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.
影片塑造了一个尽职尽责、任劳任怨、忍辱负重、无私奉献的中国好妈妈形象，看的过程确实能从母女关系代入自己的情感。相信很多人都有一个“管天管地”的妈妈，徐帆老师演得不错，很真实。混日子的弟弟、患阿尔茨海默症的婆婆、当小三的女儿、还有对自己漠不关心的丈夫，再加上身患癌症的母亲角色，这些设定都很刻意，有强行让观众从头哭到尾的嫌疑，在中秋节这样的节日看这种煽情电影太悲伤了。影片的问题出在价值输出上，一个中国传统女性形象历经苦难，至于如何远离这些苦难，影片没有给出答案，注定是一部普通的苦情片。
徐帆随便说说话就成了电影，而其他人连话都讲不好
女儿+绝症+扶弟+阿尔兹海默症，所有能催泪的题材都集齐了，被拖累的季佩珍的一生。
围绕母亲的群像戏、生活化场景和细节还原容易让观众带入自己的生活，徐帆的业务能力毋庸置疑，而演母亲正是自己的拿手技能，角色诠释精准，富有爆发力。季佩珍总让我想起母亲，看完后只觉得自己算幸运，因为还有好好对妈妈的机会。
在电影院里默默的哭成泪人，那个人，是我。
开头的几分钟就营造了一个太过美好的世界，为后面的催泪打下了优秀的基础 || 大陆电影的家庭感动；和台湾、美国电影的家庭感动，很不一样。说明大家的生活的确很不一样。在这一点上，我还是更东方，我深受大陆、台湾的电影感动。
故事散碎，人物转变略生硬，类似小红花+李焕英，希望我们关于亲情的，关于女性电影，可以突破畸形关系，从物化与被物化中挣脱出来，塑造一个立体与勇敢的人物形象。
煽情片，中国电影已经很久没有见过新鲜的东西了。
确实不能算翻拍，剧本改得像屎一样，毫无连贯性，基本可以看作几百个催泪短视频拼接成2小时，配合着bgm和台词也毫无逻辑，就是疯狂煽情疯狂戳泪点，几乎都能听到导演在你耳边怒吼“给我哭！”。妈妈很伟大，拿妈妈的感情恰烂钱这事儿就恶臭了。徐帆做作的表演和声音生理性不适，张婧仪也全是短板。许亚军和吴彦姝多好啊，可惜是扁平的面具人角色。子宫内膜癌患者会吐血，胃癌患者会胸痛，南极科考队如此好进，所有细节就尼玛离谱。
故事有些平，其实导演私人的情感表露少了。也就是，我的存在，对妈妈的讲述力度不够。
做里面每个角色的妈妈实在是病态的，里面表达的价值观也不敢苟同，虽然看得催泪，但是除了催泪没有解决任何问题。
6/催泪弹，我看我妈哭我就想笑，控制不住。但太平庸了，剧本、角色都很有问题。
这个女人多少有点矫情发嗲，带着过多的个人风格色彩，影响了母亲的角色。剧情设定有问题，原生家庭和睦融洽，自己却甘当小三？和母亲相处愉快时又用力过猛，不大象中国式家庭。这么一个好男人，怎么感觉出场就像是出轨过的偷情油腻男？额，还需要进步。
第四个，女儿剪了短发，用自己的头发给妈妈做了一顶假发。
删了儿子的角色，改了“婆媳矛盾”的线，没留母亲用被子捂杀（怀病）婆婆的高光桥段，而扔柿子这种比较韩国🇰🇷生活化的桥段，却生硬照搬到翻拍版中。
你怪不得别人，都是你自己选的。
两星半全给题材，不给表演不给演员不给故事。张歆艺再减半颗星

111号。总觉得徐帆有点用力，她的声音和做派让我感觉更像陈白露，而不是一个柴米油盐酱醋茶的母亲。
徐帆和亚军不用说，老戏骨了，女主还不到火候，但是演出了领家姑娘的感觉，让人感同身受，也不错。
