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.
战争中牺牲的每个人背后都是一个家庭，小男孩代表了传承。
魔女双生花的故事，片名The Other One说的很明确了，只是这个故事太流水账太稀碎，三条人物线编排的很乱很差，至于说着“普通话”的那群人既然说的这么烂，那请以后还是别说了。看演职员表才知道导演和编剧是一个人，作为编剧大概是想不到什么新花招了，只能把改造人写成变种人了，比魔幻更加魔幻，作为导演全片的节奏感、重点都把握不到位，哎西八，白瞎人这么期待~
唯一能看的镜头就是战斗机飞一下 感情戏真拉垮 想看老毛子能拍出来好点的剧情太难了 战斗体现的也很弱 怪我了 对老毛子电影不能有期望
又拖沓又老套，安排四个韩国人扮中国人说蹩脚中国话我也是醉了
比如成片音轨太瘪和画面的黑漆麻糊，
一五年土耳其击落俄罗斯飞机改编 实战部分还不错 其余拖沓 三星半
故事有点散，各种倒叙，让人看的莫名其妙。战斗场面少了点，但也算精彩。
战斗民族的现代战争还是第一次看，果然大国武力
🎬《天空》🌟🌟
战争场面硬核，毛子国防部赞助。情节就…好多莫名其妙的地方，开始那两架直升机也太水了
我还是觉得俄罗斯主旋律电影水平一般，当然比多数中国同类题材强一点
3、我一定要成为像你一样的军人。
俄罗斯主旋律，最后的大规模出动，现实中不好实现。不过对土耳其没啥好印象这是真的
文戏是最大败笔，近乎实战的描绘才是看点，可惜太少了！
俄罗斯主旋律电影的常规水准。真希望我们的主旋律电影也能从整体上达到这一水准，而不是只能靠吴京撑着。俄罗斯用自己的充沛武德，以腐坏的苏联尸体（还只有大半截）与时间赛跑，在一切先辈的馈赠瓦解前为自己的国家争取生存空间，客观上也为我们争取了生存空间。可惜人力有时而尽，也不可能用超出能力的战争解决一切问题。不知道如今全军投入合理却很难被称为正义的战争却深陷泥潭的俄军还能不能回想起来，当初是如何在叙利亚与巴沙尔一起为人类文明撑起承重墙的。
节奏拖沓一塌糊涂，光泼血浆还是太堕落了。
没看懂片头被围捕的飞行员跟后面的什么关系。。。
老毛子影片都得啰哩巴嗦的。这片子一小时之后开始看都没问题！战争部分可以看一看，其他部分太浪费时间！
毛子的CG和战斗场面都做得很好，但是一到剧情上就拉了胯，，，
当飞机飞得高过云层的时候，阳光会一视同仁地既照耀在飞行员，也照耀在乘客身上，只不过没了乘客飞机照样能飞向天空，而没有飞行员它就只能乖乖留在地面上。毛子的红海行动拍的挺不错的，蒙太奇很熟练，枪战很有质感，文戏可圈可点吧，塑造了一个标准的男人的形象，父亲，家人，国家
