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.
角色场景都如此之少，却一点也不乏味。无尿点看完全片，跃跃欲试哈，国内哪里找😏
主要就一个景，剧本其实还是遵循了经典规律，所以在剧本和表演扎实的基础上，主要还是男主太性感，真是无敌的选角
剧本太加分了，四次见面，认识自己，面对自己，欣赏自己。
勉强3分多一分都不行，所有分数都给大胆追求性爱和快感的立意，并且，这样的男孩有谁不想点！

非常有趣的选题，像一个都市童话。我们亚洲人日常以为欧美人自由开放，实际上世界女性大同，大家都有自己的年代痕迹和被女性身份束缚的门槛，并不能像男性那样随心所欲。南希那种渴望打破常规又局促不安的心理表现得太好了。里奥很有魅力，令人舒适，但是对比现实生活就显得有点乌托邦。取悦自己、与自己和解是女性毕生的课题。
很舒服的性教育片，并不太露骨，印象深刻结尾女主对着性感的男主身体gc，这样的男主在现实里少之又少吧，三次见面密集的对话很像是一场心理咨询，尤其是Leo很懂女性，非常给人安全感。
一次双向心理救赎之旅，放下枷锁勇敢“出柜”，解锁真正的pleasure。ps：男主身材也太好了，期待真下海那天（不是
一把年纪是不是差点白活了
想让所有女生都看看的片子
勉强3分多一分都不行，所有分数都给大胆追求性爱和快感的立意，并且，这样的男孩有谁不想点！
男主像亦舒小说的男主角从书页里走出来一样：浓眉长睫，皮肤光洁，五官亮丽，笑容带金光，有男子气概又不乏书卷气，会跳舞会开香槟，三个A+。但Emma是赋予这一切意义的人，当她被问道“为何你那么害怕失望”，我几乎与她同步说出“因为此前的人生总是让人失望”；当她赤裸着身体站在镜子前，我为那股强迫所有人的目光正视这一切的力量鼓掌。
2、每一个人都生而美丽。爱自己，就是爱一切的开始。
Emma Thompson太通透了，完全释放自我的一次表演，光芒万丈！女性导演才能拍出的细腻和女性心理。
单一地点+老戏骨的组合很难不让人想到《困在时间里的父亲》，后者在影片技法上还是要更有层次一些，而这部电影的强势就在于每个段落高潮前的那一点铺垫，都恰到好处。
而这一切，无不指向一种惯性，一种对欲望羞于言说的惯性，一种活在道德评判中的惯性，一种一潭死水式的中产庸常生活的惯性，一种性别宰制关系的集体无意识的惯性。
四星
一个人帅气有礼貌，会交流，耐心温柔，邀请你交配有什么可以拒绝的呢？看看那些约炮男有什么资本让人睡得下去？
看到最后哭了，如果可以，我想打六🌟。最后双方都得到了救赎，印象深刻的一句话，you are not buying for fact, you are buying for fantasy,另外，男主真的是温柔的一个人啊
Good luck to you, you and you.
