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.
就是个农民工被拐骗到黑工厂打工，反抗无能，最后同流合污的故事，对于人性多角度内心选择刻画的还是不错的，论扫黑除恶的重要性！
看之前认为老崔演这种题材会不会大材小用了，其他人配合不好，但是看到一半发现搭配的恰到好处。前半段剧情以为是心灵捕手结果后半段更像是闻香识女人。除了南北问题的点比较突兀之外，整体其实还算可以，最后老崔转变的剧情设计也是比较僵硬，实属遗憾。整体风格还是非常温暖的，值得一看。
比较工整的故事+特别的设定，算有趣；前半段蛮正能量的，下半程又陷入棒子模式化套路，被拉胯...好好算个数学不好吗？e^(ix)=(cos x+isin x)多酷。
孤独扫地僧与孤独废材相互救赎的故事，偏流水线，些许刻意，稍欠真诚，也并不难看，孤独排斥陪伴却又渴望陪伴，缺的仅是同频
巴西警察好爱塑料袋子啊😂电影好残酷啊，马图斯头尾两次坐在车里审视圣保罗，从一开始的开阔大楼到后期高耸的电线，这大牢笼是体制性的腐化，一己之力确实不够
某种程度上的巴西纪实影像 但是各个方面来说都太浅了一点点 但也可能是压抑的氛围反而让人觉得感情的不外露和男主人公一步步成为恶龙显得顺理成章 但不管怎样 仍然是一个心碎的、令人沮丧的故事
三路人马因为一盒蛋糕和一袋钱上演一出闹剧，最后因为假保健品公司把故事推向高潮，这故事有点《疯狂的石头》那味了。ktv里一群人抹蛋糕的荒诞场景、庄宝的吵架戏，优映真的还在进步。里面还有很多细节彩蛋，比如杀不死、相对论乐队、城市的边缘，剧组的演员也很齐，优映粉过年了属于是。
可能在巴西，穷人想改变命运，踢球是最实际的选择。
片名感觉很生猛的一部电影。几个想去大城市赚大钱的年轻人误入黑心工厂，打工不仅没有收入，反而一开始就欠了老板钱，需要还债，还被囚禁。很熟悉的剧情啊。本来大家一条心要逃跑，可是老板分化了他们，让其中一个小伙成为了狗腿子。少年尚未屠龙，便成为了恶龙。虽然他一直在挣扎，但终究还是与老板同流合污。曾经一起的小伙伴与他渐渐势不两立，别人的前途始终没有自己的人生重要。不过观众也没办法憎恨这个小伙，因为如果是自己恐怕也会这么选择。
还行吧，就是感觉剧情有点拖拉就是，一直想让人快进的感觉，后面有被燃到，前面铺垫的时间有点长了，导演如果再精简点，更突然数学上的造诣，会更好 。
人性如此，这也是拉美那种弱肉强食的人吃人黑暗一直持续的原因之一；当男主在老板喝醉后仍把枪放回桌上之后，他在议员家就应该不会再问什么做完工会不会给工人自由这个问题了。
是以前不曾想象过的世界，人性竟展露得淋漓尽致
威逼加利诱，即可令人斗志涣散，马图斯还是太小农思想了。看评论里有网友们认为巴西落后才会如此，他们难道不知道黑砖窑、卖淫组织、传销、拐卖妇女的事仍在上演吗，为什么假装看不到身边事？
一开始的补习班想起九十年代郑智化的 补习街。当然韩国也很早了。我们则是近些年的事。现在没了。剧情没深入的时候，我还以为师徒两人有点类似 阿米尔汗的 来自星星的孩子。
一部残酷的现实主义片，一段从被压迫者转变为压迫者的无情之路。现代化的一切光鲜亮丽真的都是建立在肮脏和血腥之上的
而且，对于投诚过来的数学家你大棒国也没给安排上不是，看到拿奖了就大鱼大肉安排上了，是想表达什么？只能说剧本失败，基本的合理性都没有
金字塔最底层，有选择的话只能救自己，顾不了那么多，少谈点情怀，从粪坑好不容易爬出来只要是机会都应该抓住。
劲道还是蛮大的，拍得写实凌厉，演员选得也很生活化。底层的劳动阶级，也是人吃人的社会，要么努力向上爬命令别人，要么自暴自弃任人欺负宰割，最后变成了另一个自己。
啥呀这是 还等着看 完美出逃呢 咋挣扎半天还沦陷了呢 别那么现实好吗 ！
一开始认为像肖申克的救赎，斯德哥尔摩，不患寡而患不均，之后才发现，讲的是人性。有的囚徒拼命得到做狗的机会分到了两根骨头，误以为自己也姓赵，但只是另一种形态的韭
