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.
抛开青春疼痛式的剧情以及大柔光式滤镜，她们从头到尾都是双向的，中学那一段当然是爱情。一起看《蓝宇》的时候芯悦眼中抑制不住的爱意，操场雨中芯悦的回吻，写悔过书但不悔过，如果不能做爱人，那就做一辈子的best friend吧。PS主题曲很贴切很好听
在雨中激情接吻后，被罚写悔改书，李芯锐又不明缘由的生气玩失踪了，重逢后又觉得去莫名其妙找人男朋友，然后又说30岁如果还单身的话就结婚了，结果李芯锐还真去结婚了又来找你当伴娘……
感觉还是很真实吧，毕竟我们这种大环境还是不接受的人很多，尤其是长辈更加不理解，我看了评论很多人都在吐槽两个父亲的谈话，其实我觉得站在男性角度他们可能就是这样安慰自己，突发这种事情可能他们内心也很慌，两个父亲的反应都很温暖，没有打骂她们已经很难得了。操场那段吻戏很大胆，围观吃瓜的同学一个个星星眼还心领神会地笑着，这段简直笑死我，同学们八卦又可爱了哈哈，反正内地是不可能有这种感情的电影了。李芯悦这角色其实我不是很喜欢，总有一种她把人掰弯了然后自己就抽身离开独善其身了，剩下李咏蓝陷在其中无法自拔，有点太不负责了，感觉一直吊着人家。
感情戏好细腻！哭死我了！别再说“最好的朋友”了求求。“如果喜欢你是幼稚 那我宁愿永远不长大”
请人来当伴娘多狠的心啊 我的世界里没有和平分手
我想起了那个著名的香港年轻人的未来的梗，或许艺术家们觉得这是艺术，但作为观众的我可以选择中途离场，实在是看不下去了
两星给漂亮耐看的两位女主演 两星给唯美的亲密戏 这部电影把校园感情拍得很美好很清纯很青春 只是情节安排有点欠妥当 中译名我不太理解什么意思 反而英译名会更贴切 感觉李芯悦一直在给李咏蓝无望的希望 也许是一直处于匮乏的环境让她失去了对抗风险的勇气 弟弟妹妹在前面没有交代 葬礼才出现多少让人有点摸不着头脑 还有李芯悦母亲和李咏蓝大学男友这两个人物过于蜻蜓点水 电影整体就是给人一种淡淡的感觉 好像快要感悟出什么的时候又被轻轻带过了 最后 李咏蓝实在太惨 像这样的拉拉不是少数 让我更加难过了
20211113@Cinema City / 看完一回想确实很老套狗血矫情，但是还是被伤到了，特别是悔过书的部分。中间有蓝宇tribute也是最大的惊喜。女二隐忍的性格很迷人，选择和未必是真爱的男性结婚的理由，或许是自身离婚家庭背景所致，只有变成友情的爱情才能长存。虽然如先前短评所言的剪辑缺陷、糖水片滤镜确实存在，但不至于这么低分。左边座位紧紧攥着女朋友的手来看的女生哭的也很伤心，还分给了我半张纸跟着一起哭。
虽然很程式化，但前面还是看哭了。每个非直女都有过的一段青春。开始是李芯悦，后面是李咏蓝。
2.5，确实没什么技法可言，后半段狗血的跟你的婚礼有一拼，但前半段真的太甜了太甜了太甜了，人总归还是要看点小甜饼的，姨母笑就没停过
爱情就是爱情 不是最好的朋友//最好的朋友就是最好的朋友 不是爱情 别扯
故事裡年少時無憂無慮的愛大概都沒有什麼刻骨銘心的事 也許更多只是朋友以上日日夜夜的陪伴 「永遠的好朋友」 儘管當刻在操場上能衝動（鼓起勇氣？）「動地驚天愛戀過」 又敵不過下一刻的悔過書 莫名 成長後的漸行漸遠最後（成熟有禮又扎心的客套地）送上祝福才是真實的距離
但一直保持没勇气
为什么找你来当伴娘?
如果这件事发生在我身上一定老死不相往来。老演员们看着好熟悉，好喜欢。我想表白孩子她妈妈。😅 这个“很不真实”的结局，是想消失的人知道，坚持从事电影业的自己，仍然爱她，不管她怎样了。
什么是真正的爱情，我们中学那段算什么，两位女主的故事简单也复杂，年少的我们得到过的一切都将深深的影响我们。
为什么找你来当伴娘?
我到底看了什么 光打到爆 剧本稀烂 慢镜头表现细节 实在无法共情女主们
我的正前方坐着一对热恋期的女朋友，因为电影前一半时，她们几乎都看着对方而不是荧幕。当我右手边的女生哭的时候，这前方一对都坐僵直了，直到电影快结束，头又凑成一对天鹅状。电影结束，她们讲了很久的悄悄话迟迟不起身，在影院门口因为焦虑而没走的我看到最后出来的是她们，开心地拖着手。
是不是更难？
