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.
虽然细节还有很多要提高的地方，但是总体来说，包括配音和剧情来说很不错了，好几处看哭我……
节奏很拉胯，台词很中二，画风很难受，剧情很敷衍。你们结盟这么大的事情就这么容易被破坏了？决斗决定得这么草率吗？决斗的时候不能带个奶妈吗？😅王权富贵的人设都要崩了，我的男神怎么废话这么多...
很棒，一镜到底，看着很爽，演员情绪很到位。其中对话比较密集掺杂地方口音，开始以为是在看法语剧，多个故事同时进展，考验编剧的能力，不过有些感觉会拓展的部分没有展开，感觉没看够，
画风和之前有些不一样，不过整体还可以，值得一看！
开始的一镜到底晃的我分心，慢慢进入状态后感觉真是太真实了，每件事情都涌上来真是一团糟，隔着屏幕都觉得无奈至极。不光是工作，还有来自生活的重压，与圣诞节的欢快对比太讽刺，但无论如何不要酒配药，容易直接过去……
救命竟然有一个多小时时长，太棒了本人大满足，给制作组加鸡腿！！！！
有点乱. 因为一镜到底, 男主的背景交代不够清楚
我复制个月红的一首歌吧！《若当来世》挡不住风霜。为魂驰萦梦天下名扬。未曾说过的话。指尖凝成沙。看不清对错（愿背负结果。那心底烙印着的罪过。虚伪的淡漠。汇聚成漩涡。而我不知不觉把自己遗忘。只想为你完成那个梦想。在眼泪中流淌。不能忘。只因为。鲜血浸染铭刻了悲伤。穷尽一生将杀戮踏碎。不知彼此来世相逢。是否还能。记得我是谁。从始至终我无惧无悔。心中了然你无怨无悔。愿出一切曾经拥有。只会赌一回。千百年的牵挂。许下的愿望永不风化，等待命运的回答。在相思树下。 ——看过漫画的都会有更深体会，这首地沉婉绵的气氛很适合这剧情，
二货道士和妖仙姐姐，道士哥哥和小蠢货，真的好感人啊
8.0，看了20分钟左右才感觉到是不是要一镜到底了，果然，后边60分钟就是看哪里有间隔的黑镜头之类的伪一镜到底的桥段，很过瘾，看的，尤其是把几个主要角色都照顾到了，特别喜欢二厨女士的表演，很真实。值得推荐的好片！
小日子过得不错的日本人做的动漫，真的毁了狐妖，尴尬的感情戏，硬生生的煽情，角色 场景 等等的粗糙，真的失望！
还真是惊悚片，看完容易和生活过不去，中年危机，人情世故那些乱七八糟的事一股脑的涌入，可我还是个孩子啊
月红大战那里，两个人的眼神直接给我看泪了，制作组的细节有够到位！
中国的动漫.编排的很好很有特色.人物也很形象
画质渣到我了，画风也很奇怪，人物变形。多的一星给月红吧，七夕快乐❤️
作為一個主廚和餐廳經營者, 面對廚房和餐廳內發生的事情第一時間只會說「I don't know」, 我能給出的評論只有「執柒咗佢喇」🙃 真不幸我確實認識這種人，做事業注定會失敗。
其实大部分剧情都看过，新的没多少，那个画风跟以前有差别，毕竟不是一个团队作的，也可以理解，七夕到了，卖情怀也能说得过去，毕竟整体下来剧情还是不错的
画风有些难受，加上剧情还是有些不太清楚的感觉
两首歌也好好听。
不管怎么样给五星吧，真人版千万不要毁我的美好呀
