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.

没看过前一部，鉴于现在市面上没有什么丧尸片，随手点开打发时间的，一款白噪音，它确实起到了这个作用。
This soundtrack is great
[pc]R血，生物解药，生物控制，势力博弈，姐妹同心
印度出品的LGBTQ文艺片也能看到鸡皮疙瘩掉一地……
就最后在家里办婚礼那块还不错，为啥老爸这么过分爱大女儿呢，我觉得关注小女儿太少了，这个房子我也好喜欢，不大不小正好。
延续了第一部的风格，总体来说没什么突破，打戏更多了些。反派还是光头哥，但明显打算换主角，上一部的主角兄妹不但半场才出现，最后还特么死了？！！不能接受啊(◦`~´◦)
哈哈哈哈轻喜剧消磨时间很不错 笑点也是有的～节奏不错 女主真的好好看啊
很枯燥 很没有表现力 有点故作玄虚
捋一下：一个美国中情局在莫斯科收买的下线策划了一场劫机依靠中情局特工的情报最后成功的杀掉了二百多人……但其实这是一部谍战环节十分儿戏的爱情片。
不如第一部了，第一部有些新奇的设计，算是有创意，第二部就成了萧规曹随了，没有任何创新，都是按照第一部的旧剧情继续发展，还是杀人制药的军队和自由战士的对抗。我给3星6.3分！
真有质感啊这片子拍的，一点不刻意
僵尸女王成功完成了它的传承，信任女王也找到了她忠诚的骑士
我觉得我自己跟这个古巴老爸特别像，真的，包括身边的认识的一些人以及部分家人，感觉就是alpha型人，生活上的事什么都要说，固执，看到最后他婚礼上的发言stubborn想到了，但是心肠好，心思细腻。我希望我以后能改一下，毕竟人不是觉得你是什么人才跟你相处，而是从你身上感受到了什么才觉得你是什么人，除了家人能包容我们之外，在外面很容易吃亏，但是具有极强的攻击性和领导力也是优点，希望能取长补短，更进一步，日日精进吧。
演员都是挺喜欢的，剧情实在是太无聊了，像是Netflix会制作的那种电影
居然能用殭屍氣烤肉，種菜，番茄南瓜，哈哈哈😆
图一乐可以看看
比第一部画质提升了不少，中间有点闷，结尾打地堡节奏很好，前期男主的小窝真的有创意，把光合燃料丧尸发挥到极致，物尽其用啊。反派死法有点狗血，能猜到的那种。不过立意不错，镜头语言也独具一格，牛啊
学英语，主要还是老戏骨吧，年轻的剧情不太好看，外国片滤镜真舒服
僵尸还可以用来发电？还可以用来开车？还可以用来开摩托车？？？
