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.
浪费我人生中的两个小时，短发姐姐你图啥啊……拍的真矫情
意料之中的六分电影，整体给人的感觉像是微电影片段的细碎拼接。冲着学校操场雨中两个女生的热吻去看的，看完才发现全片只有那个长镜头能让我触动。剧情很常规，无外乎校园恋爱没有结果最后还给人当伴娘，放眼全中国大部分女同的故事应该都是这个路径。哎，东亚同性恋到底什么时候能不用在电影里当冤种啊？审美疲劳了谢谢。大概要等到不用在现实生活里当冤种那一天。等吧、熬吧，日子还长着呢我猜。
被最后礼堂的片段吸引去看了全片 高中毕业后的剧情逻辑稀碎 整个黑人问号 一星给两位演员 另外一星给主题曲
校园情节还有些意思，高光的篮球场雨中激吻后的情节让人迷惑。一个是深陷回忆的舔狗，一个是努力生活的渣女，但都有了最好的朋友。愿东亚nt片少一些be吧（Le片自动上浮一星）
- 插曲太老土
技术不错，电影节奏好。但角色行为逻辑不够自洽哎，让人迷惑，强行BE。
“个女咪遗传晒你咯”
整部电影几乎都看不进去，亲吻交谈和床戏都感觉情绪不够，让人觉得有点别扭，不知道是剧情问题还是演技问题，此处对比的是《蝴蝶》。拉快进的方式直接来到婚礼，从靠近说“你的内衣又扣错了”开始感到震动，从这里到全片结束的五六分钟里，层层堆叠上去，眼泪在回忆画面两人坐在地板上看电视，女生睡着了，另一个靠近很温柔的说“我爱你”，此刻情绪被带到峰值。难究其因，但爱情它来过，存在过。
下刀子的片段果断划过，年岁渐长只要甜的部分疗愈自己。
也许
港版的花香，剧情&女主外貌都和花香类似2022了也没有啥进步，双女主颜值在线，画面唯美，没了。看完后内心毫无波澜。
能看得出来演员和导演都挺青涩的，但不妨碍我还是被婚礼情节感动得一塌糊涂💔
也许
总体而言，已经是拍得很好的姬片了！两个女演员真好看 呜呜呜呜呜看得我好难过 因为太真实了。有些人可能会觉得既然相爱为什么不在一起，长大之后明明没有小时候的障碍了，可是经历过的事是不可磨灭的，小时候的创伤是难以愈合的，不是对方给的创伤，而是大环境给的。我太能理解了。打分低除了以上缺点，还有可能是有些人有洁癖吧 毕竟双方都出现了一个男的 但从文学角度 我并不介意啦 总之就是蛮好的一个故事 看得人好难过😢
剧本拉垮，但是东亚冤种拉拉爱情故事真的好好看😅
除了不喜欢结局，不想接受她跟别人结婚之外，其他都很好。唉，还是在等，还是在遗憾，但仍觉美好。
先爱上的先离开555 在雨中在浴室 能呼应起来了 挺美的吻戏 确实好几次想哭 又很生气 看到短发姐喝醉和男生发生关系 真的气死了 又伤害了无辜男生 又…心疼我的短发姐55最后戴戒指 短发姐还提醒她说我愿意 靠北啊 一个人在楼顶跳舞55意难平 这种结婚真的很难不离的吧 舍弃了自己最爱的人 所以大家一定要和最爱的人结婚好吗 又气又想哭 从那一句我们一定要上同一所大学开始情绪起伏 为什么啊长发妹 看看短发姐啊 明明互相爱又不在一起 说高中那段是爱情吗 靠北啊 怎么还能说是正常朋友 气shi了虐死了
二位都很显老，影响观感。也许只有在电影里，这样的两人见面才不会尴尬吧。除了旁白，完全感受不到时代的变迁。
狗血但还蛮真实的 两位演员表现都很棒 摄影画面也蛮好看的
一颗给两位女主 一颗给最后的be她们依旧穿上了想象中婚纱 戴上了想象中的戒指 一颗给自己
