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.
三星半。前半截对话很有意思，后面急转直下，消遣看一下完全OK的
从性到爱，这套路有点掉渣，也就看看新人的表现吧。竟然获得2021百想最佳编剧奖，呵呵！5
虽然故事老套，但表演很到位，以及可以看出想要表达的女性独立的思想
久违的韩国爱情电影，上次这么能看下去的好像还是金敏喜的《恋爱的温度》。剧本只能说中规中矩，先性后爱的戏码，我上高中那会好莱坞就已经拍了个遍。但全钟瑞的表演真是每次都如此灵动，孙锡久更是随便迷迷糊糊的演会让你选他也不选玄彬，尤其两人酒桌上的一唱一和，哇，搭戏绝了。
演员挺好，题材也有点意思，拍得头重脚轻。前面几次见面对话还有点火花，结尾太水了。
靠演员撑起来的平平无奇的爱情电影，原来大谈特谈性，也可以这么“白开水”。
No.2366 像是看了一篇爱情小说，节奏挺快的，但是挺有意思。不过也难免需要通过一些矛盾，让男女主认识到自己对这份感情的珍视。很喜欢画面展现的内容，特别是街景，想出去旅游了。男主不算帅，但越看越觉得亲切，像是一位值得结实的朋友。
剧情很一般，没什么新意，但是两位主演很有化学反应，演技自然且在线！孙锡久真的是个宝藏男人，越看越迷人，过分可爱，大狗狗属性无疑～～～
男人话多和性张力是不是成反比？孙锡久话多的时候就不性感了
学到了，偷礼金花名册。 @2022-05-07 21:32:19 @2022-06-03 23:33:54
第一次看美式football这么鸡冻，男主棱角分明的脸蛋和发达的肌肉很赞，又激起了我继续去健身房虐肉的欲望了
剧本很寡淡，还没上主菜就结束了。但是两个主演都好喜欢啊，换个人演，我应该就不会看这个电影。虽然都是在谈性，可是莫名觉得甜。两人的一些互动很可爱，看得我也想喝酒了！找个人边聊边喝酒真棒啊。
一到想要谈恋爱之后剧情就开始无聊了（就当是恋爱的锅吧
谈了那么多性，但就是不露骨，导向是孤独求爱，但过程却是两心相近，剧情从男主写故事就能知道将要发生的矛盾，全片看点最大算是女主个人了，可爱中带点小性感。
朴佑利开专栏能火起来还不是因为用了咸子英敞开心扉对他说的真心话和金句？所以男作家写得好不能真的反映自己的真实水平，而是盗窃别人的精神财富啊。除开这点，咸子英这个女人是真的有魅力啊。金钟瑞讲话的发音好好听，怎么形容呢？像猫？
虽然电影不怎么样，男女主也毫无cp感。但是小奶狗一样的男人真是太令人心动了！
孙锡久很迷人，但电影确实很一般，有点无聊。
怎么会有这么可爱的爱情喜剧片！！全钟瑞和孙锡久诠释得太好了！
拍性喜剧就认真一点啊喂！白瞎了wuli锡久！
励志故事都那样，
