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.
除去情怀，你们和隔壁熊出没已经不是一个档次啦！
这么多nba的梗，小朋友哪里看得懂啊。最后回表真的没必要，就给0.5秒绝杀好了
就可以往青年的受众群体发展了，孩子们都长大了。
我宣布喜羊羊是今年春节档天花板😋 「对了喜羊羊，我们认识多久了啊？」 「五千多集了吧。」 我超这不比绝杀慕尼黑燃😭 赛场上我们遭际到未知性，用积极的姿态去承受它，直到生产出我们独异的节奏，这就是竞技游戏教会我们的。聚光灯不会在分出胜负后才投下来，它伴随着每个游戏者的运动。
我喜欢喜羊羊与灰太狼，我给它5颗星。也是弥补了大电影的遗憾吧
冲着情怀我也决定贡献张电影票，不得不吐槽一句排片，小县城想买它张票可真难，反观隔壁熊出口，唉……喜羊羊的时代到底啥时候过去的啊？
在春节档几乎没有排片的情况下，抽空去为我童年的回忆贡献了一张电影票。就像虎扑的jrs说的，《喜灰》并不是拍给的小朋友们看，而是给属于我们那一代的00后看的。喜羊羊跟我们一样慢慢的长大，慢慢的从狼吃羊的故事，转变为了热血的篮球梦。
陪老弟看的。好多灌篮高手的梗，甚至每个角色都能找到原型，灰太狼-樱木花道 懒洋洋-三井寿 烈羊羊-安西教练
剧情一般 篮球不错（反正爱打篮球的对象看的很燃）
还是做点专注小朋友看的动画片吧。大人、小孩儿都想圈住，最后内容出来，就有点不伦不类。
篮球动画比真人比赛的优势太明显了。
节奏很快很满，但可能子供向刚刚好。五千多集，总觉得没那么久。
比较尴尬的是明明是拍给小孩子的，可是艾弗森、麦迪的转身、樱木花道等等篮球元素又是拍给我们这群老男人的。胡慕晗看完说她都快看哭了，那我觉得这个还是很好看的。
剧本、剪辑和台词都是稀碎啊，讲不出故事就靠MV来凑，情节上出现漏洞就用爱来发电弥补。剪辑很凌乱，台词太说教。。。
我们认识多久了？
热血篮球。故事俗套，演出还行。长大的小朋友。
还是适合小朋友看，能学点体育篮球知识。受挫—努力-继续受挫-获胜大概如此，比较模式化的剧本
50年前动画中的一集能重制成剧场版已经很感动，特别是作为UC党看来，剧情和战斗场面直观上是6:4,也都是小队规模战斗，只看战斗的话可能不如独角兽里袭击澳洲基地那样壮观，扎古的新机设很棒准备入模型，今后也请继续。期待后续围绕マ・クベ再出部剧场版，特别喜欢这名智将，吉翁的高级将领比臭联邦的性格鲜明，能坐镇指挥又能驾驶MS上前线，相比联邦除了最初送了一支舰队人头的ティアンム中将和レビル中将2人上过最前线外(结局就是2人都战死，其他都是缩头乌龟(都活得好好的 辣鸡！所以剧中的口号也相对的是：腐れた連邦め！ジークジオン！
真的喜欢
哈哈，看个热闹还行。因为是给小孩看的，所以剧情比较简单。 但至少是个完整的剧情，看着至少条理清楚，因此看热闹不错
