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.
1.的确很反转，转了两个180度又回到了原点，爷爷送出去的仍然是真佛头，仍然是汉奸，导演真是个人才。
整体太刻意了，过于戏剧化，反而弱化了社会性，可惜这么好的阵容了。
请问百合片有he的吗！?
最好看的戏眼全在葛大爷身上，最后好笑的是万一日本人不还佛头呢？
1.剧情很流畅，很容易投入进去，七分悬疑，两分父母之爱，一分给李现辛芷蕾的颜值。
点映场，比预想的好，雷佳音和辛芷蕾演技在线，葛大爷自不用说，虽然是推动情节的配角，但又是给影片增加笑料的主力，里边关于古董专业的部分看着很过瘾，虽然外行看热闹，但是情节设置精彩，尤其开始许、药俩人的那场对决一开始就给影片走向定下了基调，虽然两个多小时片长，但是节奏紧凑不拖沓，观影体验非常棒。
是香港还可以拍纯爱les电影就值得五星…说是成长，我却觉得遗憾是整部电影的主色调，而更悲哀的是，这种秘恋遗憾不舍还在千千万万个wing和sylvia身上发生着… （怀疑有些是恶意低分，男家长的评论并非导演的真实想法，而恰恰是为了反衬出世俗轻视下两个女孩的真爱，如果看到家长的话就打恶评，是否是理解能力太低下呢？）ps重温三遍后夸下杨偲泳的演技，婚礼那段她的演技是巨大的催泪弹，让屏幕外的人也深深陷入角色的世界。
作恶的人得不到惩罚，怎么维护世间的公平与正义。
跟李现对戏的雷佳音宛如影帝，面部表情生动得令人感动。
很不错的爽片，年底了大家都不容易，需要看爽片啊！！！
只能讲不愧是薛景球，这么弱的剧本都能演这么出色，他是有行为逻辑自洽的。题材角度也不错，这些社会精英阶层的家庭自私又贪婪，即使跌落神坛也无法与普通人共情，很现实，就凭这点就甩国影十几条街。
解谜游戏更好玩一点
俩人头一回戴口罩我想，卧槽这么快2019了吗🤔
郭子健的中二病沒藥醫了⋯另外有錢做三維沒錢打燈嗎？英皇對青一塊紫一塊的雜色作何感想？
3.5，其实还不错，视角切的很独特，观影过程还是很流畅一气呵成，父母的眼里只有自己的孩子，别人的孩子不是孩子，成年人用大恶护住少年的小恶，被害人到旁观者身份的转换，每个人究其到底都是自私的，只要灾难没落到自己头上都无所谓，最后的反转必要性不大，薛景求演的好。
为什么中国能把电影拍的那么无脑 就是 很无语
突然看到片名还叫《父母长什么样》。确实这个片名更加有趣，为了自己的孩子不受法律的责罚，不顾道德，正义，不惜使用各种肮脏的手段。最终知道真相的父亲，也只是含泪帮他处理掉了证据。父母长什么样？无条件的护犊子罢了
2.爷爷是预言帝吗？他早就猜到50年后日本人会归还佛头？如果日本人不还呢？后面怎么拍？许愿直接跑到日本抢回来？
跟朋友一起同步按开始的电影 剧情设置是俗套 不过生活本身就是俗套的。回想起共同的经历是一样的回忆吗？我觉得她两是一样的！
看的时候觉得真的很像日本片子里的险恶小孩，全员恶人，一查果然翻拍日本的，节奏很紧凑，演技很好，看的时候真的觉得人性本恶啊……但再怎么说也不至于6.8分吧
