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.
这剧情是完完全全抄袭迪迦奥特曼， 还有这演的有点神经病吧， 本来是好好的一部剧，就这样毁了，实在没有办法，只能给一颗星⭐
最后，我已经把新生代剧场版都看完了，什么时候把泽宝的剧场版吐出来，搞快点！
就是打戏有点那啥，但反正比TV强就是了。
原来现在人类的基地都跟变形金刚似的，奥特曼都像弗利萨，多重变身
比TV版好太多了！这部剧场版的质量应该算奥特曼里上乘的了吧
并没有看过原著，还是鼓起勇气来把这部两个半小时的片子看完了。完全不闷，比想象的好看。讲的是一个年轻的外省诗人随贵妇情人进入巴黎、被丢下于是转行做小报记者、借助各路朋友敌人摸爬滚打逐渐声名鹊起、企图重新获得贵族头衔最终彻底幻灭的经历。复辟时期的巴黎这个宏大的历史画卷表现得非常迷人：剧院、报纸、出版人、富商、贵族、王室之间的各种勾当，寥寥几个场景就展现地一清二楚。对话非常辛辣（应该是巴尔扎克的功劳）让人印象深刻。此外导演应该是有意加了一些指射当下的元素吸引观众。
TV能有这个水准也不至于玷污迪迦的名声…
中村优一，有点可惜。圆谷是不是终于找东映那边的来演反派了
3. 永恒的安眠也是要钱的。
还行，比TV好点。
及格，有好活儿有烂活儿，TV的恶劣表现会延续并影响后续相关作品是必然的，但好在因为篇幅和主创人员的调整，这部联动剧场版起码比tv观感要好一些
拍的很商业很华丽，看得出投资蛮高。可是问题是旁白也太多了，甚至把交代人物内心活动的任务也交给旁白了，真的是有点懒。前半段Lucien成名前节奏还不错，可是到了后面Lucien开始命运起伏了之后就开始赶进度。而且各位演员的表演也有点不平均，Lucien的演员表现还是比其他人稚嫩了不少。明明是可以拍成Barry Lydon那种史诗气质的片，可惜了。
很好看！展现了巴黎报业的迷幻时刻，风格很迷幻，演员很迷人，或可用近来的热词形容：巴洛克，又美又悲酸。
75分钟完爆TV，奥棚01的位置你是坐稳了。
再加上昨天看完OOO的十周年剧场版后，我对“情怀”真的是要有ptsd了
姐夫这演技用力过猛…不过总的来说致敬中有所创新 比TV版要好十个泰迦了
一部剧场版爆了一整部TV，特利迦我只承认剧场版，无论剧情台词配乐我都很喜欢。特利迦是剧场版奥和纯粹迪迦小弟奥，不要拿《特利迦》来黑特利迦。如果出一个迪迦和特利迦的剧场版，老胜利队队员回归，两个次元的胜利队并肩战斗大古变身，我吹爆吹爆吹爆！！！！
把这个看作是特利迦大结局会好一些，邪特还是有那么帅！
剧情还可以，空战和摔角很棒。反派、队长、铁心队员全体演技浮夸，马景涛式大吼有些接受不能……
剧场版泽塔和遥辉回归黑化表现精彩，黑特和光特，泽塔，打戏和文戏非常完美。
