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.
狗血之后再狗血，北美小时代。私生子都出来了，赢了赢了。感觉女主第四部可能会被强…又是不能怀孕，又是亲爸留宿的，感觉都是铺垫。
划下了狗血的结尾。。。到底还要拍多久。38min时女主说的正解了。以及这一部也是在奇奇怪怪的地方do，哎。
剧情继续鬼扯 解锁一堆买可乐场景 还是游客打卡式 估计演员都麻了 只好妈妈和叔叔也来do do出了第四部 哦买尬尬尬了 韩国好大儿没告诉你吗 其实还可以拍失忆和癌症 要不直接改A片好了 起码能看看纹身男孩真枪实弹
整部片子，可以说就是那种“戏说=胡说”的典型。 从剧作层面来看，它的风格割裂的，节奏是混乱的。
这个源起拍得太难看了，与其砸钱拍这么个破片子用来介绍《王牌特工》系列里的组织背景，不如做个PPT算了。
啊救命 苍了天了…男女主这种吵一架打一炮的节奏我已经很无语了，没想到俩人感情线上实在编不出花样的时候，狗血到上一代上了...给爷气笑了就是说（英雄哥的颜我忍着等等4吧
外国人的开放程度让一部分人活得自由，不受束缚也也让一部分人大开眼界。
从剧情到运镜甚至于sex scene全方位小儿科，比五十度系列还不如。
别总是你追我跑再见面和好
不得不说剧情比之前好得多，之前是校园狗血爱情片的话，现在就是现实爱情片了。对于异地恋的描绘太写实，与内心无法交付信任的人恋爱自然是非常辛苦。不敢相信我居然期待第四部了……
先说制作水准，是真的不太行。看完还以为是马修沃恩监制，结果是马修沃恩导演。。。
这个系列追到第三部，心态放得很平，因为第二部实在太烂了（当然我也依然在追）。看前半部分，我的内心：就这还好意思上imax？？看后半部分，我懂了，是为了战争和打斗画面是吧，也还行，完成度不错。但是剧情真的，无力吐槽，充满了意淫。
剧情能看，但有点弱智，最后逆转世界局势的是一只羊~~~~~额妈呀，导演这心机婊
不要问我为什么看了三部，问就是被费因斯家族的基因鬼迷了心窍。对第四部的剧情彻底不抱希望，只愿结尾不要出现“To be continued”字样。看完想提一个小小的建议，既然是系列剧，请不要把配角演员全换光啊（换爹我就忍了毕竟编剧也编不下去了）！
出4照样看…只是为了看颜值了………剧情………嗯，wattpad水平
比2稍微好一点，但也就那样吧。。谁能告诉我，这片还有第四部？！？！我不李姐。
总有一个瞬间想起你. by the way, 女主越来越像克里斯汀斯图尔特
先说制作水准，是真的不太行。看完还以为是马修沃恩监制，结果是马修沃恩导演。。。
现在还有这样狗血的剧情了吗？男女主的颜值支撑着看完
没看过前面两部。男女主颜值怼脸素颜都抗打，然而剧情这。。。也太脑残了吧，果然是《小时代》的感觉。。。然后有点像高级纯情黄片。😂😂😂反反复复没啥剧情，墨迹的。to be continued，妈呀😂
