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.
跟侯麦的风格好像哦）很爱法国电影，我每次看完一部不错的片子都好像对生活重燃热情、焕发活力，开始飞快地起身做事做手头上的工作什么的。敢于质疑、敢于争取、敢于爱那些不可能的人，叫人远观而羡之
只有两部电影让我念念不忘
美丽的电影，美丽的手持影像。引诱者说，被引诱者征服了她，而她已经56岁了...她是否又知道，自己是电影院内散开的领口，是亲密身体上的沙砾，是粼粼波光里的笑声，是分手时错愕的眼泪，是急匆匆的心情...所以，“我不同意”，不是要说给什么听，而是此刻一定要说出来...
大胆与羞涩的结合 女主总是跑跑跑 好喜欢沙滩做爱吸 黏糊糊的情欲 。
“不。我想应该不会。”
真挚、热烈、自由、勇敢。是不是大多数婚外情都发生在夏天？
极其看好的法兰西新神，平面照片就是这么一言难尽、不漂亮、不性感、平庸、傻呆呆、衣品令人沮丧……一到银幕∞魅力……这tm悖论🥲
阿娜伊斯追求自己的爱情时勇敢，大胆，热情，像花朵一样明亮，鲜艳。她说话语速很快，会自嘲，也能决绝地离开，坚定地放下，她选择自己的生活。姬片终于不再是冰冷的色调，或者是北风呼啸的冬天，而是南法湛蓝的天空，明媚的太阳，轻快的奔跑。太美了。
铺垫有点长，女二出场后才开始好看起来。好羡慕她们是那样的自由、随性、浪漫，好喜欢这个结局，回味无穷。
小伙子、老头子、老大妈。。。阅历挺丰富，呵呵
难得看了一部不那么冰冷的含有女同内容的片，女主活力满满，充满夏天阳光的气息，年轻真好有各种选择的机会。
“恢复感情的复杂性”导演做到了，爱情终究是虚幻的面具
Valeria Bruni真美。最后分手时的那段话好动人。
旺盛的生命力，无时无刻不在奔跑盛放，年轻的女孩子无惧无畏，横冲直撞，没有目标没有方向又如何！
太像我前室友了！在欧洲国家长大，漂亮自信，每天风风火火，不拘小节，不严肃的情感生活，每天背个旧背包，似乎没吃过、用过高端的东西，但不妨碍她经常成为别人生活中的一股清流
结局对比《圣母》，竟然有点洪常秀的意思了xs
另外不接受套娃《首演之夜》
哇没有想到是后面这样的发展！女主的裙子都好好看！
确实还是法国人最会把情欲与诗意结合在一起。
我不同意
