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.
6.5分，在全球都在打拳的情况下，好久没有一部轻松的爱情片了，而且是从女生的心理与生理为出发点的，再结合当下的社交软件与自媒体撰稿，年轻导演可以学学结合形式，但电影整体的电影感还是差的。全钟瑞戏路真的开了，男主也属于有荷尔蒙的一位演员。
normal person in the normal life..
很喜欢孙锡久，全钟瑞也不错，但本子真的so boring
纯属为了全钟瑞看这种爱情片 怎么办感觉她无论演什么看起来都不正常
最喜欢女主在居酒屋里问的那句“这里有人不孤独吗”
好像票房还不错 但也只是个爆米花电影 剧情太水 女主造型好显老
剧本挺好的，小而美，没有性爱场面的约炮爱情成功故事，很工整，小金句很多，完全按照节拍表来的
故事到女主曝光起诉男主就可以结束了，全钟瑞喝得醉醺醺的样子好迷人。
每一个真事改编的故事都很励志与特别，像光荣之路，弱点等等
最终恋爱没有缺席，如期而至。一眼望到头的熟悉剧本，全靠全钟瑞的部分加分，她好漂亮好可爱再带点小性感。
韩国人，恋爱缺席？谁信啊！剧情很套路，先性后爱理念上当然可以，但实践起来必然没这么顺利，第一次约就碰到真爱这个概率为零吧。女主角这样的怎么可能没有竞争力！
很美式的运动传记片，好想体验一下运动员的人生啊。
손석구xi满脸烧酒的样子也太性感了吧啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
女生也会做春梦。因为无聊才会看杂志。在现实生活中很难达到性高潮，在春梦中比较容易。女主很主动呀，看起来很饥渴的样子。男主有点闷，内向。这个社交APP像是约炮用的。女生听到自己的呻吟声会感到兴奋。其实大家都很孤单。成年人的娱乐喝酒、性爱。为什么总是喝酒呀？一口一个，度数不高吗？
我真的很想给一星，完全没有新意的老套路、浪费了演员的演技。话说韩影现在都是丑男当道吗？男主丑的目不忍睹，女主声音难听的不可理喻…两颗星真的很大方了
先性后爱也算幸运了……更恐怖的是错把性爱当成了爱
男女主加一星。相似看体质的车导演谈这次恋爱一样，整部电影挺诙谐有趣的，韩国拍这种类型挺对我胃口的，全钟瑞很迷人很标准韩国美人那种感觉，孙五官并不算出色但是他整体形象很耐看，看起来很舒服。
这部片6.6分绝对太低了，怎么也有7.6以上，给五星是为了拉高一下平均分哈哈。舒服的小品，除了前面台词有点啰嗦，其他都挺好，四星跑不掉。
果然两个同时古灵精怪个性过强的人凑在一起会毫无火花 / 竟然是喜欢赵寅成那个导演拍的，选角想必是有很多女文青私心了！
SP就只能是SP 搞不拎清的下场就跟和前男友复合一样烦人 30岁就该喝喝该做做 保持距离 别动真格
