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.
评分低了，不要相信豆瓣上多数中国人的评分，这片绝对值6.8分以上
情节有说不通的地方，有点草率，制造了反转但是太过刻意，唯一的lesson就是两个女生出去度假要多加小心啊……
「寂寞的時候會想要寫一首歌給你，想你現在會不會也有一點孤寂。」
千万不要错过开头，非常好看，搞不懂为什么评分都没过六
音乐听的好紧张，最后的小反转有点意思，但有的剧情想画问号
好无聊好套路的剧情，但凡多放两分钟克罗地亚美景都能多一星。女主一发现点证据就往厕所钻是什么毛病？
.....................
。。这纪录片吗，相遇到最后没有一点变化还是这样。。话说的尺度也就这样啊。。从叙事文到议论文真的很难。。
剧情挺紧凑的 只是每一次反转有点禁不起推敲 做个下饭的电影还是可以的 Queen B变化太大了 岁月催人老啊 青春的颜值巅峰已经不在了
这个结局真的就是两脚就解决了？警察大妈竟然不懂怎么保护当事人居然在电话里喊我们来了？烂尾啊烂尾，房东存在的意义就为了让监控这趴出来？啊 槽点过多
所以说 警察是坏人 很多警察都是伪装成正义使者的坏人 坏透了 因为掌握了规则 因为拥有便利为所欲为 最终 坏人赚得盆满钵满 凸(艹皿艹 ) 这个剧是翻拍的 怪不得我觉得眼熟
好无聊好套路的剧情，但凡多放两分钟克罗地亚美景都能多一星。女主一发现点证据就往厕所钻是什么毛病？
悬疑、转折是这部故事片的最大特点。究竟是谁杀了贝斯的闺蜜？不到最后，还真不好说。贝斯有“产后抑郁症”，赴约与闺蜜度假，卷入闺蜜离奇死亡的漩涡，脱不了干系。挺有趣的故事，价值观也很正。除了“主角光环”稍大，没有太多硬伤。值得一看的悬疑惊悚片。
感觉每一个前段都看过，所以每一个所谓的反转都没有惊喜，好在很短，最后用快进看完的，就一般般
先是看了韩国版，之后是国产版，现在是法国版……
还不错，虽有些小bug，但是总体剧情挺顺畅
如果你对故事情节不熟悉，没看过原版。它会以意想不到的方式给你带来惊喜，这将是一部带有疯狂动作元素的犯罪片。
剧本是有清晰的故事线与结构的，但是导演的技术表现似乎不太达标：充斥通篇的细节bug、三流的画面、反转揭露的刻意、稀碎的剪辑以及网大质感的表演等等。
为了绕回来让老公当凶手真的是煞费苦心了，连监控里的人是谁都认不清了……
搞了半天就这么…不过还好女主有脑子看了不会生气..
