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.
下弦之伍 操纵丝线的累一家五口 鬼背后的故事也是残缺又悲伤的 炭治郎的火神初现 豆子的血鬼术爆血 全程高能 善善的一刀高光时刻 各种名场面 太震撼了
3.5星吧。跟tv版差不多，没有出彩的地方
整体而言剧情相对于漫画并没有做出什么改动，但这却是最完美的体现。
青春是一起做无意义的事，尽管有一天会分道扬镳，但如今重要的是把握当下。
因为自己没有拥有，而捏造出圆满家庭，第一次get了病娇的萌点。but炭治郎有点过分温柔了，有点不可
周五心血来潮看了蜡笔小新的剧场版，没想到意外的好看，虽然是一贯的无厘头风格，但故事完成度很高，既讽刺了精英评价体系对人的异化，也兼顾了推理寻凶和热血青春的部分，属实挑不出什么毛病。
CODA as Child of Deaf Adults，“健听”是相对于聋哑群体而言的概念。不管是基调节奏还是内核，这片子做到了各要素的完美平衡，几乎没有刻意和煽情的痕迹，这种小清新小美女又不做作的音乐励志片，谁能不爱呢

以及青春是ai回答不了的问题。
真的很好哭啊！泪点真是一波又一波的，后面几场唱歌的戏每场都好好哭，尤其是父亲用手听女儿演唱那段，哭到不行了。其实故事很常规，跟法版设定也基本一样，但这种讲述真善美、人间有爱的片子，真是怎么看都不会腻。歌曲之所以感人，是因为演唱者用她来传递自己的爱，而电影也是这样。爱与温暖，真好。
炭治郎是令男性心生向往、令女性心生敬慕怜爱的人；每个单元的反派也都有令人同情及鄙夷之处，塑造得有血有肉。
鬼灭之刃制作还是一如既往的强！！错了，我还以为是无限列车😂
“我是超级精英哦” “我可是野原新之助哦”不愧是我新酱！
每一个鬼都是一个堕落的灵魂，他们身前一定会有一段能让人感受到温暖的故事。驱魔人不应该去践踏他们被消灭后留下的躯壳，因为他们曾经也是人类。
通过一个超现实的假设来反映现实教育中的问题，到后期甚至走上了完全本格推理的道路。
TB版15-21集。这一部分可以说是当之无愧的五颗星级别！在这一部分这部动画与其他动画的区别展现的淋漓尽致。炭治郎的勇敢、善良与保护妹妹的决心也得到了完全的体现，我妻善逸内心殊死挣扎后也得到了巨大的提升。这一部分大家齐心协力杀了五个鬼，打斗场面逐渐升级，画面精美，每个鬼的悲惨人生也是有不同的刻画，值得品味。这一部分真的太精彩了！
原来不是新的剧场版，是TV蜘蛛篇合集，蜘蛛篇还挺好看的。
大家就不要吹死婊活厚古薄今了，这玩意整得不错，当年的战斗少年漫，闪灵二人组，烈火之炎，孔雀王之类的没这质量。说句大不敬的，连幽游白书也没这质量。
几度眼睛湿润，第一段是父母听女儿演唱，突然开始静音之后的画面，真是震撼，再是在面试的时候唱歌时候的手语，把感情传达出去产生共鸣，最后是她在车上又下来拥抱家人的画面，真的好棒，欧美即使拍这样的抒情电影也是这么棒，我们绝对不能让民族主义害了，一定要拥抱这个最大的世界！！！
最为热血的青春漫，竟然从一群小学生中间看到了。一个靠积分作为机械排名的阶级学校与人工智能，一个让人人成为精英的装置，在最后的奔跑马拉松中，融化孤独的温暖，传承老大面具的英雄，还有脱落自卑勇敢奔跑的女孩，每个人都发现了无意义背后的真实。
