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.
一般般吧，李光洙、姜河那、林允儿，韩志敏、老年组cp，赵俊英 演得不错，元真儿演技太尬了，李栋旭也普普水平。
很喜欢这种温暖轻松 然后突然给你来一下感动的电影 新年快乐!温暖跨年了！
很老套的合家欢电影 不过一年中确实需要有这么一个温情时刻
四個人排列組合都挺好看，灑脫大方的茱莉亞全場最佳。不需要預設一定要找到某個類型的人才合適，說不定找個反差大的用心處下來也會有火花。不同選擇支線的同一場景下鏡頭穿插還挺有趣的，四個主角都有可愛之處不討人厭，所以換種組合排列也不錯，唯一的敗筆是出軌支線，讓兩個女角一個歇斯底里一個寬宏大量……怎麼看都很別扭。
因为是2021.12.31看到2022.1.1
感觉完全没有注重打磨剧本的精巧，全用心在请演员和保险上了。老年的线很突兀，韩姐造型很好看表情依旧灵动，但故事还是不好，不太喜欢男生在结婚的时候还在想怎么放下和女主的情感这个情节。李栋旭元真儿这个最差了，CP感接近于无而且也非常老套，夹带私货想象了如果请的是刘仁娜估计会有很好的化学反应，但是元真儿最近是真的不灵啊。林允儿姜河那的故事应该是最好的，有惊喜。不过这电影选的最好的还是让韩姐做女主，一颦一笑都让我可以忽略故事的粗糙，韩姐终于休假结束劳模上身了，我们的蓝调麻烦给姐个好故事！
冲这阵容再给一星，都是我喜欢的演员，老李时隔多年又当上了hotel king，好一个霸道总裁爱上我。小姜又演憨憨，头卡窗子那段好笑，我都没看出来光洙演经纪人，瞅了半天才反应过来，志旼欧尼好漂酿，剧情不算新颖，一家酒店里不同的人身上发生的关于跨年的感情小故事，当个跨年电影看还行。
姜河那又是这种傻憨憨角色！！！ 承包了我的笑点(还有光洙 为什么他哭我想笑哈哈哈哈)
剧情很碎，当个贺岁片要求不高的话看看还行吧。鹅姐的声音演技不错，很适合这个角色，听着十分愉悦。韩志珉太漂亮了。
20分钟，看不下去了。合家欢电影的整体节奏一定是要把控很精准的，必然不能像剧情片或文艺片一样的循序渐进，而本片显然没有做好。尤其那段乐队成员再次见面的围着桌子转，镜头语言到底想说什么？郭在容的野蛮女友真的只能算是惊鸿一现了。
当年的life因为和曹叔有大量对手戏的二人我弃剧了，没想到这部电影还是没什么进步。努力了，但看不下去，告辞抱拳。
电影剪辑的稀巴烂， 无法让人沉浸感情。最让人记忆深刻的还是李光洙，演技真赞！
2021年最后一部电影 在我这里它是温暖我的 它是甜的
我是基娅拉和达利欧的cp粉！哈哈哈哈他们两个的火花真的有意思！
很久前我就意识到所谓“唯一的灵魂伴侣”是个伪命题，身边的伴侣往往是天时地利人和的结果，换个条件状态心境，可能关系就会天差地别，甚至不会成为身边人。我们以独立个体状态进入关系，而关系又会在不知不觉中塑造我们，重点不是“唯一”，而是专注和“眼前有缘的那一个”的发展。但电影有趣（和有更多可能性）的地方，是让人看到和不同对象与不同状况下合情合理的发展，恰到好处的切换也让观赏更有趣味。很可爱的意大利小片~
讲述了四个单身朋友以不同的组合成为情侣的故事，对“灵魂伴侣”度概念提出了挑战
看完了，的确是拼盘，因为人数众多，所以每个人出现的时间都很少，感觉都像客串演出，戏份比较多的是李栋旭，元真儿，韩志旼，我也万万想不到这部剧元真儿居然戏份这么多。
导演原来是郭在容，又听到了《卡农》。李东旭到底演过多少酒店管理人哈哈，韩智敏真好看。
很有想法的一个电影
若作为一部单纯的圣诞新年贺岁片 还是比较成功的 但整体看每个人物的逸事拼凑起来显得有一点生硬
