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.
劳米姐从来不曾让我失望，尤其是地下室绑她老公嘲笑那段，表演太棒太自然了
相当不错的cult喜剧，喜欢老爹。不过片尾出现的那部电影应该会挺难看的（
哈哈哈，来自北欧的黑色幽默还是一如既往啊，人渣夫妻的救赎，只是可惜了男主的老父亲，一团烂泥里的唯一莲花，好人死的可惜了……一段失败的爱情想要恢复光彩需要些什么呢?
唯一理解她的是威尔
可惜在非常多的关键时刻，居然会放弃持械，放弃补刀，还是没有爽到位。
电影真是又重口又搞笑，每每是菊花一紧然后开怀大笑，细节里满满对当下现实社会的讽刺，metoo运动、政治正确、好莱坞编剧的天马行空，这一切居然可以如此完美融入黑色幽默片中剧情，看这部血浆版的《史密斯夫妇》绝对值得！
结局亮眼，这个本子估计各个国家要抢着翻拍了，当然，咱们是没戏的
还蛮有意思的，搞笑又紧张，充满了北欧小戏剧的惊喜
在挪威风光宜人的林湖小屋中，一对即将破产反目为仇为争夺对方的保险金即将你死我活的夫妻，在被三个越狱的杀人不眨眼的罪犯斗智斗勇中，依靠男主父亲挺身而出慷慨赴死的精神鼓舞，杀死了越狱的罪犯，重新获得爱情和事业。
前面有点单调，后来打起来好看了一点。我还以为劳米这次不用反纳粹了呢，我错了。反纳粹战士一直在战斗，从未停止。
哈哈最后问了一句 你是怎么把桌球藏起来的 而且还是三个
真的是拳拳到肉血肉横飞，各种不断反转，我竟然还是在吃饭的时候看的。可真下饭😭
各种巧合加意外加反转加倒叙，总体上还算不错，不过还不能说特惊艳，是因为这类型电影已有珠玉在前。不过主角是两夫妻还是有创意的，夫妻关系在度假中跌宕起伏，人生也自此翻转，有讽刺也有真意。还挺好玩。
结尾黑的可以…
四级反转，坑爹的衰仔导演和演技浮夸的演员妻子的逆袭之路。

以及，真是孝死人了【字面意思】
写的太散了差一口气的，观看者只能与整体女性对于身份和生育的焦虑共感，实际上很难与女主共鸣，甚至不太能理解女主到底是怎么导致目前状态的。
虽然知道是屎尿屁，但也不能爽就完事了呀，前戏乱套，结构无趣，可恨的是连根事后烟都没有，片子的BUG和各位傻逼角色的各种脑残行为已经不是可以随便笑笑说一句“啊呀，没关系，反正是一部爽片。”就算了的程度了，一个反派出门前手里拿着猎枪，出门后竟然用小刀去威胁女主，类似无脑桥段到中后段几乎五分钟一个，极度影响观看，要说暴力、血浆、重口味，那真还差远了。整一个四不像。
8分吧，结尾加一分（剧本打磨的不够好）
