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.
以上两句手动删除……
乱七八糟的虚假情节 但是咩真的太漂亮了！哭戏好有感染力！十元一如既往得美如画报。
好好自爱，别搞啥子接力棒。
剧情太扯了，怎么可能个个老公都那么好太魔幻了
我禁不住疑惑，拍这个是在反讽优子变态？还是歌颂人间自有真情在？？狗血剧情。别扯什么大女主，女权了。脑残片来一瓶。
中规中矩，要是两边的时间年段更明显就好了，十元居然开始演妈妈了orz
咩酱和甜圭更有cp感耶怎么回事！冈田塌房，再也不想看到他了。
还行，麻生姐姐演技真的好。大神还是非常帅。就没啥大起伏。
不行还是看到小萝莉就走不动路。十元也依旧美。故事的叙事时间线交错打乱挺有意思20220502 SQ830 | 后半部分哭了半个多小时。What if是此生最后的拥抱与相见？不要放弃啊，保持笑容的话，好运就会来临。20220510 SH
花了80hkd和两个小时体验了努力控制不睡过去的同时思考我tmd究竟在干什么这电影究竟想说什么以及我好像说不出评价因为根本不知道这电影 究 竟 在 说 什 么
三个爸爸，题材和故事都不错的，感觉有不少导演都可以处理得更好。
逻辑还是有的，就是太过理想化。不过看看这样的鸡汤也还好，就当是一种正能量来传播吧！
一开始很不能理解，十元那个角色都不是小女孩的亲生母亲
不知道动机但也一早猜到了凶手，故事没啥看头，纯粹看人，看卡司阵容！
剧情细节还是和前作一样的不真实、悬浮于现实之上。让人无语的地方挺多，比如都猜到真凶了，还非得先跳支舞；警察办案的思维完全被酒店员工带跑偏，全顾客至上去了，最后对着酒店大门鞠躬也是莫名其妙；片头的探戈也有点长；还有一开场通过无理取闹的客人来证明主角的能力（超不现实啊，也就是订了个标间吧，怎么可能那么折腾）。全体警察卧底都带着耳机 对着袖子说话，有没有搞错？还能再明显点吗？
可能是期望太低了意外得还能看。多远家庭的设定挺有意思，但是三主演果然就是三个本色出演。槽点太多了……
日本真的很喜欢“无缘社会”题材啊，一是“无社缘”；二是“无血缘”；三是“无地缘”，一面总是给予满满元气，一面总是融汇淡淡感伤，是非常独特的物哀美学了。之前看是枝裕和的时候总有些缥缈之感，今天看接力棒感觉更戏剧化、极致化、情绪化。比较有意思的是双叙事线的同步编织，看到一半的时候我才反应过来“前世”和“今生”是交叉剪辑的，难怪总有很多相似点。其实比起十元是因病而走，我更乐意看到她是游戏人间的坏女人，一直是热烈的、灿烂的、色彩丰富的，但也正是因为她对养女无私的考虑，才真正升华了无血缘题材的高度吧（ps十元在毕业典礼时盈盈泪光真的演绎的太好了）。
非常奇怪的片子，大半部分更像荒诞喜剧或者悬疑，结果却硬凹温情，每个没有血缘的爸妈都是慷慨正能量的接盘侠，实际却是把小孩像中古货一样来回倒腾居无定所，图啥呢，是不是不发火就把人当傻子呢？
今晚做个小哭包，好好哭一场|-|……就知道故事背后有隐情，没想到那么催泪T^T这剧最大的败笔不在十元的演技、造型（十年一个样子不老是完全可以做到的，比如我，哈哈哈～演技可以知道真相后回看，细节还是很棒的！硬说浮夸的话，那你是日剧日漫看的少），哈哈，括号那么长忘了说啥，嗷嗷，就是败笔在最后的婚礼，为啥非要给女主找个老公，可能演员的缘故，都没有看出有多亲近，亲密感都没有三爸的强烈>_<总之，为我爱的十元多加一星٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و
这情节。。。太童话，世俗久了我无法相信。我只能说这些爸爸都是好人。。。
