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.
我很喜欢这个故事，快到结尾时的走向让我误以为妻子原谅了出轨男，大骂败笔，可是结尾又一反转，大喊漂亮。漫画、现实、电影三个维度向前推进，亦真亦幻，也很有神秘感和吸引力。黑木华看似温柔、其实非常坚定和有原则，像出轨男这种生物，永远不值得被原谅！总之，这个电影完美诠释了如何不动声色地用漫画将男人玩弄于股掌之间🙃酷死了。而我还是一如既往的，喜欢黑木华的长相
出轨不伦总要发生在盛夏。漫画与现实的交错、对话与场景的反复演绎，理智告别渣男老公同时也是欣喜迎接漫画老师，日本影视关于不伦的八百万种写法。
怎么感觉柄本佑就适合那种漂浮着的角色，这里太接地气了反而让我难以带入
神片，虚虚实实真真假假，难以判断最后到底是不是真的跟着教练离家出走了还是单纯为了迷惑观众。
漫画与现实的对照、反转颇为有趣。妻子的复仇，最终杀死了和解的男性倔强。
现实的想象，和想象中的现实，剧情无数次反转，而且合情合理，难得不无病呻吟的文艺片。男主演技太好了。黑木华不太自然，总是莫测高深的样子，有点装。
从头到尾没人把丈夫当回事哈哈哈哈，结尾反转不错。最后 请问上哪找帅哥驾校教练
真真假假，虚虚实实，佐和子就这样于不动声色举重若轻之间完成了自己的复仇，看到最后还蛮有大快人心之感呢。
虚构故事促成现实想象，别出心裁的复仇爽剧，还不错~
三蛛同框不仅仅是蜘蛛侠影迷贯穿二十年成长的Celebration！三只关于过往伤痛的对话更像是不同成长阶段的自己与自己的对话，这和自我关怀疗愈中的空椅子疗法异曲同工。中年的托比告诉青年的加菲，嘿我和MJ过得不错，蜘蛛侠和彼得帕克的身份可以做到平衡，你也可以！托比和加菲对更年轻的荷兰弟说，嘿，我经历你经历的，我感受你感受过的，我们都曾认为那是My Fault，但我不想你再承受我曾承受的痛苦[泪]所以最后的拥抱才会如此治愈！那是对自我的和解与关怀
这真是我看过最蠢最难看的蜘蛛侠了，完全浪费了前两代的情怀（加菲部分气得本超凡粉要死）。荷兰弟的小蜘蛛第一部蹭钢铁侠第二部蹭复联第三部蹭三代合体，是有什么巨婴蜘蛛病永远不会独立行走？漫威已经成为又蠢又烂代名词，侮辱观众智商很有趣？
经过三部电影的铺垫，蜘蛛侠终于走出了舒适圈，开始独立自主、独当一面。
wusuo~ 您就是传说中的究极折磨王吗？
好看！首先卡司都是我喜欢的！剧情也挺让人眼前一新的！
非常精彩，对这个类型来说也是一场华丽的补充！
本片唯一符合逻辑的话，蜘蛛侠：梅姨死的毫无意义
沒想到柄本佑的角色那麼可憐。
绝了 从现实到漫画，从漫画到现实，若虚若实，人生如戏啊！
论妻子的复仇，婚姻的复杂性，还是gone girl呀
前半部鋪陳略顯冗長稍悶，中段漫畫與現實交錯後漸入佳境，下半部直到收尾就如女主最後的勝利笑容般燦爛。一貫日影的‘結尾反轉’套路，從節奏到角色到劇情都非常典型的日影風格，不過不失中帶有小驚喜。
