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.
毕竟是一个儿童剧吧故事情节没有那么跌宕起伏，但是感觉还是蛮不错的。
那个shelter的女士把我看哭了😭Ruby good girl
失去役所广司后连格局都缩水了，最后变成单挑把我整无语了；秃头搭档和小报记者这两个角色其实有点意思，但也没有深挖，纷纷变成工具人！现在只能指望《黑道与家族》不要让我失望了...
第3200-有点香港黑帮老电影的感觉，反派演得挺入戏，精彩地方是男主发现搭档警察的家是空的。
续集挺出色的，男主还是太消瘦了，有点强行硬核的感觉，特别是西服太大了，腾不起来，可能也是角色需要吧，总之完成度比较好，反派选的也比较到位，挺有亮点的
尽管不缺少血腥暴力的场面，但松坂桃李为了自己的小卧底就舍命跟黑帮血拼，这就让电影跟深作欣二的“无仁义之战”拉开了距离。那个肆无忌惮的年代早就成为过去时了。
不知道dog person在实际生活中怎么表现和狗狗相处的，就是有点点说不出来的怪怪的。但是是个感动人的好故事。希望每个狗狗都有个温暖的家。
铃木亮平在Tokyo Mer 里面救死扶伤医者仁心，在这里面杀人不眨眼，这反差不得不说演技太好。看完第一部的时候我很期待二代孤狼的诞生，但是二代孤狼并不给力，一个是智商堪忧二个是畏手畏脚，没有役所广司的狼气，不行。
上林残暴至极有他幼年精神崩塌的逻辑，幸太屈忍卧底为的是他家人的生计，还有那雨中淋湿的绿本。而日冈至始至终，如一具躯壳，为了延续正义，活脱得像条狗，是在走钢丝，但却是提线木偶，没有灵魂。
Smart doggy。真人事件改编的电影在最后放出原型照片时总能让人热泪盈眶。坦白说电影拍的不够好，转折情节有些生硬和刻意了，但我会很高兴自己在将来养狗狗前看了这部电影，会让我在感觉自己和它们是不是不能建立联系时能更有耐心。
人类从来不从自己身上找问题
剧情一言难尽。。。看在狗狗和真实故事改编的份上给两颗星星
最可怕的不是坏人很坏，最怕的是好人队伍里也全是坏人。
阳光温暖
一场血腥的扫黑风暴，一个黑白通吃维系一方和平警探一个行凶及恶被警方利用的黑帮头目必将上演爱恨情仇大戏。电影延续前作昭和黑帮片风格展现平成初期极道血雨腥风。松坂桃李造型好像年轻时小栗旬。西野七濑演技越发成熟演位苦难母亲很到位
看着闪电侠从少年到成长为一个男人，虽然胖了，但还是有少年感，非常可爱，依然很像Queen S哈哈哈哈，这部电影是根据真实事件改编 最后给爷整哭了，这是一个互相成就的美好故事
染满鲜血的英雄之路。最后那一枪爆头真的太爽了。
本来以为第一部大上已死，就不会有第二部了，没想到是为了顺理成章的把日冈扶正而已。其实这一部比前作更爽更暴力，因为负责任地讲，铃木亮平的角色可以说是日本黑帮片的史上最强反派疯狗，智商、残忍度、尤其是战斗力绝对都是100+的，日冈碰到他就是个弱鸡属性。要不是最终因为过于自信自己作死，想必两个内冈也不是他的对手。最令人心疼的还是幸太的死，我本以为这一部会以死激起内冈内在潜能的会是那个助手濑岛，怎奈，这导演真是想要无间道玩出花。结尾狼的隐喻很好，说明内冈还是在追寻大上的脚步前行。总体不错。
2比1要好看一些，上林人物塑造不错啊，西海七濑的演这种成熟女人，还是太早了
纯靠血腥暴力的变态场景撑场面，有的情节不太合理，莫名其妙。影片后半部分有点烂尾，没有第一部好看。和配角比起来主役显得没有那么出彩。就是一部只有打打杀杀的血浆片，缺少yakuza电影的灵魂。
