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.
平淡得非常纯粹，是在以后某一个安静的晚上会拿出来重看的电影。
什么烂七八糟的悬疑，国产制片人导演编剧是不是对悬疑有什么误解啊。
非常温柔非常美好 感觉是一种很独特的新浪潮
喜欢他们之间的相处 简单 快乐 又彼此独立 是家人也是朋友 我爱这样的巴黎 是易碎的 是浪漫的 写字 看书 读信 听电台 没有互联网的束缚 没有焦虑 一家人做着喜欢的事情 互相包容 是平等的关系 儿子会接妈妈下班回家 妈妈会送自己的日记孩子 他们的爱是相互的 独立的 互不牵绊的
竟然是2022年的新片，一点也没看出来，把八九十年代的感觉重现得很完美，深夜电台热线、图书馆和音乐，迷失与重新发现希望
向往自由的灵魂 有烟吗？想抽一根了 就是，尽管我已经是两个孩子的母亲，尽管我已接近五十，但我还是拥有自我，有重来一次的机会和勇气！仍然热爱生活！仍然充满希望！
文艺 非常的文艺 少数能看的进去的文艺片 中年危机 青春期的叛逆 苦苦挣扎 最后和解 中规中矩
算很出彩的一部国产电影了，惊喜连连。不知道有多少人能懂这个梗：他是我爸，却打我马，这样对吗？

“导演，咱这部电影观众能看懂吗？”“不一定，但我觉得这片子一定能留下来，因为我们做到了一件正确的事——问心无愧。”
“她只是个女孩子，她只想唱歌跳舞她有什么错？”
一些漫不经心的小事，一些轻盈浪漫的文艺感，注入深沉浓烈的个人情绪，别有一番风味
很温柔的一部给生活的情书，有巴黎独有的浪漫气息，但是叙事有点散，4星
太过于男性视角了，极度不适，最后还要矫揉造作讴歌一下作为艺术家的良心。（合着拍出这样的片子就是有良心的控诉呗）。梦蝶的台词也总是让人不适，过于做作。反正就是一起玩一个无聊的游戏，然后说一些非常正确的话。像教小孩三观似的。
剧本杀式的推理悬疑电影，辅以搞笑的段子、无厘头的情节、戏谑的迷影梗、隐射现实（电影行业、掌权者的游戏与弱点）让人看得津津有味。
只是确实执行力不行。剪辑乱且碎，影响质感为0。另外，希望现在的国产片都能对自己有点数，没事不要动不动就超过2小时的时长。要懂得取舍。
看这部电影的一天是工作最忙的一天 忙着scb的事情 gdbc的合并 下午开了一下午会 晚上了边工作边看 晚安😴
因为上映后一水的好评，所以我是抱着相当高的期待走进电影院的，但是它真的让我非常失望。在我看来，这部影片更像是剧本杀综艺的升级版，质感甚至比不上网大。大量室内戏的设置也许是出于节约成本的考虑，但这也大大暴露了导演的水平不足。起码在前一小时，我看不到任何有想法的场面调度，演员的表演也乏善可陈。电影的核心案件和市面上成熟的剧本杀作品别无二致，缺少新鲜感。舞台感极重的服化道还有布景也让我无法入戏，仿佛在看剧本杀综艺。
甘斯布眉宇间的英气是藏不住的，虽然她在剧中刻意羸弱，说话也是压着嗓子。
女主真的好有气质啊，慵懒的法式女人。talulah超级美，陶瓷娃娃一般。全欣赏美女去了 哈哈哈
