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.
小男孩JR的童年中虽然父亲缺位，但是身边有查理舅舅这么一位角色充当了其人生导师/朋友/家人/心理咨询师的位置，（but！绝不是充当了父亲的位置。）
故事就真的是一句剧情简介可以概括的，平淡如水，看点也就是电影里一直缺失的舅舅做人生导师的形象，大本带着外甥一路出现的那些好听的歌曲。
剧情太繁琐 没有什么看下去的欲望 反而最后去看了讲解 笑死
就像大多数人不会去咖啡店买一瓶矿泉水。
警察踩灰是肯定要出问题的，不踩，案子办不了。
又是闭眼入的卡司阵容，但是韩影警匪片日渐式微是大势所趋，剧本、导演功力都不行。就看个戏骨飙戏好了。
中规中矩、四平八稳的自传体回忆录，最大的亮点是本阿弗莱克的表演，这在其演绎生涯中也是很鲜有的 ★★☆
在黑白之间游走的贯彻自身正义的警探，有点像日本电影《孤狼之血》系列。
蝙蝠侠和美国队长各自都已经演过超级好的（梦想有个这样的）舅舅了。昂～
还行，其他什么狗，也就真人版rick能看。
单纯的白男……唯一的看点就是新鲜的又很寡的大本🥺🥺
演员配置不错，整体就韩国流水线式的警匪片，没啥亮点
一个不负责任的渣爸，一个望子成龙的妈妈，一个善于玩弄感情的女朋友，还有一段糟糕的被NYT拒绝的实习经历，其实挺悲惨的。有人说看不懂这部电影想要表达什么——但是，从最微观的角度讲，JR能在如此糟糕的成长环境里环境里，遇到一个集真善美三位一体的舅舅和他的”狐朋狗友”，能考上耶鲁，能有一个志同道合的同学，能感受到生活的温馨和美好，还能怀揣着儿时作家的梦想并为之奋斗，能勇敢打破自己残存的幻想，已经是对生活最积极的回应。生活，其实不需要太在意别人的看法，豁达一些。
过了二十多年，《心灵捕手》里的大本还在小镇里痛苦挣扎，却也自学到了满腹的理论。这次送别的不是坚强的绝对天才，而是更脆弱、更自卑、更像个普通人的人才。电影意外地温柔，可惜这温柔的力度太轻，撑不过电影结束后的十分钟。
类似自传的成长剧，温馨中更多是无奈和人生的感悟。
拥有时代感的色调和音乐、还有小本已经成大叔了
犯罪黑警组织片。一个联合了很多警方人员的秘密组织，他们通过与一些犯罪组织交易获取高额利润，有的人利用这些前自行享受，有的却用这个钱去抓更坏的坏人，用途不同，立场不同，正与邪也不尽相同
略微有点没看懂…比如 除掉罗英彬怎么就是为了车东哲了 再比如 最后崔民载讲那一段咋就能把朴刚尹给放出来了… 不过高潮部分蛮精彩 朴刚尹中弹后 没有用传统的升格 倒像是抽帧 感觉蛮独特的 还有朴刚尹被逮捕时 和崔民载的对视 仿佛包含了无奈、释怀等许多情绪
一直寻找父亲，发现其是糟糕的酒鬼。舅舅无微不至的关爱让他成长。
看到赵震雄就想起了《信号》，就像看见崔宇植就想起了魔女里面的坏小子。
