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.
青春的躁动混杂着感染的焦虑，令三个月的夏日无比漫长，经历了恐惧的洗礼，才懂得友情、爱情与亲情的珍贵，真正的恐惧不是疾病或者痛苦本身，而是痛苦时孤生一人，正因为有彼此陪伴才能让人敢于直面恐惧。本片或许可以叫《陪戳爷度过漫长夏日》，Troye Sivan真的太适合这个婊婊的毒舌甜心。
戳爷：你他妈把我搞的像泰勒·斯威夫特一样！
（戳好瘦，霉问题，TS粉一把子满足！
戳爺和這個角色的適配度還蠻高的，比我想象中的要更出色，其實得艾最難克服的是自己這關，希望早日艾滋能夠得到根治吧
我们每个人都在和原生纠缠，都渴望爱与被爱，却也同样经历期待、自我怀疑、懊悔、不甘、遮遮掩掩地面对和逃避，甚至被遗弃，但最后都不约而同地选择了重新来过，即使不能装作什么事都没有发生过，就像是一种脱口大骂的宿命。
6/10。简单的故事，平铺直叙，虽然没什么深度，但整体的风格、节奏与摄影看着都满舒适的，尤其是配乐，选得实在太棒了。
虽然存在感染艾滋的可能性，但是色调还是那么鲜亮充满了朝气。这个夏天过去了一切都会好起来，又会回到那个充满阳光的沙滩。
男二出来的时候我愣了一下。
没有想象的那么好

流了好多眼泪，没有想象中大量的战争画面，只是简单的展现无辜的人民是如何被那群极端民族主义者羞辱折磨以及屠杀，失去亲人的青年为了复仇毅然决然地加入民兵，七十岁的音乐老师为了他死去的孩子们拿起步枪，厌恶战争珍爱家庭的vlad也在妻儿被轰炸死亡后重拾军人的身份。现在，乌东人民终于迎来了他们的解放，希望赶紧重建被战火摧毁的城市，祝福他们拥有和平稳定和美好的生活。
Waiting doesn't mean you shut down. It doesn't mean you turn yourself into the kind of person that lets the world decide who you are and what you can do.
你戳真的不是个好演员，这个角色也设计的让人烦厌和平面，几乎可以想象到如果是安德鲁海格来导这部，绝对是比这个更稀释，但是情感饱满好几倍，而不会是这样浅显的体验
戳爷的颜，配上超市营业员的克莱因蓝马甲，少年感「咻」的一下就出来了。至于剧情什么的，在爆棚的荷尔蒙阴影之下，显然已经没那么重要了。
当代人没有安全感的人保护自己方法，就是把别人推的很远，或者是把自己在乎的人伤的遍体鳞伤。
故事其实挺残酷的，但拍得很轻巧，导演竟然是一个完全的新人，主演特洛耶希文对我而言，也完全是新人，从没看过他之前任何作品，但表演真是不错。顺便一提，影片的音乐也很棒，非常契合夏天
配乐好听，剧情有些无聊。反映了少数人群的一些特点，但又有点似曾相识和不痛不痒。
要什么男/女朋友，最靠得住的还是闺蜜。导演蛮懂的，戳吃东西的样子真欲。
我戳美翻啦 片头阳光海岸骑车的复古画面太🍵了 虽然被剧透bl线be了 但这部就是戳美颜纪录片而已吧 希望戳多下海 毕竟🍵已经上岸了 ps trouble 太好听了 海滩戏🖐🏻️⭐
戳爺神顏 音樂好聽 色調初夏 故事是成長的煩惱
