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.

前半部分还是挺吸引人的，悬疑氛围拉满，后半部分太狗血，真心堪比1818黄金眼。最后强行拔高主题很突兀。
除了几个转折点外大部分内容都很流水账，而且最后接近二十分钟跑题严重。明显故事概念没熬熟就拍出来，大概也是因为阿莫多瓦这种多产导演不管如何还是会按时间出作品而不会磨太久。
虽然佩内洛普·克鲁兹演得很出色，但这剧情未免也太狗血了一些。
妹妹的角色演技有些出戏。
一开始看以为是亲情片，接着看下去以为同性片，最后发现原来是部历史政治片，阿莫多瓦不愧是大师一部片子杂糅着么多元素都不会觉得乏味，骚潘还是那么美演技又好
母亲/孩子的关系是阿莫多瓦电影中的交叉主题之一。这次他构建了一个紧张、凄美的情节剧，情节又被铭刻在历史背景中。电影最后突然升华为谈论过去而不是未来，谈论历史而不是角色，让一位单身母亲融合了私人、民族和家庭的宏观上来了。
伊森霍克出场不到10分钟吧 糅杂多种类型的惊悚在最后出来的成片可以说是相当难看的可怕 虽然一众小朋友都表演的特别用力 …
勉勉强强的片子，只有一处jump scare被吓到。这两年恐怖片都很烂，所以感觉还行。
近些年少有的恐怖精品，经得起推敲，非常朴素纯粹，虽然一丁点恐怖都没有。另外，几段“黑暗影像”相当出彩，这是奇博导演最拿手的，类似《险恶》的杀人录像。
还行。2022-7-23 20:29:33
1.平行也会错位，母亲未必天然。2.历史的父亲揭露（uncover）湮没的遗存而确认，现实的母亲忍受（bear）失去的痛苦而释怀。3.5
和强烈的 逃避的欲望
个人与国家，新生儿与妈妈，平行映照，阿莫多瓦是个缝合怪。性取向的反复流动缺乏一些说服力。
和强烈的 逃避的欲望
#NYFF59#据Penelope说早在《All About My Mother》的宣传时期阿尔莫多瓦就跟她讲过整个故事的构思了，这么多年了还能把当初的idea拍出来也是很厉害。用女主想要挖掘在内战时被处决的曾祖父的坟墓引出母亲与下一代传承的点子蛮有意思的，孩子认亲就跟发掘坟墓一样是对历史的追寻和closure，内核是一脉相承的。而女主与另一位母亲Ana的故事又是特别的阿尔莫多瓦，感情浓烈，让人想到了Julieta。Penelope的表现很不错啊，奥提有望。
不那么像是阿莫多瓦的，但一定是Penélope的❤️🔥
个人与国家，新生儿与妈妈，平行映照，阿莫多瓦是个缝合怪。性取向的反复流动缺乏一些说服力。
问题主要集中在中后段两人形成全新却又陈旧的关系后，情感出现断裂不再流动自如；内核表达/叙事动机的过于暴露削弱了表层抓马应有的反作用力（前半段真好看…
三星半。略有点狗血，但对女性的那种母性刻画细腻温柔，用对女性的书写来叩问历史、讲述“落叶归根”，即使两条线的融合不是很好。
