演技使整个影片的气氛推向高潮。
“但我喜欢你站在灯光下的样子”
既要能让有良知的人上位，也要允许台面下的阴影存在。但无法反过来，阴影就是见光死，然而阴影未必无良知。
卑鄙是卑鄙者的通行证，
慢慢的剧情跌宕，人员演技爆表，选举的压迫感迎面而来。背后操手，为了实现梦想的原班人马，感叹，拍的真好。
韩国什么都能拍啊。政治就是一种玩弄宣传的游戏。有正义感的总统VS不顾一切的幕僚。影子为什么总想走到前面呢？
根據被譽為「亞洲的曼德拉」的韓國總統金大中與影子謀士嚴昌祿的事跡改編.
格调、立意，故事性与思想性都能兼顾。就拍摄技术上，他们的特写对人物皮肤的处理，光影的应用，显得质感十足。
7.3/10 我们赢了，我们就是正义 多么讽刺啊
幕僚吧，都是在阴影里面的弄权者，李善均的声音真的是很有特色，电视剧大叔里面就发现了，不去演话剧都可惜了

老实说我是抱着很高的期待看此片的，也确实有点看头，但问题也很明显。对历史的演义，就说选举策略这事，当年受条件所限，自然不可能有如今大数据分析这些手段，而且一切都是开先河之举，想到做到就已经不易，这是历史赋予的逻辑合理性。但你是今人，要迎合今人的审美趣味，就不能仅满足于和观众达成某种谅解，你得超越。这样一个谋士在今人眼中并无丝毫高明之处，他若自始至终不摇摆，则更是了无生趣，即使往政治中注入正义的鸡血，也是枉然。打个比方，你塑造诸葛亮，也得重塑才有成功的可能性，就算伎俩无法升级，也该极尽斗智之能事，把谋略做得更花哨更传奇一些。就这点遗憾。几个主要角色的演技都还在线，情感、心理都到位，叙事很成熟很韩国。
所以 可以说没有一个西八总统是干干净净的嘛？这是可以说的吗？
同样改编自泡菜的历史人物，比起南山部长这部偏书生气多一些，没有千钧一发誓死必行的决心，更多在展现军师主帅这两人理念和手段的冲突，正如结尾金DZ所表达的一样，即使鸡蛋被偷，申诉无门，但我首先还是会以正直的手段去求助。李善均太适合这种憋屈的角色了，和薛景求那场“分手戏”值得奖项提名。
