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.
女性当上总理，依旧会被越权，被试图当成傀儡，多么可笑。只有印度女儿，才能为印度女儿呐喊，多么可悲。
印度社会的强奸问题的确值得批判，但是这部电影拍得有些做作，以司机为导火索来贯穿始末虽然说得通，但要挟到总统来面对面谈判，还只有一个探员跟进去，还允许对方拿着枪，最后才是特种兵进入，整个安排太脱离常识……音乐和镜头也出戏。好题材，烂电影
【C+】学校版的《迫在眉梢》，但相较而言用了更多篇幅营造悬疑和惊悚感，真实用意揭示得较晚，导致剧情推进不够流畅、过于强行，结局也没能有一泻千里之感。
一个半小时后才知道发生什么，两个小时后才是真相，印度妇女太不容易了，要靠这种方式才能引起重视，悲哀。。。
讨论的问题，挺有意义。但是剧本，拍摄和演绎，都非常做作，毫无代入感。
并不新鲜的题材及表现形式，完成度也一般，但这是我们拍不出来的电影。
印度真的不缺好电影 后半段太好哭了 nana只有一点说错了 强奸犯应该阉割凌迟打残废做成人棍让人唾弃生不如死 而不是处死
拍摄低劣，表演呆板，像anglebaby 一样瞪眼皱眉，人物角色转换生硬，想像韩国一样反射社会问题真不是这样的洋垃圾，女主拿着枪一点也没有威慑力，好像在拿瓶牛奶，你喝啊你喝啊，你怎么不喝？我怼着让你喝……
第一部上班期间摸鱼看完的电影，超出预期。网络诚然将世界各地的人连接到一起，创造了很多本不可能的相遇，推荐算法用于网络交友也许也能快速接触到很多兴趣相同的人，但网络终究只是也只能是交友的一部分，现实里面对面的接触，亲眼看得到的笑容，才是将我们连系最紧密的部分。其他人的B-bot只是个bot，而Ron才是一个活生生的“朋友”，他那混沌的算法才是交友算法的最终版本哈哈哈。还有片中强调的，友情应该是双向的，其实不论什么情感，都应该是双向的。最后，片尾曲很好听，片尾的像素动画也很有趣。
可惜鸟了，被某公众号宣传介绍吸引而来，然后。。。悬念全无，被剧透的妥妥的，真是太后悔了，还是应该要保持我的老习惯，啥介绍简介都不看，特别是悬疑片。女主第一眼就很熟悉，原来是《无所不能》的女主。印度近些年的高分悬疑片始终绕不开强奸这个罪恶的现实，希望某一天，所有妇女们不再受到伤害
预告犯的模式，手里有筹码，才能达到自己的诉求，误杀3开工！
影片结束后的那三行字幕就像一把尖刀一样一下子扎进心里
戏剧一般的开始，过于理想化的结尾，无助但本质善良的女主，突然良心发现的探长。不知道现实中的🇮🇳🟤🌰是不是有在为了女性权益而如此努力，希望他们是真的在反思和进步。
电影水平是三星，加一颗星给不断呐喊的印度电影界，也许他们也能改变法律。
浮夸的试听和糟糕的节奏让这部电影无法达到《恐袭波士顿》的写实效果。而对于现实题材的作品，写实效果是更加适配的，而非本片的完全类型化处理。不过，本片后半部分对于社会议题的渲染和诉求倒是非常震撼。
立意非常好 剧情运镜音效有点过 像印度快手小短剧
为了让孩子生活在一个不用担心被强奸的国度而努力的女人，用行动改变法律，向她致敬！
蛮有意义的，但是这剧情和节奏真的不能忍，7分撑死了
黨呐喊都聽不到，無動於衷的時候，只能采取極端行動了。之所以極端是因爲是唯一的出路。
以为是悬疑剧 两小时啊 2022年了想看些新的剧情
