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.
具备演技但自身条件已经不适合少年感角色，完全可以挑战更有深度的成年角色。剧情较无聊，短片标准长片呈现
“Define sex.”
非常小清新的甜甜gay片 可惜剧情太清汤寡水 探讨问题也都浅尝辄止 两位演员顶着帅气的脸却居然毫无火花到我要怀疑他们撞号的程度 如果是大型mv尚可接受 作为电影不太够格 ps：我能看出戳爷在演技上努力了 但还是不尽如人意哈
戳粉来的，我就知道！戳唱了以你的名字呼唤我后肯定超想演类似题材的电影。但是说回来没有那部细腻好看。但我戳演的还是不错的
我应该会记很长一段时间影片里这句话:盘尼西林的研发就像bibi（自动屏蔽）的人生，总会有惊喜。
唯美的画面，只会想，What is love？
剧情很俗套、简单，但对于导演的处女作和戳爷的首次主演来说已经很惊艳了。
不太推荐
戳爺和這個角色的適配度還蠻高的，比我想象中的要更出色，其實得艾最難克服的是自己這關，希望早日艾滋能夠得到根治吧
这部电影居然
在我朝仍然风声鹤唳的时候，大洋对岸的糖水同性青春片已经能够将类型元素结合得细致而又自然，既拍出了青春惯有的迷茫和美好，也拍出了同性群体的情感与负担。
夏天的海边，不安的人和事，都是过客，每个人终究要自己往前走，不停歇的时间铸就了过去和现在，也正在走向未来。
没有想象的那么好
三星。非常轻松的方式讲述了一个确认艾滋阴性的过程。其中还有一段小小的爱情，青春就该这样。而跨文化的元素又为该片增加了一层趣味。
电影满是夏日的感觉 很清新美好
感觉戳看了cmbyn之后就一直想演这种关于 夏天的错过和失去 的这种类型的电影哈哈哈 电影太无聊了 感觉都不够写一篇糖水文的 三个主角的搭配硬生生地觉得别扭……
Troye 克莱因蓝 单车 没有结果的爱情 还有比这更适合夏天的组合吗
然后，配乐都酷酷，大卫鲍伊很少出现在青春电影了。加一星。
小清新片咋都一个样嘞，然后这个配乐……为什么一定要为了突出喜剧效果在一个莫名其妙的地方强行按暂停，再按播放，真的很神经也很多余。但戳还是太美了，两个人的爆米花戏好吃。
夏天…总是让我想起普吉岛和Call me……我爱的CP只要遇上夏天绝对会Be🥲🥲
