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.
男版罗莉塔，有意思，算是讨好女权吗🐶
标准的商业片吧。朴素丹真的撞脸金高银。延宇振打个酱油。过于标准，没啥兴趣。半个小时弃。
合格的爽片，这个剧情模式看到金义成的社长还以为是模范出租车拍电影了，朴素丹饰的女主很出彩。
但是加上故事情节就烂得一比。女版《大叔》和大叔没得比。
也太能打了 男主的吐槽真的搞笑，难怪说是脱北朝的
开头那段真的像啊乐那部港产片。。。其他也就那样救小孩斗坏人。。。没啥意思。
看个热闹 节奏很好 比我最近看的这个营救那个特工 好看多了
整个故事还算完整，综合了萌鸡小队三季的元素，有笑点有泪点，可惜我娃说不喜欢看煽情动画片😂还有个 bug，阿德竟然不认识萌鸡小队，这有点遗憾
结尾强行he差点儿意思，但是朴素丹好适合演打戏！
开头的飙车老三样玩法太长了，后面娃的剧情刻意而为之。其他几派人物全部打酱油。
棒子的警察好惨，以前还是拐弯抹角地黑，现在就直接警察变成黑社会了，影片要是以飘在海水中那串钥匙做为结尾，那就更令人有悬念和想像空间了，为啥后面还要狗尾续貂来个大团圆，一点余味都没有了。
却感觉反派一号有黄政民那个感觉了，反派出彩。主角嘛，就是无限光环咯
《非常人贩》+《大叔》+《极盗车神》的杂质版，优点没学全，缺点学了一堆；另外这个小孩真不讨喜啊。
结尾强行he差点儿意思，但是朴素丹好适合演打戏！
其他也还好，就是：请！不！要！瞎！cosplay！加里.奥德曼！
女士打斗稍稍有点无力，其它都还好，可看看。。。
虽然有细节瑕疵
2.5/5 應該待在家裡看劇的...韓國商業片也是越來越無新意，就是終極殺陣混玩命快遞，比較稍微不一樣的是朴素丹跟小屁孩的搭配吧
车是我开的，架是我打的，要你这个男朋友有什么用？！小男孩可可爱爱，素丹很帅气，就是觉得差一点撑不起片子，也可能是编剧导演的锅，反正是一部没什么记忆点的商业片吧。希望小姐姐赶紧把身体养好，期待下一次变身。
翻拍的还可以，piaosudan为什么不爱展示自己的身材呢
