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.
这部动漫看的相当于是那种情怀，但就是时长有点短，不太够看，加更吧
打斗不行，节奏不行，关键是老剧情复刻而已，毫无新意可言
虽然不是原来的制作看着有点别扭
狐妖的cp不算少，但是月红真的是最戳我，一人血书出月红3
所以月红2其实就是名侦探东方月初智破和平之城杀人事件？
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。
暂且不为制作尴尬 真爱即是正义 为小月初和红红的感情为主题曲以及为对狐妖的情怀打上五星
Trigged in every way: getting shouted by friends while playing overcooked! And clueless incompetent middle aged men that keeps lying and refusing to take responsibility
其实我比较喜欢这里面涂山苏苏的性格 ，而且8月初也一直护着苏苏，就感觉蛮甜的
画风不太好，我月初有几幕有点崩，但是结局太好哭了
专业的人做专业的事儿吧 chief双商都不咋在线 #利物浦口音这样的哦
画风不行，但新加的这些剧情补全了之前缺失的，更完整了。
填坑之作，但是真的太差了，尤其是那台词，是怎么做到两个人在一起，你一言我一语句句都不在一个频道，多1星给月红。（另外黑狐让我想起了奈落）
画风质感下降，剧情也一般，仅仅是作为剧版月红篇的补充。
只能给个一般分数，首先没有绘梦画质好，其次珠玉在前没办法带入了，再来你把雅雅做成个这是弄求呢！！！
画风可以不那么日系就更好了
画质感人啊，像极了十年前的手机拍出来的视频，弄得红红像个男人脸，这是谁导的？？？是不是换人了？？？
不管怎么样给五星吧，真人版千万不要毁我的美好呀
画风奇奇怪怪，东方月初和涂山红红的脸看着感觉就像由3D转入2D了一样，画质也不太行。抛开这些，剧情发展也大部分是缝合了之前的故事线，不过也算是串起了一条完整的线，有些之前没看明白的看了这里之后恍然大明白了。
红红的发色换了好难受啊！月红和竹业是我最喜欢的两个篇章，这部作为月红的补全，我觉得不太好啊，总觉得还不如不补，我脑补反倒更精彩一点。
