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.
可以，坚持了半小时，到尬说唱是真看不下去，小熊猫被消费最惨一次
好欢乐啊！结尾那个大乱斗。。。笑死。。。星星眼都好可爱啊 还有念咒和流行歌融合 好久没看过这种东西了。。。这是阿拉蕾么😂😂 这个设定2002 的确那个组合的哥听起来很西城男孩啥的😂😂 配乐都还挺好玩的
个么不就是男女那点事嘛？然而可贵之处也正在这里，人的情感本就是幽微而细腻的，如此逼真地、不带任何judge地讲述生活中这些真实的瞬间。
啊不得不说把中国某一类型的典型家庭关系拿捏得非常到位了，不仅是母女，还有爸爸在其中的位置…不知道北美人民能不能relate to这个片子，但我相信中国观众看了应该都是深有感触了，哪怕自己家不是这样也会深有感触。。
变成一只大熊猫空降到HOT演唱会的现场和朋友们蹦蹦跳跳应该也是十岁的我最想做的事吧！
羁绊一生。
两段餐桌戏棒呆，顶级群像，一流对白，你来我往，酣畅淋漓，妙趣横生又生机勃勃。一边看一边想夸导演，看得出用心挑选的一枝一叶拼出的精致和市井，感受到满满的生活感，像是你身边的、早已熟悉的大叔阿姨一样自然，还有那种动人而又稚气未脱的友谊；又一边想夸编剧，竟然写出了那么令人惊喜的烟火词，能在平凡的一幕幕间妙笔生出花，完全展示出了方言的魅力和生命力所在，看完脑子里一直回转着“灵”和“钞票”俩词对我产生的奇妙冲撞感。发现编导一体，想比烂大拇指👍🏻。谁说中年人的市井爱情没人爱看？剩饭都有猫抢呢。
每个人心里都有一头怪兽，不想被人发现的那一面，释放出来活出完整的自己，还是隐藏一世？担心自己驾驭不了的母辈们选择了后者，美美选择了和怪兽共存，让原本可怕的一面反而大受欢迎。母女在竹林产生共鸣那段泪流满面，多少儿女在渴求父母的理解和认同的路上走得伤痕累累。 不仅情节深刻节奏又细又准动作丝滑度又上一个档次，谁能想到皮克斯还能把人内心里那头怪兽做到如此萌炸天，Pixar YYDS！！
太谄媚了。风格比迪士尼还迪士尼，夸张的色彩，夸张的动作。还有比美国还美国的叛逆。入籍美国的华人就是美国人了，要是以中华文化为羞耻，那就干脆全面美化好了，非要拿“中华传统”出来扭曲一番，就有点过分了。不就是为了用“肯定多元”的美国标榜，来进一步地对美国文化进行谄媚和效忠嘛！
道理我都懂，可是为什么她妈妈变的小熊猫那～～～～～～么大啊
可爱到爆炸，主题和执行都好棒。2022 的年度最佳，来得比 2021 早了一些。
不愧是你 皮克斯。断奶真的对父母和子女来说都是难事。其实我们都不用说对不起。我喜欢那只红色的小熊猫，我不会让它消失。
爱与包容，就是一个做自己的故事，简简单单，却又能直戳心底，温暖感动，这就是皮克斯的魔力！还好内地译名不是《熊猫总动员》
把反叛当成政治最正确，这对东方人的刻板印象也太刻板了吧
中国的小孩通常要靠外界来治愈家庭带来的伤害。
能明白是典型的东亚家庭故事，但小女孩面临的困难也太没有厚度了。一场流行音乐会承担不起这样一个主题，导致无论是家庭的矛盾还是小女孩的苦恼都显得轻飘飘的
中式传统家庭亲子关系之成长的烦恼。。。
为什么中译名是这个呀我的妈！！我感觉世界其他部分了解亚洲文化还属于要从很明显（到有一点stereotypical）的标签来开始的阶段（比如宗祠、粤语歌），在多伦多中国城长大的二三代小朋友和一代移民的我们当然也有很多不同的成长经历，但小女孩之间的友情真的超级泪目！爸爸妈妈之间的感情也很动人啊——以及红熊猫也太可爱了吧！
【B】看前半段yygq短评都想好了：“段子集是吧？不知道跟中央电视台虎年春节联欢晚会比哪个更好看。”女朋友是半个上海人，她说喜欢的不行。后半段却越看越惊觉一种奇妙的东西在持续升腾，眼泪就下来了。新人导演错过了很多却抓住了更多。多么神奇的作品啊。
其实你跟你姥你姨儿搁堆儿加一块都比不上你妈万分之一熊，你那点少女怀春小叛逆不过是在洪荒熊力面前洒洒水啦🥲
