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.
画风好，重打斗场面，剧情弱，剧情推动太生硬
很舒适的片子，妈咪很温柔文静，妥妥的贤妻良母，最后的台词确实“下辈子相当一个男生”。父母子女的关系，爱，情感，争吵又和解，真的太令人沉浸了。妈咪在家长会维护女儿真的酷爆了。最好的戏是抚摸水花那里和结尾掏耳朵，或许是因为有了陈绮贞老师这片子更令人舒服了
绿衣服的小徐超帅。
还是有点“小家子气”了，和剧版一样，只在乎作者个人意志的表达，电影不是文学。三星半
（三星半）前半段有点脱力以为这是给华裔看的电影，后半段疫情出现才回到正轨。疫情时代让很多人被迫重新审视家庭关系，在摘掉牙箍之前，它会划烂你的牙膛，割破你的舌头，可再痛的伤口也会愈合，生活如初植物生芽，四把挂在门上的雨伞，风吹动风铃，叮叮当当那是回家的声音。
这剪辑晃得头晕😵💫，其实运动镜头里的特写没必要这么频繁切多角度来展示动感
6.5/10。居然不是动画番剧合集！认真讲了一个复仇故事，仍旧延续着冤枉-组队-大战的模式，但情节没有番剧吸引人。动作设计太强了，行云流水快意恩仇。三渲二的画风容易劝退一部分观众，我还能接受。最后屠龙勇士看着兵器上的血，听着一声声投诚的呼叫，他露出了惊恐的神情，这是反战的。
没想到能在一部国产动画看到这么原汁原味的江湖，虽然剧情方面颇为薄弱，但是犀利畅快的打斗让人热血沸腾，特别是击杀敌人瞬间转换的水墨风和绽放的鲜血真是加分，叶清张艺赵恩宇黎泓何的配音真是梦回90年代的TVB武侠世界，妥妥的回忆。
“授权还差半分功力。”
画面不错，剧本不行，反派BOSS是学好莱坞亦正亦邪说不清楚动机是好是坏的那种模式嘛，关键是立不住脚，清理各种门派是为了太平盛世，可是也没当皇帝的心啊，帮官府办事干活扫除门派，可要清光了你不就变成唯一且最大的门派嘛。然后开头说那么厉害的漕帮，覆灭的削微也太快了，而且除了帮主和儿子家里全是大众脸，不大行啊

虽然我也迟到了近两个月
我想，人活在世上，就是一种修行吧，每个人都有自己的劫，自渡吧。
看完《美國女孩》了，相比《瀑布》还是更喜欢这一部。鍾孟宏的《瀑布》太风格化，镜头的角度太犀利，不是说这样不好，但两部同样都是在疫情之下（时空不同）讲述亲情故事的电影显然用太独特的作者视听去叙事，其带给观众的情感冲击没有《美國女孩》这样慢条斯理、稳扎稳打的叙事影响大。而且本片不仅描述了亲情，它还会带上地域文化的对比、女孩成长过程中的烦恼以及母女关系的破裂到和解，让我感同身受。但第三幕中双方情绪的转变还是太突然太快了，我认为不能算是佳作，今年的金馬獎其实都蛮失望的。
无论动作配音还是剧情都深得传统武侠之精髓。
稀饭小机灵鬼江渊。
后半段有点不在点上……但考虑到自传和处女作，拍成这样很难得了，舒服且无郁结（更多在林嘉欣的角色上有无力感造成故事线原地打转）。最大惊喜方郁婷，What a talented actress！另外庄凯勋值得一个男配提名……
可能是因为同样经历过“恨妈妈”的时期（其实那段时间是什么都恨），所以看这个片子的时候特别难过，尤其是她们争吵的话语，让我忍不住想到曾经也恶语相向的我们，还有被我伤害过的妈妈的心。
讲好故事的同时还留下了什么是太平盛世的思考，国漫现在真的是越来越好了！
好喜欢扮演安仪的这个小演员，在台词说之前眼神的戏都给到了。大概是期望太高，总觉得还差那么一点。
