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.
终于看到了，这部节奏非常快，剧情直白，直接秒了个大BOSS。
解锁新电影院Neufahrn 五条颜粉真的好多 知道为什么叫纯爱战神了
五条悟的心会痛吧。
为了社交活动看的。看了三集动漫然后去看的电影。就感觉还行吧，不是很喜欢动漫的这种感觉，总觉得热血的莫名其妙，虽然确实有被一些美女辣到。最不开心的是熊猫莫名其妙开maki胸玩笑的那段，有必要吗，男人……
百鬼夜行这部分属实不太行，让各人物出来收拾几个龙套野怪刷刷存在感就完了，百鬼夜行果然还是GANTZ最经典。前传的故事我认为比较老套，提不起什么劲，正篇的故事我还是更期待看到怀玉篇。
火影的印记太重了，真纯爱战士，少量战斗场面，大部分应该着重刻画的都一笔带过了，剧情简单，就是一般的动漫电影
远超预期, 给Mappa和芥见下々点赞。中间有一段怀玉篇的神插入非常喜欢。片尾要是再加个本传三人组的彩蛋就好啦, 譬如gojo带megumi见乙骨的四格? #失礼了我们可是纯爱##被秀了一脸的夏油"那我就是大义"# 22.05.18. 港村V Walk GH, 第二阶段放宽前一夜
夏五永别那段五条悟颜值是全片经费高光吧哈哈哈哈。
剧中悟和杰的对话，剧末悟和乙骨对话没字幕，有空补全
没看过动漫 被拉着去看电影 还ok有被带入
忧太和里香真的是意难平，但是个人觉得不化解诅咒也挺好的，两人可以相互守护，一起变强。
嗯，，加入的高专回忆我直接be like EMOTIONAL⬆️DEMAGE⬇️ 话说既然加上了新宿麦当劳分手，为什么不加上“你想杀就杀吧，你的选择都有意义”啊！？？呃啊啊啊啊啊
自己说自己纯爱哈哈哈哈哈哈。就略低于预期。不过有的看就不错了。
虽然没有看过TV版，但是剧情让我想到这不是x战警第一部嘛。五条悟(x博士)捡回了忧太(金刚狼)和一群学员对抗夏油(万磁王)的故事。
这味太冲了，全程在想真嗣。在人柱力等火影元素和死神的墟等元素之后又加上了eva，嗯…………
从节奏到剧情，基本是对原作的重现。
你们纯爱了不起啊？恩...可能，确实...
特级里香又酷又爱吃醋 被凶秒怂 真舍不得她走～
我们可是纯爱！@pcy @zyh @hsy @chz
太好看了。剧情台词到战斗场面，无一不精。5t5 乙骨yyds！
