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.
3星半。制作上很不错，有高清的怀旧画风人物，也有爽快的机战，不过考据党可能不太满意过于拟人化（灵活）的机体了。剧情编排上可能不太恰当。意识形态的东西据说有问题，不过毕竟是几十年前的作品改的嘛。
男主作为一名刚从北京毕业的大学生，韩松的想法很简单，以支教的方式给自己镀金，方便以后走捷径。可到了藏区的艰苦的生活条件让他一时恍惚。教室和宿舍都是用木板搭建的小木屋，千疮百孔、破烂不堪，厕所是露天的、宿舍是漏雨的。可是他最终选择留了下来，将他的一生奉献给草原，奉献给那里渴求知识的孩子。
作为0079前中段其中一集tv动画的剧场版，多安篇在改编上有着天然劣势，诚然对编剧也有很大的限制。但可惜的是根元岁三在缺少人物铺垫的情况下，还是选择了用人物对立矛盾这种最直接最简单但也最俗套的剧情发展去推动整个故事，相比于tv版也并没有更深入地描绘多安本身复杂的角色魅力或是探讨战争中存在的人。也许高达确实没落了，但《库库鲁斯·多安的岛》也确实本可以被拍的更精彩，实在令人遗憾。
题材很新颖，不像其他的片子很假，很真实的提现了支教生活，导演厉害
生活总该迎着光亮前行，质朴人间，赴远而行的老师，就是他们的光亮。
记得初中的时候，借过同学一盘高达主题歌的磁带，真好听啊。记得高中的时候，听过逆A gundam 的“16岁的男孩”，高达在我心中一直是温柔且充满力量，直至我心中的巅峰08ms小队，战争与和平是一个永远不会过气的话题。
全部孩子跑出来，突然不害怕战争了。山羊最耀眼，孩子怎么知道斧头是多安，白色是阿罗姆
还不错～有一丢丢0080的味道～人物刻画比较浅，但战斗戏码属实好看～甚至还原了几个名场面～～～有德修正拳！！！结尾的部分有点迷，单方面的废掉武力就能拥抱和平？太天真了吧。。。好歹给人家留一台新型机自保啊。。。你骡子自己咋个不先把刚大木废了呢，属于是老牌正义双标惹。3.5星
关注支教，尤其是偏远地区，更尤其是我们几乎不怎么关注的藏区支教，很温暖，又很感动
关于西藏的电影还是挺少的，又是支教题材。不错
关于高达的部分不超过半小时，但故事姑且还行。看高达来的就略显遗憾。
能明白安彦为什么会选这一部作为其高达最终作，这故事完全是高达背景下的吉卜力童话，表达了高达反战的核心；阿姆罗“白色恶魔”捅驾驶舱踩驾驶员；南十字星的人物刻画太过刻板单薄；可惜是安彦的高达绝唱了
放在30年前做成ova可能口碑会比现在好。风格比较接近于安彦的巨神高克，微妙的童话风的故事。相较于原作tv其实也就是纯扩写了。没有新的胶，NT要素也并不多，口碑相对差也可以理解。不过个人看了还是挺开心的
7分#意外的还可以，算是网大里的遗珠了叭，故事俗套但完整连贯，配上西藏的景色就很加分了～
没有花里胡哨的炫技技巧，也没有令人惊叹的特效镜头，仅仅是用主角韩松的所见、所闻、所遇，就引起了众多网友的情感共鸣。
再有，个人很喜欢这部电影主题曲以及插曲，听着特别有画面感，尤其是经由藏族学生们（才旦、德勒、拉珍、央宗）以及草原科布秀梅朵之口唱出，确实是千山之巅难得的天籁之音...
UC宇宙里难得的暖心结局，感动了！真男人就是要开扎古！
4/10. 看完了，对人物的塑造真的很上世纪味(褒贬义并有)，至于岛原来就几个人一下子变20个，姑且不论合理与否，制作组高兴就好。 我的感想是内容很水+偶尔那那点情怀片段来填充，两倍速看的都嫌慢，把时长对半砍的效果应该会稍微好些许...... 萝卜打戏也不好看。
事先就知道风评很差 所以降低了期待值 结果自己的观感还是不错的 反战的内核很光头 细腻的笔触很安彦 像是披着高达外皮的吉卜力田园乌托邦片 尽管节奏确实有些急人 孩子们确实聒噪了点 不过都还能忍 战斗戏码也不算偷懒 外加美如画的作画 还是值得一看
当做一部0079的剧场版看就好了嘛！虽然没有闪哈那么好，但是在22年能看到一部现代化风格的0079真的很感动～
