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.
一部放在8-90年代还不错的剧情片，节奏、情节、音乐都不错，现在的确只合适电视了。
背景音乐和镜头很好看，很有生活气息。
叙事方式很有意思，节奏也压的不错，但这故事结尾也太狗血了
男人因为在国家和爱人之间选择了爱人而失去爱人并最终失去生命的故事。
男人为了爱选择背叛组织，女人为了良心离开了男人，BOSS只要杀了那个叛徒，不需要解释。
………完全冲着Pine去的 白发夹杂着还是很帅啊……不过这个故事 前面大半部分切来切去 看不太进去 后半部分特别是结局 真的好jb无语😓
打着谍战外衣的爱情苦情片。开局不错，还算精彩。极少的外景和动作场面，剧情推进全靠对话，还有大量穿插叙事，结尾相当狗血，一个小伎俩使久经沙场的特工束手就擒，打着爱的名义叛国，涂害了百余人的性命！
我不介意你们zzzq黑白配,但能不能不要找老到50岁,长得也不好看的女的来演爱情戏,看得太出戏了.找哈里贝瑞来演还能更接受一些
看杨玏总有匆匆那年渣男既视感，在一起久了后的不用心太真实，现实中分手后双方都在默默等待的比较难得，永远心存美好吧
意外的惊喜，最后结尾然后背景音响起，简直是太震撼了
没静下心来看此片时我会打2～3分，后来回头补看了一段，发觉值得5分，希望你不要错过这部好片。（前部的确会感觉枯燥无味，请相信，请坚持下去）
三星半，还不错的层层抽丝剥茧揭秘底，第一层当年破不了这过了8年了更难啊这破事无解死局，第二层不对啊前副局有问题嘛怎么鬼鬼祟祟的，第三层女主也不大对劲啊拿到副局信息怎么不上报，第四层女主反击其实当年就发现男主有问题是内鬼这次也是提前布局专门来抓鬼的，第五层男主当年确实卖情报了但是情非得已为了救女主没有别的选择，第六层男主喝了毒酒毒发身亡最后也没有杀女主，女主则全身而退回家抱孩子
5分 黑白配的感情戏让人一点感觉都没有，这老娘们50了，而且全片穿插太多了，还双线叙事，麻了，几个场景不是餐厅就是咖啡馆，办公室。更要命的是剧情，男主找内奸，找了半天原来自己是内奸，当年为了救女主。最后女主都嫁人是2个孩子的妈了，暴露身份也不给杀手下命令，不就是还爱着她么，可这爱情戏，我压根入不了戏啊导演编剧。
题材还可以，就是情侣设置稍稍差点意思，不刺激
这么有张力的剧本，这么细腻的演技，这么恢宏的摄影，居然只有这么点分。看不惯，打个五星。
反转的很温柔，通篇场面异常温和，使人昏昏欲睡😪
看完电影，感想 1.列出那间Camel-by-sea的餐厅去看一下落日 2. 悬疑爱情线“I love you and I am so tired（没说出口的tired to love you？）” 3. 爱是保护么？还是坦诚相待，始终努力在一起？想起来粉丝对Yibo说，你好你坏我都在。。。这才算是真爱吧。就是发现对方犯了错，也要说清楚问清楚，知道为什么，可能我的性格只能这样，不能做到错爱之后逃避（宁愿死，宁愿直击渣男）
一段情、一份爱，直叫人生死相许啊！以为是个谍战、悬疑片，结果是成了小成本的爱情片，呵呵……
换个女主譬如JLO我就忍着慢节奏看下去了，餐厅的日落景色真的很漂亮，NCIS夏威夷的酒吧招待员！
你确定这种题材配这种叙事对劲吗？惊悚tag是给观众的吧。我早在十分钟就有点倦怠了，往后的硬撑都是因为除了看电影也没别的事做。
