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.
想起郭德纲说他刚起步说相声的时候，台下几乎没有人，有的观众要去厕所，就要等观众回来，好心酸。
为尊者讳。师父是固步自封不会变通的老顽固，搭档自私无德是个利己主义者，只有自己是被时代的力量推着向前走，所有对自己有利的决定都是不得已不得已的决定啊，但历史始终是由这些人书写，要么是胜利者，要么活得长——也不要说这是影视剧的套路，这就是人生的套路啊。
全世界的北野武影迷都该感谢浅草的深见千三郎先生。
6/10 很标准很日式，柳乐优弥确实有捕捉到北子爷的精髓，但仅限于表演的模仿。而且真的太煽情了，剥离开来之后甚至显得空洞。属于北野武的故事没多少北味，不是很满意
多少有些无聊，还是老爷子自编自导自演会看得更起劲
極富人情味的敘事，在懷古的鏡頭光線中主要映照的是愛徒與敬師，是表演家庭中的飄搖和扶持
结尾一镜到底+踢踏舞赛高！一日为师，终身为父。葬礼时同僚讲出来师匠不愿意关馆的原因时，瞬间泪奔。菊次郎里的踢踏舞也是像师匠致敬！唯一的遗憾就是要是北野武本人出境就好了。
6.5
生活才是最高的舞台，成为艺术家而不是表演艺术家。
北野武早期翻爬滚打的过往，平凡、执着的底层挣扎。
水准之上的传记电影，原著细腻的回忆碎片，让整个作品真实可信，演员表演非常到位，师徒之间细腻的情感流动也非常感人。遗憾之处是，师傅有自己坚持的从艺法则，但并未很好的映射到徒弟的成长弧光；人物也是单薄，师傅是慈父，徒弟是刻苦磨练且成名后不忘师傅，这里面缺乏了复杂的人性纠结，可能煽情笔墨太多，无暇顾及了吧。
女主空有一把好嗓子却无用武之地，甚至不得不牺牲色相来招徕顾客。
“师傅你就是性子急，有火葬场烧你骨灰，你干嘛自己先动手……”看到此处暴雨般哭泣。看的时候一直在回想北野武和二宫和也演的《红鳉鱼》，还在想，北野武和世界赛扬娜拉那天，他自己一定会笑着说，笨蛋，我死了这件事居然让你这么难过？PS.服化道满分，结尾的长镜头记忆穿越太棒！2022最佳运镜提名！
3.5/5 完全没发现老年北野武是影帝演的诶！
柳乐优弥扮的北野武挺有样，如果稍微再胖那么一点就更像了。北野武唱的主题曲也好听。
以为说浅草小子呢， 其实是深见千三郎~~~
从不怎么样到有所不同…反正功成名就的传记故事，长得都差不多吧…起点和终点…无非是过程中经历过不同的人，遇到过不同的事，最后迎来一个什么样的结果。
我不够了解北野武，但是我快哭傻了，嗷嗷哭，师父太好了，怎么这么好😭😭😭
不够喜剧也不够温情，也不够限制级。人物刻画方面徒有其外形，不甚走心。
这一段师徒情，如同父子情，情真意切。不要去讨好观众，不要扮丑，要有真功夫。
