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.
整体不错 放国庆档肯定大热 前两个切题很好 就是我这个小心脏受不了虐 沈叔叔一如既往地好笑 徐峥正常发挥
很詫異這次只有吳京的抗日神劇是認真拍的，如果時長夠，有能力延展成類《七武士》。章子怡那兩下子也敢自稱「詩」，還不如《祖國》的陳凱歌，造夢題材被用來講教育簡直是暴殄天物⋯徐崢的海派紅利用到第二年匱乏也就算了，照搬韋斯安德森是認真的嗎？至於深圳⋯⋯算了，一股膠味的科創成果表彰就差把「人傻錢多」四個字寫在臉上
男主潜意识里的认知 一切只是在阶层挑战里的游戏
没想到阿 最喜欢的是章子怡的诗 其他三篇就一般般的匠气作文 四个父与子的故事 乘风篇的价值观不敢苟同 徐峥篇教人要敢为人先 看得出想拍成韦斯安德森的风格 但奈何还是差了一截 沈腾篇除了展现深圳的高大上外就很牵强了 合格的献礼片吧 希望现实世界也能如电影般美好 四星给诗 期待章子怡拍长片
是我和XX系列中最差的，最让我想不到的，最差竟是沈腾。有人觉得鸭先知不错，故事立意很好，但我却觉得人物都好空，甚至连鸭先知的老婆、孩子的性格，我都觉得十分的空。
這就是一部女人說"不"的影片~沉默不代表同意~法律在完善~不要再用舊社會男權思想~去維護愚蠢的做法~
需要冷静冷静再冷静后才能看的影片，最后双方的结案陈词真的太精彩了，这里没有真相，只有对同一事物的两种感知，我们不可能得到真相，永远抓不住的真相所以更需要一种平衡，运动需要战士，而正义需要公理
在一夜情和强奸之间竟还有一条漫长的容易模糊视野的灰色地带，哇！多么大胆的粉饰！完全的盛气凌人的姿态，多多少少还带着一点身不由己的狂傲以及来自意识形态里的轻蔑。

法庭辩论很精彩，但是根源不就是滥交？为什么设置所谓的内裤挑战，如果没有这件事，男主人设就彻底塌了，而女主如果不是因为这个挑战而感到的羞辱，事情的走向是不是可能又不同了…正是因为性行为在双方看来都不是什么大事儿，整个故事才成立。所以辩论虽然精彩，但是都是烟花，好看，不过也就看看。
“这里不存在真相，只存在对同一件事情的两种感知”
这什么玩意儿？？？真得救老命了怎么会这么离谱啊？
步入中年的我，看奥特曼，再也没有当初的感觉了。
鸭先知是矮子里拔将军的第一了 命题作文 一部不如一部啊
跟《最后的决斗》像是约好了般同时出现在威尼斯，后半段也让人想起拉斯·克劳梅的《审判》。问题跟《最后的决斗》相似，前两幕只负责操纵观众心态的摇摆，第三幕的出现直接否定了前两个视角存在的意义（与《最后的决斗》不同的是，本片只有最关键的派对情节被隐去）。此外，母亲知名女权主义者身份所带来的矛盾在她说出“这会毁了他”之后便被不了了之，它与电影中其他所有次要矛盾一起被偷懒地省略、自动化解，故事以一组看似中立开放实则说教的punchline作结，这样的处理并不像是在激发思考，更像是偷懒的创作者把烫手山芋藏进土里，一种两面都不愿冒犯的圆滑（胆怯）。
故事是真不错，也引人深思，不过说道法治社会，证据才是关键
《少年行》：笑点还是在演员身上，整体并不好看
章子怡和徐峥真的可以 有深度 有个性 可惜另一半真的不行了……
直接五星啊！！！打戏量大质优，特效值钱。叙事节奏虽然有点急，但这个体量摆在那，没办法能做到更好了。而且，虽然着重塑造了剑悟和新队长，但是老队长和其他队员也有高光，甚至还给彰人加了个怕鬼的人设。姐夫这么多年一样帅啊，红眼泽塔也帅的一批。唯一遗憾的是泽塔的回归排面不太够啊。顺便拉踩一下东大妈，有钱有技术结果欧兹十周年拍成那个鬼样子，亏的人家整个剧组全员回归。(ps.赛雷布洛永远被女人抓到哈哈哈哈哈)
这个系列，无疑是希望要引起大家的共鸣和感动。但是者却是这些章节里最缺乏的，因为他们承载了太多的任务，离真实和接地气太远了。唯一让自己引起共鸣是那段曾经的广告。
