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.
在网上点喜剧看到这片子 但是从头到尾我就没有笑过啊 而且结局不够彻底啊 看完不是意犹未尽 而是满头问号
单论“食人”更喜欢《生吃》的表现。看完后想再去看一遍《正常人》。
6.3(5⃣️)，明明可以成为一部更富恶趣味的R级恐怖喜剧，但利用小清新爱情元素所制造的强行反差的过度使用又让影片失去了本该有的吸引力。扁平是最直白的缺点，中段剧情太过拖拉，毫无必要的冗长磨光了趣味后再进入突然令人激动却草草了事的反杀设计，显然也没有让其在一众主打食人/身体恐怖的类型系列中脱颖而出/ Daisy表演很不错，美女好棒！
男主没看错，女主不是一般人，懂得卧薪尝胆，一击即中，最后反杀也算是以其人之道还治其人之身了。巴基长相太过邻家少了一丝变态的感觉，Daisy又实在不像会一直单身很久的女子。
看到史蒂夫的妻子退下衣服，露出残肢的时候悲愤到心痛。
终于没有最后还是靠男人/场外来救。最后砍她老婆’Bitches like you are the fucking problem ‘爽到了！
弱弱的剧情，再变态直接整个摆上桌供货，原味直接下口，那可就真刺激了。
题材故事都不新鲜，女性主义直给，女人互相救命，路上还有同性绊脚石，男人要么蠢要么坏要么胆子小，说是cult片吧杀人魔也就切了切肉，说是复仇爽片吧血浆暴力都不够

武哥是不是也释然了呢？叶老师的生命用另一种方式延续了…
不愧是米其林大厨，食材品质很重要，可是这点肉够分吗？女主长相甜美，看起来很好吃的样子。难得有智勇双全，有颜值有脑子的主角，论补刀的重要性。

还好嘞 中间有些枯燥 1.5倍速看完 反倒是最开头那个中餐厅男塑造更好 全世界的普信男都一个样子 好写实 营销账号说什么看完这部片子一段时间都不想吃肉心理有多脆弱 男主都要跟自己食谱上的物种谈恋爱了我们吃个肉算啥
一时没搞清楚是侮辱了犯人的智商还是观众的智商
假妻子是之前的受害者这点确实没太想到 最后不知道为啥要替男主报仇 难道斯德哥尔摩了（。
穿过寒冬拥抱你…………简直每分每秒都是穿过大荧幕杀了我 烂到令人痛心 烂到匪夷所思 烂到我都不知道这种电影到底有什么存在的必要。豆瓣到底什么时候能打负星啊？
剧本本身一般，但反杀段落和配角设置还是有些新意的。
掀掉这筵席
食人魔里最恋爱脑的，恋爱脑里最会吃的。表面上看反抗有力讽刺十足，实则唯唯诺诺连女性选角都得兼顾三种肤色，碰瓷也麻烦走点心
快要跨入2022年了，记得给身边人一个大大的拥抱，好喜欢电影里的那段话：
