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.
劳模表演是真的赞，故事嘛……对我们这种真正的共产主义者（doge）来说，所有宗教题材都麻麻的。
靠传教赚钱，最终被本性击败的两口子。不仅看到美国人反智的一面，也看到宗教助攻总统上位的一面。反正不管犯了多少错，同性恋，挪用公款，相互背叛，监禁150年，没啥是一顿祈祷解决不了的。政治家控制宗教，宗教洗脑民众，美国依然沿袭着几千年前的政治传统。劳模姐值得最佳化妆。7.2
妆发和男女主的演技都一流，但故事欠缺深度，属于那个年代的🇺🇸美国
传记片的基本盘，但全然是不平衡到与最佳剧本背道而驰，原型人物的弧光会被什么样的制作抹平呢？两星半
7.3/10 她值得一部电影，将她的真实展露，将她的爱与乐观传递。但是本片对于塔米·菲内核的着墨太少，很浮于表面。
很少能对角色这么感兴趣了，五星献给劳模的表演，看完打算搜搜Tammy
p.s.劳模姐贡献了一次整容级别的演技，的确是这届奥斯卡最有力的竞争者。
怀念以前的哆啦a梦呜呜（有的地方好好笑啊哈哈哈）
巨失望，越来越大人话和现实化。用抖音全球式烂梗填充元宇宙，一顿花里花俏，本质就是《星球大战》，美国用《阿波罗》怀旧太空梦，用哆啦A梦做引，拍《星球大战》，《大人国与小人国》，巨人善良与小人狭隘，宇宙跳跃，宇宙飞船大战，反战，塞的满满当当给人们，最后用和解善良的友情结尾，哦！友情与善良的确是一切的解决。
很程式化的美国梦人物的崛起与陨落故事，杰西卡查斯坦的妆容和表演很有说服力，安德鲁加菲尔德自带一种天真喜气，两人校园恋爱虽然短暂，但是控制不住的喜悦和吸引确实很甜，找到灵魂伴侣的他们，渐渐在成功的事业中迷失，最根本的是gay老公的欺骗，让同妻塔米走向了崩坏，最终在舞台上找回自我，她最后一曲不仅感动了自己也感动了我。多荒谬可笑，只要一口咬定坚决相信，总会变成救赎的力量。
陪1.3米以下的儿子打卡，从剧情来看，前期压制后期爆发，这就是儿童爽剧吧～
可一旦虚伪的假面被撕开，真实的面目被揭露，两人瞬间从天堂般的华丽人生坠入炼狱之中。
在动画里勇敢的人能化险为夷，善良的人能逢凶化吉。
信教的和不信的、了解背景的和不了解的看这部片感受应该不同，单纯作为一部影片一个故事来看，情节合适、不沉闷不沉重不太严肃深刻，提供的信息足够了解Tammy的一生，看起来她热爱神喜爱人、有才华有野心又坚强，她老公是需要她助力、驱动却又不甘于此的双？女主表演很到位，唱的很好，妆造的功劳也很大，相比之下男主看起来一直一样，“反派”看脸没认出来，但听他讲话瞬间回到“金并”。//关于婚姻的那段对话太现实，女人在婚姻中想做妻子而不是母亲，需要男人做丈夫而不是儿子，但是男人常常是个男孩，会对需要成长为男人这件事感到压力和委屈，最终双方皆疲惫。
暗号，天赐我们自由。食用建议：吃爆米花滑手机／睡到最后半小时再看。
在选题上比《朱迪》更胜一筹（当然仅限于学院的喜爱程度上而不是票房潜力），剪辑很差，剧情也实在不喜欢，但给劳模整容演技加一星
四平八稳而又平庸乏味的传记片，按照惯例，突出表演，给足了男女主角表现的空间，是否过火见仁见智，劳模姐好过加菲。
哎呀…2022年实至名归，给他妈妈买那件大衣让我哭了好几遍。
好坞制传记啊【yawn【越往后劳模姐越出彩，年轻戏份还有点生硬（可能是因为塞嘴里的假体过于明显？）到后来就大杀特杀了。对我来说说服力不够的大概是Tammy Faye的声音可能不够…evangelical？热情倒是够了【或许是因为我atheist【【加菲在旁边一比好弱…是连妆造都弱下去的那种程度。整体很平无甚波澜，最大功用（？）大概是把Tammy Faye这个传奇人物生平大致工整地讲出来了吧。
以下话语出自娃:好看，而且还挺感动的，我看儿童电影挺乖的。这个电影充满了我喜欢的地方，而且打的也挺好的。
