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.
四月的华人看到这部电影，肯定不好受。电影里居然还出现了《进击的巨人》中的艾伦与猴子的屠杀与绝育之争。

从电影中可以窥见到当时军国主义的一斑，来回交替的唇枪舌剑可谓是十分精彩，但也能发现最终所有异议还是都被独断专权压了下去，这场讨论最大的意义似乎只在于如何能更高效的完成对于所有犹太人的清洗。回看历史还是会觉得，集体无意识是真的很可怕，一个社会如果完全失去了道德和法律准则，终将导致绝对集权的出现。这场会议既是二战时期德意志帝国巅峰的写照，也会是其落日余晖的开始。
听你妈妈的话 她大多数时候都是对的
穿越百年的地铁隧道，回到这1931年的柏林，感觉竟然毫无违和，疯狂的女人，昏暗的走廊，喧嚣的政治，自杀的尸体，绝望的女人，不灭的感情，溺亡的作家，这一切都在炫目的焰火中燃烧成了灰烬，焦虑伴随着浮躁，政治和文学，艺术与思想，没有人能粉碎这些除了最极端的毁灭，战争！
◎由于大树褪皮般的摩擦力，分了几次来看。
魏玛式的魏玛故事，末日将至的世界反而眼花缭乱。带着任务看，才发现“学会游泳”一闪而过好几次。
虽然内容惨无人道，形式上确是平凡常见的工作会议。
“一个当代高学历社畜的消亡史”（到最后，还在期待一个比较美好的结局，大概是有点社畜惜社畜吧～
我为这样的角色感到想要忏悔，感到心痛，感到无奈，感到应该这样。感到，这才是对的，应该对抗这个时代的路。虽然知道会毁灭。但或许这是对的。

好自由的电影，不需要在意什么规则。世界都无规则，视听语言要什么语法。
既然我们都是要死的，作为一个理想主义者死去也没什么不好。
上帝关了一道门，还真的会把窗也关上，虽然这扇窗是自己关上的，虽然自己也不知道这是在关窗。
前半小时很有灵性，让我对这个作品的兴趣猛然提升。但后面两个半小时，我本应选择去读小说。好奇是这个故事本身太复杂，还是这个剪辑过乱。 ps：汤姆希林为什么一直这么帅？！
我们今天负重前行，只不过是让我们的后代能生活的更好……那背后，是1100万生命。 人，可以以正义的名义，做出无数泯灭人性的事。
全片充斥着碎片化但却温暖的情绪，事业、友情和爱情的不幸在导演的处理下都显得不太冷酷，试镜时的独白，les酒吧里和好友的轻轻一吻，咖啡馆对峙时女孩伴着Ombra Mai Fu落下的泪水，以及山雨欲来前返回家中和父母共享平静的幸福。
1931年，彼时32岁的雅各布·法比安死于溺水，在他的小本子上写着“我要学会游泳”。
故事并不新鲜，但是仍旧像一首长长的现实文学叙事诗 何去何从 看着形形色色不同的人们 却无所适从 喜欢那句“生活是一个有趣的工作”。 略讽刺政治 战争。汤姆希林拍的很有味道 有点阴郁 低沉。午夜电影很推荐。
你在柏林听什么歌 跳什么舞
