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.
没想到看个动画片也要带纸巾，剧情非常工整，每个情节都不出意料，但线索铺得高级且克制，画面堪称光线大师。最珍贵的是，我们很久没看到一个真实的中国城市出现在屏幕上了，荔枝湾、芳村地铁站、红木棉市花都是真的，舞狮文化、留守儿童、工伤、一闪而过的富士康厂服也是真的，有这片子是广州之幸。
可贵的现实主义题材。让人哭，让人燃，又让人翻江倒海。
阿娟父母归来，他梦想“下山”，黯然离体验繁华都市的灰暗底色，独自忍受人间冷暖生活重担，狮头埋于杂物。他随清晨人群的醒来，敲醒心灵翩然起舞豁然开朗；比赛惊艳出场，气势十足斗狮，最后一跃不可逾越的擎天高山——那莫欺少年穷的奋勇与激越！
粤语版极佳。狮头虽然挂在擎天柱上，但现实却还是让你跌入水中。哎，底色还是小人物的困苦，无奈和悲哀。
虽然故事内核还是套路化的成长励志主题，但从写实的画风、用心的动画设计、温情的岭南现实主义场景到留守少年的故事设定、作为非遗的舞狮文化意蕴的详细展现，再到跟剧情丝丝入扣的精彩配乐，都实在堪称国产动画电影的新标杆。尤其是包括五条人、九连真人代表作和脍炙人口的港片《射雕英雄传》主题曲的电影配乐，实在够燃、够炫、够煽情，也具备十足的地方性。本片的电影原声大碟，值得反复聆听。
前半段太多强行热血的“金句”做不到的效果，却让后半段的行云流水和伟大失败做到了。不管之前多失败，之后又如何继续底层，但那一刻的燃烧谁能说依然毫无变化呢。

制作组亮出乐夏粉籍！五条人打底的广东地方味，中程有椅子城市哀愁之歌，终九连将感情送至巅峰——绝妙！
这一众好评真尴尬，丑化国人舔外国的味遮都遮不住
好片 因为偏见 甚至根本没有看过这部片打低分的人真的是 无视本质看现象啊
虽然他掉进了水里，但他还是在擎天柱上留下了一些东西。
感觉比近十年来很多高分高票房的国产动画都要好出一大截，前一小时有点不稳定，常规的插科打诨（有些笑料很烂俗很low）以及情绪铺垫处理得时好时坏，中段转折后，无论是掷地有声的故事本身还是节奏、情绪都变得顺畅许多。以往国产动画最常见的动画技术强但是导演能力差的问题也得到了解决，分镜和镜头运动都无可挑剔，最后高潮段落的掌控力也特别稳，没有常见的煽过头。PS：有一两段配乐过于耳熟不知是否存在参考还是纯属巧合
近五年最精彩的国产动画，只能用大胆形容。属于当代中国的故事，制作技术精良，很多镜头layout设计极为讲究，环境刻画无比真实。虽然个别台词有优化的空间，但感动却是无比真实的，音乐更是让全片拔高一层。硬说的话前半个别转场可以做得再好一点。个别角色配音水平也有提高空间，没有全用广普配音是一个遗憾。
很标准的印度剧情佳片 如果歌舞能再控制一点就好了 这个故事2个小时应该是能讲清楚的
但是剧组的发言和态度让我极度反感，做错了就要认，而不是用不知哪儿来的优越感来颠倒是非，艺术没有国界，但是艺术家有。
终于看到一部高质量的非神话国产动画电影了！结构和套路确实传统，但是玩出了花，浓浓的烟火气，以及留守儿童、打工人、小镇生活等现实因素的加入，让电影成为描摹广东生活的画卷。每个人的心中都有一头雄狮，可以是舞狮，也可以是任何小小的发光的自我。
赢得舞狮大赛的阿娟依然还是去了上海打工，一切好像都没有改变，但一切又好像都变了。
心中有鼓点，“世界万变，也不失这志气”…音乐用的很妙啊，已知歌单：《道山靓仔》五条人乐队、《纸飞机 Fly Away》廖颖轩、《世间始终你好》甄妮/罗文、《Rollin' On》椅子乐团、《今夜无人入睡》、《莫欺少年穷》九连真人、《无名的人》毛不易
如果大家能接受《雄狮少年》，为什么不能接受《燃野少年的天空》？
