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.
两位男演员我都挺喜欢的，但故事节奏有点怪怪的，也不是说不紧凑，就是故事太密集，野心太大，什么都想放进去，但是作为一部犯罪题材的警匪片我还是觉得可以看一看。
除了故事背景是八九十年代，这视觉特效也很八九十年代。
“我们警察总是站在边界线上，既非黑道，也非白道，只要有民众愿意支持我们，我们就能一直处于灰色地带。然而有时候会有人把我们推向黑道，这就是警察的命运。”警察是为了惩罚比自己更坏的人，这是韩影基于基于人性丑、人性恶、人性不可测的多年实践得出的结论，本片再次强调了这一观点。
不能光讲情怀，不讲逻辑。皮皮鲁完全是打酱油的。

1.穿西装还是得老男人，崔宇植这种奶呼呼的没有那种气场；但是他这小眼睛倒是把游离于警匪之间的迷惘与不解诠释的很好；
水准之作 虽然和我之前看过的一系列类型电影都很相似。
不够喜剧。做最精彩的自己，谁不想呢，那还上班吗？
超出预期，非常好看！！！勇敢从来和身高没有关系，要懂得爱，做自己。
好警察？坏警察？游走在灰色地带的警察，为了目的不择手段与原则的警察。
说句实话我真还挺喜欢这种类型的片子，至少我觉得不差。还想接着看
这片可能是因为改编日本小说的缘故，有点儿不像韩国的警察，但里面的风格还是不错的。如果我是恶魔，那就让我去抓住比我还恶的人
期待后面的续集吧 希望有哦
7以上 小崔这个角色发挥有限啊 赵震雄还是熟悉的味道
阵容是韩国大片标配了吧，看过去总感觉跟不上节奏啊，刚跟上，又被带偏了。那么就是剧情和节奏上没有把控好啊。
前半段脸谱化演绎简直令人窒息。连我女儿都在问为什么皮皮鲁一次考试得了100分就要反复考，而鲁西西若干次100分就一次不及格就立刻被列为差生？我都忘记上尉差点壮烈牺牲这段情节了~~
对传统教育唯分数论的批判很大胆，但是小人教他们作弊确实不应该，还有小曼，竟然把那么小个孩子塑造成反派一样的人物确实不太好。
开始小年轻被拉去做卧底，然后各种收集证据，真心吐槽，愣头青一个就随随便便干这种大事吗？这种大佬，可以随随便便被取证吗？服了，要不是后面复杂情节变换，早就一星了。还有最后，小伙子一跃成为大佬，各种要挟，呵呵，刚出手就见幕后大佬，不怕意外吗？无语，yy得太厉害了。
五个罐头小人要是用CG做可能还好点，都2021年了，居然还用五个真人演，纯用实拍+抠像体现空间位置和大小关系，特摄片吗……生怕观众不知道这么原始廉价的手法，片尾还把各种绿幕花絮都放上去了，太土了= = 一股很做作的儿童片腔调，尤其还安排了一个宫斗剧反派一样的坏女孩，求求各位大人别教小孩这么挤眉弄眼地演戏了。说句不好听的，现在小孩从小玩ipad上网，什么好东西没看过，再拍这种低龄儿童剧一样的东西也没人想看了吧。不要死读书的道理放在郑渊洁那个年代还行，现在不用你们拍个电影来说教了，精英家庭的孩子早就不高考了，底层孩子你让他快乐教育那是在害人。这片对我而言唯一乐趣就是莫名像一些双人成行的游戏场景
不是吧不是吧这电影竟然上不了七分？这不比那什么你好李焕英强多了！我忍不住打满分！鲁西西小朋友又好看又可爱 ，剧情也都挺有趣的不低智，反正童心永远在的我很喜欢。
