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.

为什么这么多人爱装逼还爱看别人装逼？就喜欢这种纯粹的片子，当PTA不装逼时我反而能搞清他的套路了，他的特点就是所有情节的转变都是不合时宜且突兀的，就像他老家的A片一样，不过换个思路就是你根本不需要纠结剧情为什么这么转变，跟着他思路走就行了。这个问题在他别的片子里就显得装逼又做作，因为他总给人一种我要讲牛逼东西的感觉(不知道为什么那么多人喜欢)，而在这个片子里反倒让我没那么反感(又不知道为什么这么多人看不上)，甚至让我很喜欢。人呐，回归本我才是对自己最大的尊重，拍自己故事的人才是最伟大的，就像索伦蒂诺的《上帝之手》，我不懂什么叫“眼界缩小”，看不起自己？
SG变得好有魅力😳身材可以啊，长发挺适合的，没能在小镇滋味继续看到怂男演出，能在这电影看到挺开心的
轻巧而不患寡，小心而不刻意。PTA玩起来也依然令人喜欢，夹杂着浓稠私人情绪的可爱奇怪使观赏的人也翔如坠落水床，有些湿也还想跑。
独角兽真的会有激光？飞马真的很坏？新冠真的这么吓人吗？陪娃看片总会想点大人会想的事
看的很舒服，青春期做作的弟弟追姐姐故事，美国七十年代的风情（摇摆与停滞）在某种程度上更符合当下的困惑与迷茫。导演功力很多时候体现出来就是观影体验上的舒适感和流畅感，仔细一想怎么拍摄和安排的镜头就会发现难度有多高。
尤其在当下这个节点，更为重要。
PTA的小品文
看不下去了，再一看导演——PTA，怪不得。
上岁数了 正式对pta脱敏 （把歇斯底里当幽默来源 把压抑当做存在主义表现的答案 就 真的 够了（幼稚..
好美好可爱！日剧跑跑跑就是浪漫啊，“I love You,Gary”。Alana开车那段酷爆喽～
PTA，一个大家都说好但我get不到的导演，他作品里的爱情生活味太浓了，我根本感受不到爱情。感觉更多的篇幅是在写“青春”吧！
虽然是个很好看的故事，但还是没明白为什么这个故事有存在的必要，导演到底想说什么
I don’t understand, why make this?
Dans une reconstruction minutieuse des années 70, PTA fait croiser sa petite histoire à la grande Histoire pour livrer en douceur une idylle vintage singulière mêlée de légèreté et de fluctuation. D'où le constant mouvement de ce couple, physiquement (accompagné par les travellings latéraux), professionnellement et sentimentalement, qui se cherche et se retrouve, tantôt se rapproche tantôt s'éloigne. C'est sur son perpétuel dynamisme que repose tout le charme de ce récit teinté de couleurs du passé sublimé
8.2 是加州图景的拼贴画，也是pta的《月升王国》，镜头下的1970s一点都不美好，相反那是一个充斥着骚扰，疯子和歧视的年代，但同时pta又热爱着这些成长于那个时代的年轻人们，坚信着懵懂的他们将会改变世界，所以主角总是在奔跑，以完全感性的激情去想象，去恋爱，去打破社会的桎梏，无需任何冗言。Alana真棒啊
俗套的剧情+萌=永远不会出错的优秀儿童动画片
这个阵容。。。竟然是爱情片。还算是轻松搞笑吧，也不太好看。女主这小钢炮性格挺飒。
容貌平平的两位主演真实可信有魅力，可以可以。
人物恍神的状态描绘得真好，Alana奇迹大倒车然后蹲坐在路边看着欢庆的男孩们一段尤其。没有一个角色出场是不“满”的，在短暂的一场中用最饱胀的形象来impress观众。PTA先前对漫威的评价与这部电影里体现出的导演意识一脉相承：银幕观影的愉悦，观看不属于现实的运动感、色彩、力量的纯粹的愉悦，观看爱情故事的男女主跑着跑着就会相遇相遇了还不够还要相撞的愉悦——我们需要这些，电影需要愿意为了这些再次走进影院的观众。
