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.
蛮无聊的一部西部黑人牛仔片，一部网飞快餐片。
高中生（高中毕业生）搞分手巡游总显得有些非主流……
烂俗爱情片配不上塔莉亚莱德的颜值，小姐姐还是多去接独立电影吧
这怎么找到这么多长的一模一样的黑人的？
好像说了, 但又好像什么都没说的故事, 男女主倒是金童玉女很是相配, Talia Ryder未来可期。这部作品如果是连续剧的话恐怕会很精彩。
1.女主代表美利坚的年轻人为在爱情里拖拖拉拉、犹豫不决的家伙们做了一个完美的榜样与表率。2.作为现代人，对待爱情与生活态度就是应该「洒脱不矫情」。3.自以为是、自作主张、自说自话、自我感动，死要面子又满嘴谎言，这是男人们的通病。4.不顾对方的感受去做一些莫名其妙的所谓「浪漫行为」（包括但不限于在分手的前一天带你走遍每一个「第一次」：第一次吵架的冰球场，第一次表白的淡水湖，第一个情人节的披萨屋等等），这就是典型的「自己感动自己」。5.结局有减分（分了就分了，强行安排的「再次见面」真没必要）。6.舔狗舔狗，一无所有。7.这女主的侧颜，也太像艾玛沃特森了。
2.5 铁打的流水线式奈飞片，看这片冲谁来不用多说哈~
一部不推荐看的电影，太装13了，情节扯淡的厉害，故意拖沓，浪费时间。
看到才一小时片长就知道人物和剧情都不可能立体/完善 但是小情侣的回忆/final date都太有感觉了 以及Aidan这么用心的男孩是真实存在的吗
该从何说起呢，看到这部电影就像是看到了自己曾经的感情一样……只不过结局恰恰相反
就差把敷衍敷衍写脑门了（毒液这牙龈萎缩有够严重的
服装造型真的是太复古了
5分，一开场就完全不信服，虽然说有几场戏很爽，但不够连贯。

why？！为什么可以这么拉垮？好莱坞 as a whole 是欠了毕志飞裸贷吗？！
女主分手就分手，果决一点，既然知道自己真正想要什么。男主安排的第一次合集其实是对女主的内心凌迟啊，女主已经做出了令自己难受的决定了。男主的自我感动让两个人都难受了。不可否认的是他们是相爱的，永远无法改变的，不可否认的。这已经足够了。
很酷的黑人牛仔片，可惜没看完睡着了….之后重新看看吧
是否江郎才尽？美国大片一个个都是相似的样子，无聊
吃饭看的，都嫌耽误时间。。。建议看看片尾彩蛋就可以了
这电影里的牛仔小镇为啥房子这么崭新？为啥黑人小哥都这么普确信？大概乱世中活着都要靠股自命不凡的精神气儿吊着吧。
