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.
黑夜尚有的温存，留藏在午夜人的心声中。回忆是过去种下的疤痕，在它生根发芽之后，及时的疗治是不可多求的可能，尤其是在这孤独的城市中。
对街边少女的收留很欧洲白人了 sentimental
“这不是我所期望的生活 但我已经尽全力去热爱它了” 在毫无防备的时候 突然意想不到的被戳中 “我懂你爱我” 我的天哪 光下的尘埃总有落定的片刻 那些片段和生活的瞬间 让人猝不及防 这就是生活啊 我们不断passing through.. 在不同路口有不同境遇 这些点点滴滴 构成了我们的生活
虽然不是我能怀的(法国80年代中产)旧/但还是有点点被打动到
比起儿子和少女那条线，更喜欢伊丽莎白的情感部分
太舒服了，尽管可以说生活像流水账一样在平平无奇地进行，而所有人都只是巴黎这座城市的旅人。平淡但不寡淡，所有的情绪和波澜都恰到好处。
Mom是Charlotte Gainsbourg饰演的，她给我的感觉太独特了，永远那么温柔永远穿衣好看，春风细雨中蕴含着抚慰人心的强大力量，想在多看些她的作品！Son和Ewan Mcgregor神似，Talulah很有自己的行事风格，Sister很有领导的魅力很自信爽朗大方~
不仅在讲述这几个人的故事
这样温柔的夜色和温柔的人 我们都是彼此生命中的过客 即使短暂相聚 这份温情也常留我心 太多戳我的点了 哭了好几次 从elisabeth在录音室外面的长椅上和talulla说 你跟我回家吧 这里太冷了 T.T
在黑暗里看这部影片实在是很有触动。巴黎的夜景，瞬间的情动，孤独的天台秘密。想起我的高中，躲掉吃饭的时间在教室里听电台，还有无数个我刻意和被迫成为旅人的孤单。好想去巴黎看夜景抽烟喝酒。法国人，一个用脚拍也能拍出三星好评的国度。
高饱和度的画面、明亮的客厅，给岌岌可危的我的脆弱的生活带来了浓郁的久违的新鲜。没有朝生暮死的放纵，是80年代很有希望的感觉。内向的小哥这里真的表现得很内向，很棒。甘斯布美丽又游刃有余，非常女神。
这几天一直觉得很累，花了两个晚上看完了，看着放心、自由、舒畅
转变画幅与胶片质感模糊时间，永恒的巴黎夜色下人们的不安躁动才是流淌的一环。坠入冰冷的河水，药物弥散在大脑中，身躯无处隐蔽，被抛弃，被忽视，被压抑。却仍然可以去看《鸟人》，去看侯麦的新片。和关于杜拉斯，李维特的一切。那是最坏的时代，也是最好的时代。
躺下
日光之下皆覆辙，夜色深里无旧梦，上世纪八十年代的法国迷人透了，他们没赶上《鸟人》，去看了《圆月映花都》，墙上还有《德州巴黎》的海报，敬所有有你们在场的快乐
【电影院能够忘记一些事情】moviebuff的共鸣
夏洛特甘斯布好优雅。
一种由内而外的nostalgie，让电影略显老派。纯粹被巴黎的夜晚打动，在那样的夜色里穿行过的人会懂，那些情绪弥漫仿佛不能被天光阻挡，在每块梦境碎片上都残存着他人眼中瞥见的自己，铁塔的微光，河水的黑影，红色的车线，曾经的记忆也终于像梦一样了，仅有的确信即是，那里的夜晚就是如此。
悲伤的温暖的愉悦的蓝色影像，有时候像蓝丝绒有时候像蓝薄纱，但都是很轻盈的，城市的蓝色天幕和车流灯光仿佛笼罩着一层蓝颜色质感的材质，愉悦时可以看到随着微风轻轻荡漾的毛流，悲伤时可以触摸到粗糙的颗粒和沟壑感，就像这部电影传递的城市和个体状态，清晰的感受着它的每一缕弧度以及在光里泛着的光影尘埃，对于状态的呈现非常成功，原来城市里蓝色这样的冷色调也能如此温柔可爱。
与巴黎有关的故事，总是会多一点浪漫和深情，跟文艺挂钩的主题，在谢幕之后难免令人怅然。两个女主演的眼眸深邃又沧桑，站在一起就感觉好悲伤。电影拍的空镜和运用的音乐🎶都很美。影片一直在讲冬天，直至落幕前，才能在镜中镜看到寥寥几个小孩儿在夏日游玩。（此片露点不少，但是这些部分并不动人）
