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.
只能不断的跳过跳过跳过
整体观感实在是不像一部电影，掰开来看非常一般，可是不争气的我看到戴戒指那里还是落下两颗猫泪😿东亚拉拉片总是能让我高度共情，可是不要再这么苦情了，我们也想要看点快乐的拉拉片啊！！！
今天看到的這一場，有幸見到了主創團隊，導演說「香港電影需要支持，感謝大家專程買票來看」。我看過國產青春電影的片段，一切與我所經歷的真實都是脫節的，反而在離我生長之地千里之外香港，有人拍出了我最隱晦最深刻的青春。感謝這樣的故事被呈現出來，它有著日式純愛片的筆調，讓我想起aimer一首歌曲的pv「あなたに出会わなければ〜夏雪冬花〜」。
女生开始穿束胸就类似于分手后开始谈男朋友吧。主题曲很棒，词贴合剧情，就像花香一样，曲也棒，二汶歌声永远温柔
有感动到，来自真情实感，正好今晚看了另外一部美国的校园同性爱情片，和香港的这部相比，显然细节上耿能共情。三场戏，可见导演的用心，破处和穿破耳膜-青春的撕裂；对着镜头采访说出导演初衷，戏内戏外的互文；一起走进教堂，情感的升华。同样喜欢叙事节奏的处理，在失去父亲的情绪低位的道别后，留下承诺，为她读电影而后叙事回到开头，让结尾的婚礼充满期待。
请人来当伴娘多狠的心啊 我的世界里没有和平分手
我的右手边坐着一对异性恋，电影过半起，女生一直哭，哭到了全剧终。男生一言不发，起身就走了。
点解d糖果高光磨皮增亮滤镜全部传到去香港了，，，救命 这个高饱和度画面真的和香港电影风格完全不搭
哭死我算了 女同性恋为什么总是这么惨 剧情很多硬伤
有一说一画面还是不错的，就是剧情就有些一言难尽，故事拐点总是能让人意外，可以说完全是为了BE而BE
但是最后结婚那里还是很不争气地看哭了，拍得有氛围，谈善言好灵，开头泳池那里一下就把我美住......
四星仅为支持数量不多的亚洲女同片
有一说一画面还是不错的，就是剧情就有些一言难尽，故事拐点总是能让人意外，可以说完全是为了BE而BE
逃不出社会的束缚，在婚礼上戴戒宣誓就是我们对这个世界最大的宣泄
肯定是爱情啊。年轻时的爱恋 真的美好过就足够了，没有那么多幸运能爱着爱着就永远。
如果是在电影院看这一部，会听见整齐划一最姬情的一声惊叹。
一部很温馨的同性影片，针对女校的背景设定，这种事情发生也比较正常。女主选角不错，后半段成年以后的定妆造型很有拉拉那个范儿，另一个女主选的也不错，温香玉软的，但是面临生活的艰难又很坚强。最后我以为会上演两人落跑的桥段，但是最终没有，也从侧面反映了LGBT群体得到社会的广泛认同，道路遥远。
The first girl I loved，那就够了
只对女二拿着闹钟“滴答滴答...”那段印象深刻
