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.
还以为《在糟糕的日子里》是个惊悚片，结果笑死了。挪威人的真北欧幽默比那旮瘩高级多了，虽然笑点也是唠嗑，但真舍得洒血浆，整的跟从红墨水里捞出来一样。史密斯夫妇 的北欧版。
画的不错，但是没看过原剧和原著，感觉上就是个无头无尾的故事，不怎么样
实在是太好看了！维瑟米尔老爷子年轻时候的故事，这么浪漫的爱情！讲述了猎魔人之前的身世……
这个片有点黑色幽默，有点荒诞，血浆也足。虽不能深究细节，但还是一部有意思的片子，值得一看。
我好像忘了小说情节了，我记得小说里面没有说这段历史啊
《在糟糕的日子里》（2021/国别：挪威）：
我们是怎么一步步到这个最糟糕的日子的？这糟糕的日子需要杀死一个傻瓜，三个恶徒，害死一个父亲才能挽回。所以在开始变坏的时候，我们一起努力下，让事情不至于此吧。
出乎意料的好看，有日本动画流畅的动作和风格，但是节奏又快上许多，好评！
前半段还不错 挺搞笑的 后半段男主智商下限 各种行为真的很招人烦 老爷子真惨 结尾还蛮有意思
整部動畫蠻精彩，打鬥看起來也很爽，感覺還不錯。
如果维瑟米尔与她的感情可以再铺垫一下那么可能会很动人
第一次接触这个题材，感觉还不错，反正都是宗教降魔，中西同理，代入感就好多了。
有点《鬼灭之刃》的感觉，但好像没有《鬼灭之刃》好看。
维瑟米尔年轻时的故事，猎魔人前传，脚本细腻，音乐贴切，节奏控制的很好。有时寓意直白并不是缺点，有种古典浪漫主义。猎魔人原著其实是杰出的波兰当代文学作品。
和小伙伴一起看的，大叔年轻时候很能打啊……
没玩过游戏，没看过美剧，但是对这个IP有所了解，光看这部网飞动画还是挺有史诗感的，题材可以。
十分优秀的动作设计和剧本
前半段还不错 挺搞笑的 后半段男主智商下限 各种行为真的很招人烦 老爷子真惨 结尾还蛮有意思
没事的时候，看看这样的片子真的是挺轻松的。两夫妻的矛盾居然上升到要杀掉对方，而且都是做了周密的计划步入实施阶段。看这个简介，我就觉得挺有意思的。打开电影，令我惊喜的是没有想到还是一部黑色幽默，一个个反转的到来，应接不暇，又觉得不算太硬。然后让我惊讶的是，一部喜剧片居然有那么多得血浆横飞的场面。而且两个普通人，居然那么耐打，越打越勇，更多的时候，不应该是两个普通人就被打怕了，屈服了，不敢再反抗了吗？总归还是一部美好的爱的主旋律电影，最后是一个happyending。
制作精良的同人，剧情不如原著但也有游戏的水平。白狼你怎么秃了？
