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.
前半部分的碎碎念流水账还挺有意思的，希望年底b社的星空至少可以复刻出黄金时代美妙的NASApunk氛围
7/10
韩老师第一次要走那里真的好怕他不回来了也怕他回来，就是那种明知道这条路很苦却还是要走的感觉
很喜欢这种用写流水日记的形式来回忆童年和国家大事件交织的故事。仿佛换个视角看家庭邻里，兄弟姐妹的日常小事，阿波罗登月的大事。大小事交织，被命运裹挟着往前走，当下的快乐才显得弥足珍贵。有点类似看请回答1988那样的感触，真实，真情，不狗血。
虽然那是与我毫无关联的美国60年代，但对于我这样喜欢怀旧的人来说看这部片子就好像吞下了一片能够穿越时空的胶囊，把我拉回童年少年时的岁月。我也曾在看北京奥运会开幕式时睡着，醒来的时候差点错过点火。汶川地震后和家人一起去人声鼎沸的广场“避难”，心里却是为这从来没见过的景象感到兴奋。时间就这样晃啊晃，晃到现在微博炸号豆瓣禁言，那些”载入史册“的事件变得离我愈发遥远，我只想偶尔沉浸在回忆当中，去回访一下那些阳光灿烂的日子。那些记忆依然鲜活，所以我的心里还常怀希望。
理查林克萊特自己的年少時代，滿滿1960年代回憶大串燒，上太空只是幌子，更多是太空競賽氛圍導致自身對上太空的嚮往而產生的投射，就像昆汀、PTA近期作品對於童年回憶的緬懷，理查林克萊特的童年回憶，也是在打鬧、金曲、電影、遊樂園中度過，終究是美國人的故事，但是克萊特把他的童年回憶用動畫片的形式表達，也確實頗有可看性，不過近期最愛的導演童年回憶作仍然是PTA的《甘草比薩》，真希望能在大銀幕看阿🥺🥺
能看得出来特效什么的都很一般，唯一值得称赞的就是藏区那美丽的景色
描写了少年视角的60年代美国的社会生活，前半段有点无聊，后半段有点蒙太奇，所以说真正的月球第一人深藏功与名，这算讽刺吗？
看完心里酸酸的，为什么好人到最后却不长命呢？这样的结局真的是好的吗
选择和坚持，亘古的难题，但在无边草原上孕育着最纯粹的付出。水电网于今日的我们是寻常之事，但在曾经的藏区草原，要克服这些稀缺而作出的选择和坚持，是难以想象地让人敬佩。草原很美，人心更美。在这个影片看到的纯粹，是让我觉得最温暖的地方。
现在的藏区也这么危险吗？我以为被狼追，屋子漏雨这些情况都不会出现了呢，如果还是这样的话，希望可以发起募捐，我可以尽我所能帮助一些...
朗措不配拥有爱情吗？他那么帅，这才是我心目中男主的样子啊！
1. 充满怀旧感，那是科技理性和消费理性为人类制造梦幻的最后时刻。和今日的无序消极对照。2. 书写历史的精彩文本，融入了流行文化，媒介（电视、电话），个人叙事，甚至虚构，历史变得丰富多彩。3. 导演的音乐品味极佳。动画形式让剪辑无比灵动。4. 想起迅哥的社戏，再也没有吃过那么好吃的豆了，再也没有去过那么远的旅行了，童年逝去的时刻
#敲！盗猎者又是啥啊，朗措哥哥！！！😭️
如果能出续集或者是出一个第二部的话，就更好了，每个孩子都有自己的特点，也能独立的撑起一部剧
三星半。通过一个少年的登月梦想，前半段回顾了上世纪60年代美国主要经历的大事件以及文化上的变化，后半段以少年代入式来讲阿波罗和宇航员首次登月的过程。最后有讲到这几十年没有人再重返月球，但事实上，一直有人想要并在计划着重返月球（几个大国现在都有登月计划）。当人类的足迹已经深入到太空中的时候，就不会再满足于地球本身了。更宏大的视野，正在扩开每个追梦人的胸怀。
看到孩子们那么简单的吃食都吃的很开心，想到现在平时浪费粮食，觉得自己很可耻
提及很多电影和TV show&乐队
那是一个惨绝人寰的世界，也是一个凤凰涅槃的世界
总觉得这里面的感情基础都好容易建立啊，只能说这种理想化也只有电影里才能出现了。
