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.
现在还有女生心这么大吗？才刚认识就可以单独出去旅行……你看，恋爱脑是致命的，不论男女
傻妹子找对象没找着结果还没了块屁股肉。得不偿失啊
有研究证明，猪在恐惧中死去，肉质会变差，如果能在音乐中，快乐的死去，不会改变肉的味道。估计男主也想让这些“食物”能够快乐一点，新鲜一点。没想到最后玩大了。
还凑合吧 节凑比较慢 而且情节非常predictable 整体很无聊 这种一句话就可以概括中心思想的政治正确片真没必要拍了 也没必要看
题材故事都不新鲜，女性主义直给，女人互相救命，路上还有同性绊脚石，男人要么蠢要么坏要么胆子小，说是cult片吧杀人魔也就切了切肉，说是复仇爽片吧血浆暴力都不够
要是个欧洲片能细腻很多，后半美式处理太随意了点。这个片子能在Disney+上看到也是有点奇幻。
一点也不好看，也不紧张也不刺激，也没有悬疑。。。甚至感觉剧情有点拖沓，人物设定也没有太多公用，看了个寂寞！
没错，很PC，但一定要鼓励。“愚蠢的mermaid居然为了臭男人离开大海！”PS：跳舞那一段，真的太喜欢了，喜欢到赞叹连连！拍手叫好！
两倍速刷完，可以节约你无聊生命中的一个小时。 结尾甚是荒诞，就好像在说，性别平等道阻且长主要在于，女性中的叛徒使然… 另外，理论上来说，天主教教皇不是小男孩的主要买家吗，怎么会只有女性商品。
这部电影:把真事儿拍出虚假感
很难过。
人们常说除却生死无大事，但生与死真的是大事吗？云涛消散后，天堂与地狱都化为乌有，唯独宇宙永恒。
扫荡这些食人者，
回想流泪的点，不为任何一段故事情节，而是为看新闻和在剪抗疫宣传片时看过无数次的那些画面，武汉空城，拥挤的医院，昼日昼夜的消杀，解封那一刻…精致的桥段刻意的煽情在这些面前显得那么渺小，真实自有万钧之力。
反正，生活免不了落俗。要抓住每周可以见到对方两次的机会，要涂上口红去遇见，要坚持做个好人，要谢谢每一个突然出现的陌生人呀。
朋友周末夜一起看，gay蜜说，天啊，这就是明明白白告诉女人们远离直男呀，我说，女人们不需要看，也知道这一点的。哈哈哈
不重口不血腥 吃完饭看这部的看见好吃的也不感兴趣 看了半小时才出现标题 整个片子太过于冗长 很冗长 前半部分谈恋爱倒是挺美好 后半部分可以看得出来男主动了心 恋爱脑不适宜当食人魔 要我说早点吃了女主不就行了 女主也是奇葩屁股没几天就长出来了 最后硬是凑够黄黑白三皮逃脱 实在没必要没必要
北京遇上西雅图大概已经用光了导演所有的才华
嗜人医生的恋爱甜剧，够血腥，但是无脑，内容生硬，男主能吃人这么反社会了，为啥还恋爱脑，会被猎物咬掉丁丁？黑女被切了什么没交代，女主的屁股怎么长回来的没交代，黑人小哥来救结果跑了？？？最后那段反杀简直侮辱观众，每次锤变态都锤不死，一次次的逃脱追逐，简直浪费时间，太老套了...全程唯一的亮点大概就是认真做饭的男主，各种食材的特写，精心的制作方法，看的人食指大动，大概宣传人肉好吃才是导演想表达的...
