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.
作家出场太晚，女主又自由奔放了将近一个小时，我都没注意到她陷入爱河。最后半小时和前面也甚至不像一部电影。不过最后半小时是精彩的。看到阿娜伊思终于开始伤心，好像败下阵来，我心想她的火焰到底也不过如此，可是最后……
最后一句“我不同意”召回了我原本的风格和勇气。我是用感性力量的人，畏畏缩缩只想维护自尊的做法是在折损自我。小博最近启发我：也许他们的感情比你想象得真挚一些…是的，那就不需要博弈了，这部电影完全体现了高地位博弈体系之外的爱情。
La vie est une vallée de larmes.
Anais趁年轻又脱了一把 看着她穿着各种夏装在巴黎小跑就已经享受了 对主线主题反倒没有很在意 大概是在讲年轻敢闯跟着自己荷尔蒙走的小姑娘和年长稳重长辈的一段affaire吧 17/09/2021 UGC Velizy
如果我到了56岁，能这么年轻独立优雅迷人，吸引相差20岁且有所思想的姑娘，并能在激情中保持冷静，那此生可就功德圆满了。
所以男人们安分一点啊，萝莉没捞着，老婆也没了。
画面和美感给三星。故事情节，烦透了。法国人把所谓的自由和浪漫都用烂了。“暧昧”也被贩卖过了头。看多了，实在让人生厌，各种矫情，各种说教。但还要装轻松，装作云淡风轻，自由自在。实质上也全是说教。
法国的电影为什么都这么絮絮叨叨哈哈哈哈大部分的情节和冲突都是靠对话来完成的。
前半段女主的莽撞话痨不守时让焦躁期的我坐不住，一部电影愣是从下午看到了晚上，最好笑的是那只僵死的狐猴。但后半段实在是太棒了
热烈地奔跑，绝不对生活妥协。用年轻去打动陈旧，用激情去打造内心，用行动去打破幽闭。Anais是每个人初生的样子，不是爱情是illusion，一辈子的勇敢才是。(法式小裙子和衬衫可真美呀）
即便没有因为她放弃家庭
生肉看完了。
sex scene 太sensual了…想念夏天
这些人所爱的
What you feel for me,sorry to say,is not love.It's an illusion. You projected a lot onto me.
我对穿着不同裙子到处跑的阿娜伊斯毫无抗拒，看着太开心了～这种happy-go-lucky的女主电影越多越好谢谢～
被法國人浪漫暈了⋯好喜歡這麼直白的坦率的愛著
GFF22# emmm跟糟糕人差太多了。不能理解女主的人设，追求自由人生不是不负责任好吧，对女主的恶感让后半场坐立难安。姬线感觉像硬塞进来的，换成男女也没差。
轻松爱情喜剧小品。看到女主角一直在奔跑，心里感到欢快，不禁想起《弗兰西丝哈》《世界上最糟糕的人》《小妇人》（2019）的女性主角。对同性爱情的萌芽的表现行云流水，流畅自然。结局的处理对我而言稍弱，可能是因为我是悲观主义者吧。
denis podalydes 竟然有丝小帅
