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.
（但是说实话，我接受不了这种事）
我并不认为人类可以被代替，如果我能在对方心里留下重量，死亡可怕吗？
和《双重躯体》做交叉观影大概会很恶趣味www
全片最值得探讨的地方是男主的那个噩梦，克隆人不是机器人，是人的复制品，片中的男主展现出来的都是温柔善良，所以他的复制品也是如此多愁善感善解人意，可人心易变，男主其实曾经不喜欢小孩，也在女主对他的冷遇期出过轨，那谁能保证他的克隆人会一直完美下去？这简直是凄美包装下的玻璃渣。
4.5-从《廊桥遗梦》哭到《天鹅挽歌》。不去深究那些深刻的伦理观念，重要的是我爱你，我还能继续爱你。
虽然题材老套了些，但是确实让人后怕。如何定义我，如何确定我还是那个我，没有被克隆人取代？
对死亡的恐惧时常让人错失了好好告别的机会。科技 伦理的课题还要讨论太久，也许永远没有答案。

4. 吃巧克力那段，我也混淆了。
无论是临终告别还是爱和你能否克隆继续，都是非常喜欢的母题，气氛表演美术都可谓优质极点，但仿佛还是差了点什么，框架和表达多于情感和真挚。
命题很好但展开的太浅薄 人的情感太复杂了 以及科技都到了可以复制意识的程度却治不了绝症…我不理解
音乐深沉，画面高级，情感充沛，表达克制，可以明显的感受到生命从身体中流逝的样子。
1.“爱”真的太美好了。2.前15分钟没有很好地建立起对这个新世界的印象，扣分。3.男主第一次听克隆人和自己妻子视频通话爆发争吵的那场戏，非常妙。4.“get well soon”是我喜欢的那种幽默。5.节奏非常舒服的片子，情感克制，观感良好，我喜欢。
很奇怪为什么豆瓣上大多数人都在讨论道德困境，人之将死才去复制自己，牺牲自己几周的生命，换取家人的幸福，我想大多数人都会做出和男主一样的选择。这里根本不存在什么道德困境，所以本片展现的也根本不是道德困境。而是吧这个决定背后的艰难一点点揭开给你看。曾经的甜蜜，曾经的风雨，今后的幸福，这些都将不再属于你，当然会难过会挣扎。可是如果不去复制，这些难道不也是很快就烟消云散了吗？所以闭眼前，你知道有一个人会替你守护住这些美好和幸福，还有什么比这更好的死亡吗？就像天鹅，在自己最美的歌声里死去。
文艺伦理科幻片，拍的太闷了。本体回家告别那一段有点感人。
找一个替身继续陪伴真的是对另一半更好的选择吗
剧情往往都跟自己想的不一样，剧本很高级，拍好了，闻名于世，拍不好，臭名远扬，中规中矩，就无人知晓
阿里演技绝了，一人分饰两角，但是我能一下子通过眼神分辨出来谁是cam谁是jack；情绪感染力太强了，能体会那种一个人孤独死去的绝望感，但是家人依然能幸福生活的安慰感。
克隆技术可以复制肉体甚至记忆，但人类灵魂深处的东西却无法被替代，科幻的外衣下缓缓讲述着主题俗套内核却清新的爱情小品，阿里的表演扎实且细致入微。
我所爱过的人
