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.

约炮APP软广没错了哈哈哈 나도 손석구 복근에 한 번 누워보고 싶다ㅎㅎ
看姐电影爱姐一次 偷名册有点太损 结尾蛮符合女主性格的 主人公配角龙套都当当才更是真实的人生吧
故事比较老套，拍得比较平庸。但整体感觉还可以。
两个极度渴望亲密关系的寂寞可怜人遇到彼此像抓住救命稻草，没有感受到心动，可能真的是爱情缺席的爱情片。全钟瑞此片造型不太适合她，不然单欣赏美女就可以给三星以上。
一些成年人的恋爱。剧本有点弱了吧故事线就一条全靠演员在撑……后半段低走，感觉有点仓促，我喜欢看大家有矛盾先谈清楚，但或许电影拍的也是另一种合理的处理方式吧，感情哪那么非黑即白呢。为两个演员加一星，孙锡久真的扑面而来的荷尔蒙，多看一眼都会腿软的程度，边亲边开门也太特么辣了。全钟瑞真的可塑性很强啊！刚看到电影入围百想了，恭喜。
我看到了橘子精的butt！！！！啊啊啊啊！！
剧情很一般，没什么新意，但是两位主演很有化学反应，演技自然且在线！孙锡久真的是个宝藏男人，越看越迷人，过分可爱，大狗狗属性无疑～～～
这种题材的电影虽然已经很老套了，但是每次看还是会有新的发现
说是谈性还是在说爱，题材一般，还是俩人演的好加分了。
我个人觉得还可以，就是剧情好多小漏洞，演员演技一言难尽吧。。。。。。
孙锡久和全钟瑞太适合演这种情欲戏码了叭！！！
孙锡久真的很难不让人着迷。和全钟瑞化学反应也很不错。

我不相信，全钟瑞我尚且觉得真的就是电影里的样子，但是孙锡久这种尤物怎么可能沦落至此！
演员不错 虽然故事俗套了点 但完成度还算可以 轻松愉快又荒诞 男女主之间营造的氛围感意外的感觉好搭 台词也蛮有意思的 一些细节处理也还可以 可惜结局仓促了点😂
记录下，韩式穿搭，女主很有趣，虽然五官没有发型遮拦时有点怪
22_016。就是一般的恋爱电影，没啥特别感觉，结尾有点弱了，全钟瑞全场都很灵
tacky但真的是我的神仙男女主！两位头顶泡沫的镜头可爱死了><
为了具子敬而看，俗套老套的剧情设定，但不难看，女主也不错，一大波船戏是《我的解放日志》爱好者们的福音，解放同好会成员们压抑的荷尔蒙得到大规模释放。
