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.
热血漫就是最强的！虽然知道要演什么，但是演出了就是很厉害，构图运镜都很厉害，人物（动物？）让我一个颜狗很满意，虽然也有说教鸡汤的内容，但是他的运镜，他的构图表现力完全可以弥补这些。
喜羊羊与灰太狼真的是我小时候的童年，喜羊羊就是我的童年男神！！
另二：
和剧集差远了，剧集的草根崛起，电影的天团回归，可以处理得更好一点。
【5000多集了吧】
这系列还想用PPT骗家长的血汗钱到什么时候？
这部电影的节奏不快也不慢，平静却不平淡。它以灰色和悲伤的色调显示出平静的温暖，就像夜晚最明亮的仙后座，为迷失方向的人指引回家的道路。
这个落差是谁都无法接受的
基本上看个前面就能猜到后面 手法及格故事及格内容及格情绪及格 处处都是一个60分作品 有几处动画展现篮球过人手法啥的还是有点惊喜和电影质感的 我去那场 全场7个人 两个妈妈一个爸爸三个孩子 和我…..
看的点映。其实我真的还蛮喜欢喜羊羊的动画的（以前的）。现在这个画风实在是，丑得不行。懒羊羊失去了它原本的灵魂，灰太狼一身肌肉也不吃羊了，世界倒是和平了，可惜画风过丑。只有一点可以肯定，运动类的思路是对的，但是另起一个IP吧，干点啥不好，还能填补国产动画这方面的空白（到底是不是空白我也不知道，也许是有但我好像没有看到过）
《喜灰》这一部深深地点燃了我的篮球热血！
在你加入我们之前，我们就没输过…万能的格林公式
有一个点让我很意外：开头让人觉得这片子主角是喜羊羊，过一段让人觉得这片子主角是灰太狼，再过了一段主角又变了，然后再变主角…不是没有主角，而是试图让每个人都是主角。这个衔接手法挺弱智的，就好比让《哥斯拉2:怪兽之王》里面出现的每个怪兽都是主角。一个半小时内塞这么多“人”物很难不让人怀疑是在凑时长。
结尾：这居然是春节档我看过的最燃的电影，5000集总算等到了。
哈哈，看到了羊城的一些标致，还是挺好玩的！
大致的剧情都能猜到。。。感觉很多篮球的电影都这样，回表，翻盘。
过年陪孩子去电影院看的，有点困睡了两觉，其实动画片还是不错的。
为什么这么多人对外国动画特别宽容对国产动画却如此苛刻呢？不能理解。
漆黑的夜空中有最亮的仙后座为我指路，茫茫的人群中有父亲的关心，父亲的耐心，父亲的爱让我不在惧怕遗忘。是，还是会忘记，但心中已经养成的身体反射，让我知道他还在身边，就不用害怕。徐玄振的演技太棒了，有爆发力，也能很好的收住，每一滴眼泪都滴在了心上，女儿抓住胳膊的一霎那，真的哇的一下哭出来了。今天苏州在下雨，可以用力的哭一次。
看完了！最直观的感受：大家都是竞技体育题材，大家故事背景都主要在广州，只谈故事，这剧情大概比同年上映的某部动画电影强个1.5倍吧。人物塑造、分镜、作画、配乐、各种地标建筑彩蛋……我有太多地方想夸。但我只说一点：这部“喜灰”不是魔幻打球，而是会时不时加入闪回来解释每一个神操作背后的努力。并且在看起来赛制合乎常理的情况下，尽情展现竞技体育的精彩之处（我好像又在骂另一部了是吗，我忍不住）。
