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.
居然看进去了，很套路，但是《燃烧》女主在这部电影里太漂亮了，部分台词很厉害，男主弱了些。7/10
五星给金钟瑞，性感和可爱结合的最好的演员。韩国的优秀演员真是一批又一批！
甜蜜的告白，浪漫的接吻，即使没有这些，即便我们分手，也希望是一个不那么糟糕的故事。
你相信做着做着就爱了么？
女生也会做春梦。因为无聊才会看杂志。在现实生活中很难达到性高潮，在春梦中比较容易。女主很主动呀，看起来很饥渴的样子。男主有点闷，内向。这个社交APP像是约炮用的。女生听到自己的呻吟声会感到兴奋。其实大家都很孤单。成年人的娱乐喝酒、性爱。为什么总是喝酒呀？一口一个，度数不高吗？
SP就只能是SP 搞不拎清的下场就跟和前男友复合一样烦人 30岁就该喝喝该做做 保持距离 别动真格
感觉故事有点儿太平了。。。最燃的地方不够燃。。。但是很真诚，很能感受到这种坚持改变命运的伟大。

男主女主的演员我都很喜欢 但是这个电影好像有点一般
演员挺好，题材也有点意思，拍得头重脚轻。前面几次见面对话还有点火花，结尾太水了。
适合用来消遣的下午茶甜点，就是那种有时候需要看一下的小片。男女主演都很喜欢！！两人挺搭的其实。不过故事就真俗套啦。他们俩要是最后不在一起我是真的会伤心哈哈哈。可能我还是那么幼稚和保守吧！
恋爱没有缺席的罗曼史 真的可惜了 最后三分之一不仅没有拔高还走了下坡路 韩版friends with benefits 还以为是个yp app的电影广告
是喜欢的全钟瑞，但不是喜欢的孙玖锡
f**k，发现彻底不能添加标签了，自己归类也不行，温水煮青蛙马上要进行到最后一步了是吗。多亏灯光的巧妙运用，氛围感很强，也算是金句频出，虽然结尾的处理不是很喜欢，有点老套误会梗了。“你以为女人呻吟是为了男人吗，不，是为了让自己兴奋。”看全钟瑞演啥都像疯女人（褒义），不过我好喜欢这种天赋型鬼马派的女演员，全钟瑞、金泰梨、文淇，是wannabe没错了。
是俗套的py变情人，但是看得好开心啊，喜欢全钟瑞
轻盈现代的爱情故事，两位主角太好了，赏心悦目
你觉得女人呻吟声音是因为男人吗？女人呻吟是因为自己的呻吟声带动自己懂吗？——29岁的未婚女生在约pao炮软件与男生的性启蒙——喜欢😍这个一喝就挂xiang的小女生。
库尔特·华纳(扎克瑞·莱维 饰)是美国传奇橄榄球明星，他的职业生涯堪称传奇。影片围绕着华纳的励志故事以及多年来遭遇的挫折和挑战展开讲述了， 他是如何从一个杂货店售货员一步步成长为两届NFL MVP、超级碗冠军和名人堂四分卫的。在这个过程中，他的妻子布伦达（安娜·帕奎因 饰 ）以及教练队友都给了他极大的鼓励和和支持。
一些成年人的恋爱。剧本有点弱了吧故事线就一条全靠演员在撑……后半段低走，感觉有点仓促，我喜欢看大家有矛盾先谈清楚，但或许电影拍的也是另一种合理的处理方式吧，感情哪那么非黑即白呢。为两个演员加一星，孙锡久真的扑面而来的荷尔蒙，多看一眼都会腿软的程度，边亲边开门也太特么辣了。全钟瑞真的可塑性很强啊！刚看到电影入围百想了，恭喜。
