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.
细腻的画面，把女性敏感的第六感放大成通灵，隐忍中地承受着禁锢～强势一方随便就能判定不利于自己的家人为精神病态；坚强地反抗虐待～打着医学旗号的伪君子偏执地实施着暴力。最后的舞蹈和逃亡，看似胜利，实际代价是换一种方式将残酷继续。
影评里这句说得很好
影院上映的版本，中文化的挺彻底的，包括歌舞桥段，看的出来是花了一点心思的，真的挺适合带小朋友来影院看的。
真正的疯子正是人性的失控
看到圣母就是神迹，看到鬼魂就是疯子？还是控诉男性权威，探讨疯的界限
全程磨磨唧唧，最后结局也很坑，这分数虚高。

压抑，背景到情节到色调都压迫灵魂。虽然有些地方的色彩觉得还能做的更好，但是大体的色彩都很棒，构图很喜欢。另外两位主演都好漂亮好有气质，美女
可怕的的是，这样的事情还在眼前发生，以疯癫来欺压女性的世界，从来没结束过。
2.5。关于家庭的美好童话…歌也不太好听，没必要那么多人住一起吧，女主也是挺辛苦的，而且不懂本身就没有gift的奶奶怎么就瞧不起同是没有gift的女主了….
就这样，我们获得了自由，获得了强大，获得了永生
3.4 伴随着大提琴的风声，今晚很难分清谁才是疯子。
第一次看女神自导自编自演的电影，很喜欢这个质感。尽管一个是护士，一个是病人，但都在那个压抑的父权体制之下苟延残喘，她们的相遇也萌发了意识的觉醒，中间两人互文的画面很棒。Geneviève锁上大门，让Eugénie快走时说的那句“Je sui livre”，之后坦然成为一个病人让我很受触动。就是感觉Eugénie通灵的技能有点过于玄乎，也让影片偏离了理性而更显感性。
把女人悲惨的境地用很美的方式表达出来，惊艳!
是不是想成长为一个一流女演员，都要至少演一次疯魔？
儿时经常听这样的话，村口的“疯”女人；楼下自言自语的老婆婆，；教室角落独自面壁的女同学，都是怪人。异于常人带来了疯的刻板印象，性别的压迫带来了对女性的不公待遇。
通灵小姐遇到了一个好护士长，还有大样本随机双盲对照试验之前，医学很糟糕。
能够通灵的女主被送进精神病院，最终在护士长的帮助下成功逃离，涉及了不少流行的主题，女性的互相帮助，女性受到的精神压迫等，但笔力不是很到位，欠点火候。
尝试代入女人们的视角，被剥夺，被压迫，被虐待，被侮辱的人们的视角
到底誰才是真正得瘋子？ 看似正常的人，才是真的病人～
