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.
影片的对应年龄不能超过15岁，太低幼了，很多bug导致影片角色故事根本立不住，典型的把观众当傻子，据两个例子，1.索尼克与尼克鲁斯第一次见面逃走用汽车逃？索尼克都能水上漂，强行加一段飙车戏。最后博士都获得绿宝石了，结果就利用它制造了个反浩克装甲……
这种流行元素漏洞百出，不是漏洞变多了，而是人变老了，我变老了。人设还是可爱的。
花了三个晚上看完的，有够催眠
真人的部分是真的没必要，那段斗舞也是尬出天际了。
这部剧可以缩减到四十分钟。两个小时拍出来的剧情完全可以在打斗中几句话说明白。
比较低幼，但比第一部好看，这次索尼克塑造的比第一部讨喜多了，场景更加宏大，打斗也更有趣，游戏元素结合的也恰到好处
看起来很欢乐，双尾妹好乖呀，合家欢动漫，最后彩蛋暗示下一部反派角色，片头片尾想起自己玩游戏的时光
比较无聊，索尼克变身你说不是借鉴的超级赛亚人我是不信的。
就一个很普通的电信诈骗的故事，建议韩国也搞个反诈中心app哈
意外的有点好看，比较合家欢向，应该很适合大荧幕
这个我朝是真的能翻拍，同样深受其害，又有社会意义，这次工信部宣传口也花点钱吧，趁我们战狼没老，比卞约汉还能打，拍境外电信诈骗坏人在境外，也没什么审查禁忌，不考虑弯弯的话，我们就™把诈骗团伙的境外基地放在韩国然后狂黑他们，友情互黑嘛。
盼星星盼月亮终于盼到김무열xi又演反派alpha male大坏蛋了！
能力时有时无的毛病第二部没有任何改善，最后叫了声老爸？这是我完全不能接受的
现实题材，电影情节和设定基本能自圆其说，反派把“变态”很好表现出来，节奏和画面紧张刺激，问题是，把沈阳拍成西安真的很业余。
比起第一部，场面大了，视觉上的冲击更炸裂了，对于此类型电影，足够了
3.5。 主题还是很有时效性的，但是公益广告拍这么长未免浪费社会资源。 再者说，你讲电信诈骗就诈骗，老打架干什么。
节奏紧张但细节不足，很多人说被骗太简单，但实际上被骗的人都是一些有所求，有欲望，有关心的人受骗。骗子抓住的是一颗太过在乎的心。另外永远不要用钱去衡量人性，因为你还不起。
这种流行元素漏洞百出，不是漏洞变多了，而是人变老了，我变老了。人设还是可爱的。
前半部很好，后半部乏力，但总体还是推荐。
虽然有的情节有些尬，但没想到一个儿童向的片特效场面这么丰富，派拉蒙还算良心，要是给索尼第一部赚了续集继续低投入来最大化收益，绝对是目前五大里最不思进取的公司
