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.
有金刚狼和小栗旬，很燃的，选到舞狮这个题材真是好命。
Jeff带着很单纯的动机表现出来的笨拙让我更触动，它很像之前努力去对身边人好但有时候不知道怎么表达甚至搞砸的亲人和朋友。我们都不是完美的，机器人也不是，我们以“人性是否就是以恶为本色”为论据传播仇恨与冷漠，直到在末日之际才发现我们对之前曾经恐惧逃离甚至敌对的人建立的一点点信任，给予了我们对人、生活和未来的希望，在末世下的“一点点”。
“Bye-bye' Miss American pie，drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry...”
末世风景公路家庭情感片。。。观感体验不错，结尾前稍作稍拖沓。高清画质下，摄影很美。人类的下场最终会怎样不太清楚，但正如那句话说的，其实地球不太需要我们保护，因为我们能毁灭的只是自己。
finch的墓碑和金门大桥上的明信片
我年轻时是座孤岛，我离去时最挂念的就是你，所以跨过那做桥，去世界看看吧。
虽然有台词有点不太喜欢，但总体还是很惊喜！
我是传奇➕超能查派 但是又不一样，还挺温情的。
《濒死男子造出机器人只为照顾狗，机器人在制作者死后发现自己核心位置竟是开罐器》
常见的末日公路题材，挑不出大毛病，就是保守到有点无聊的程度。Jeff“演”得真不错。
虽说聚焦弱小如何锻造了强大的精神世界，本就是热血基本款，但能将这种基本款呈现得自然坦诚又动人心弦，确属下了一番功夫。传统文化传承、乡村留守孩子、外出打工潮等命题，能以这样舒适的方式引人回味，实属难得。
真的，狗子不管和谁玩球，最后都会把对方丢出去的球捡回叼给主人（主人在场的情况）。我们豆小葵十年如一日！末日公路片，一人一机器人一狗子，两个小时从绝望到慢慢被灌注希望和光明。Good year，真的很喜欢狗子的这个名字，2019年可能是未来10年来最好的一年，疫情、经济、气候变化...都形势严峻，芬奇所在的未来，臭氧层已经被严重破坏，人类为了生存时刻要泯灭良心挑战人性底线。而他把狗子托给杰夫照顾，这个机器人继承了人类的善良、坚韧和爱，带着狗子去了希望之地。汤姆·汉克斯又一次奉献了绝佳演技，杰夫在他怀里那一幕眼泪就破防了，最后小家伙摇着尾巴把球丢给杰夫，又乖乖叼回来了，我似乎看到没有表情的杰夫喜极而泣的样子。有爱，就有希望。珍惜可以呼吸新鲜空气、沐浴在阳光下的日子吧！
情真意切，一气呵成。少年艰辛之路，步步踏血，壮志在心。国产动画佳作，现实主义优秀作品。
这部电影为什么叫芬奇呢？
卖得一手好萌，机器人都续航无限了人类能被一个uv就干成废土，毁灭吧赶紧的。
finch不需要同伴jeff经常受伤
和《大圣归来》的观感很像，好看但没法沉浸，因为各种拿来主义太容易让人出戏了，何况《少林足球》和《狮王争霸》我都看了十几二十遍。
人最可怕，人与人之间信任太难，不如robot and dog.
不要遗憾末日会没有人类，因为人工智能会继承你的爱与故事。
发现这部才是真现实题材的《奇迹笨小孩》，终于不再局限于让人疲劳的奇幻神话类型。前面情节挺一般的，直到最后决赛才大放精彩。看影片之前对那些热议的乳化形象舆论，我都不觉得，没必要非得美型去迎合市场，但阿猫和友谊赛那几个角色确实过分了。
