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.
还好吧，故事背景我很喜欢，主角的颜我也比较喜欢。但是故事本身没有拍得很touching，而且各种追踪枪战戏拍得有点儿戏。三星半吧
关于感情
邦尼是雌雄大盗的邦尼吗？
如果你是不喜歡黑暗抑鬱題材的人，這部電影可能就不適合你看了，因為影片的氛圍和劇情讓人看完內心衝擊會有點深，感覺心情都變得低沉了。
很喜欢！看起来太舒服了，不突兀不刻意缓慢发生。虽然没有把历史事件拍的很清楚很到位甚至有点仓促，但是你就怎么确定这不是通过历史事件而表达爱情的故事呢！很喜欢男主的妈妈，她那句你没有欺骗自己要加半颗星，在那个时代没有谁是希望自己的孩子是那样的，但个人觉得她的态度让男主罪恶感减少了有可以继续走下去的决心。再一次很喜欢！
好久没看过这样灵肉合一的床戏了😭卷毛小狗满分！
什么啊，视听语言出了大问题，除了摄影还能看（不包括调度）别的一塌糊涂，看了个寂寞，
如果你爱的人欺骗了你，或是越过了了你的底线，你还会爱他吗
逻辑有点混乱，很多情节发生的有些莫名，感情内核的驱动还算有力，破案环节几乎是在瞎闹，单纯是磕到了掰弯直男的凄美爱情。
绝望的气氛贯穿始终，一切情爱看上去都如此虚假……目前个人的年度最佳LGBT。
相比之下，这部出色于浴火鸟。悬疑的氛围感一直紧张的推动着剧情，调动观影者的好奇心，一方面很想知道真相，一方面很在意男主和大学生的发展。正如学生所说，自由是最可贵的东西，无论当时的环境还是当代。虽然两人的互动不多但是都很觉，因为一个人魂牵梦绕的心境在男主身上体现的淋漓尽致，结局肯定是be，但没有很刻意，环境背景从开始就奠定了悲凉的基调，但男主认清自己确定心意并开放式结局来看不算be的很彻底，留下了很狭小的想象空间。很喜欢男主很有男子气概气质又很温柔，角色刻画很完美。
虽然探案的部分写得一般，但类型片框架下的同性故事还是蛮少见的。两男主都很得劲，男主有一种闷骚的性感，而艾瑞克每次出现都像是黑暗中一闪而逝的流星。
想起了《雷德尔上校》，在严密监控的体制内跨越雷池半步，各种fetish。
对手戏挺有张力诶，荷尔蒙颤动了，小卷发太好吃了，男主好像桑总
波兰导演一贯的冷和稳，几乎全片的夜色和阴天把压抑和冷峻烘托极致。这个国家永远不会改变，对人性的压抑对人情的泯灭对少数群体的封锁，铁幕后期的波兰其实什么也没变。
holy shit！一部关于男同自我认同的电影，有必要这么多跟女主的床戏吗，可惜了ada还漏点了，气死！当裸露床戏对剧情走向并没有帮助只是噱头的时候，还能指望电影多有深意呢！
文艺，细腻，写实，有种2010年前后的滤镜感，譬如无尽的天空与人高的草原，阴雨天，干燥的雷声，回响的枪声，悠扬的bgm。共同暗示了这位传奇人物落寞的收场
看完之后真的觉得很压抑和无力，那些压迫和监视真的让人透不过气，唉…而每个时代的少数者也都要扛起那个时代的重压吧…人世艰难，又有多少苦难是我们互相加与彼此的呢…共同在世为人，为何要这样咄咄相逼呢…换个角度，故事之外男主的演绎也还不错，而且颜也莫名的上头，希望以后能看到他更多的作品。
异性恋压迫同性恋，有权力的同性恋压迫没权力的同性恋。悬疑部分还是有点好看的。
看简介的时候就想起另一部爱上验尸官。全片压抑氛围表现突出。
