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.
这里把山田杏奈拍的好美，不管是对镜子假笑的面庞还是被即若捧起的脸颊，都美爆了。疏离又美艳。（最近山田杏奈势头迅猛啊。
小爱强势病娇独立，可爱！特别！喜欢！

b站看到剪辑就迫不及待的去看了 女主好疯 但我也好爱 女导演拍的🛏戏真的很美 看到两个漂亮女孩抱在一起我就觉得美如画 更何况还有这么多亲亲 剧情什么的已经抛在脑后了 女二是冷颜但在电影又呆呆的反差萌 而且这身材也太棒了 真的对腹部曲线清晰的女孩子没有任何抵抗力̋(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)
这是我见过最累的妈妈，也是最咄咄逼人的妈妈，这女儿是我见过最叛逆最气人的女儿之一。她像是所有人的妈妈，为了每个人而操劳，为了每个人而活，却唯独活得不像自己。张歆艺的刘玫似乎更让人能感受到正能量，演技也好。徐帆说话太做作了。全片每个人都不咋正常，都有人性的缺陷，这么多千奇百怪的奇葩角色，人物间的冲突矛盾却出奇的简单，虽然哭的我鼻涕一把泪一把，但艺术展现我并不认可。
因为今年有《我的姐姐》在先，让我误以为关于女性题材的创作已经转向了，但《关于我妈的一切》把一切又拉回到原点，又树立起了一位为女儿为弟弟为家庭奉献一切的传统母亲形象。
喜欢美雪 女主真的有点讨厌 结局看不懂。。。
看完到张婧仪北漂那条线，内心由衷感叹：别学电视编导，别搞电视综艺😅把无知盲目当理想，最后到了现实却发现不是这样。
不过我喜欢女二这种性格的女朋友。
是如何做到把如此狗血的情节拍出精神分析那味的
今年北影节主竞赛片之一。
就是临死了 都还得救赎所有人 榨干了才能走 是吧 能有多无语就有多无语
小朋友们记住了，要自由生长出绿叶树冠，即使父母没有给你璀璨的童年，但几岁经历的故事，"过来人"不必教化别人。即便是真诚的。
高中时的爱情，就是这样扑朔迷离。年轻人本该如此，但也就如此～
就我隔壁姑娘大概哭了一包纸巾吧（我两张）大家都在说徐帆妈妈，我觉得张歆艺演的刘玫好戳我，传承火锅底料的精神让我立刻马上就想去吃一顿火锅

这个妈妈心理绝对有问题，哭是肯定会哭的，小朋友哭到泣不成声。但是故事还是煽情的套路苦情剧，剧本实在写得糟糕到不行。徐帆老师的表演渐入佳境吧，就是表演痕迹有些重了，尤其是音色转换。
看到最后，突然感觉心被击中了，想起了十年前让我眼里变的有光的女孩。希望以后有一天，我们还能再见见面，笑着聊聊从前。
完全就是最贴合中国国情的韩国电影改编。许亚军饰演的爸爸最后在海边与季老师告别那段，实打实看哭了。电影许多情感点过于真实和戳心，我想再坚硬的人，亲情都应该会是心底最柔软的部分了吧。
