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.
因为抖音一个短片浪费了我一个小时看俄宣，毫无内容的电影
战斗民族战斗很干净利索！感情线很好的融入这激烈战斗之中。感觉剧情有点散，可以再聚焦！
还算不错，开始时那个军官训话下意识的说苏联在前几年的俄罗斯电影可不多见的设计
大鹅主旋律电影，要素齐全，情感烘托也到位，前半部分拖沓了些
只小男孩得知父亲牺牲，姐姐哭泣，勇敢的告诉姐姐出去安慰母亲一幕感人，几处打击恐怖分子精彩，故事讲得差！
我们准备好了没有……
地球永远不平静，每个国家都需要保家卫国而生的真正军人，战斗民族更是。向英雄致敬。
3.5吧。
我们只能拍点战狼，红海行动啥的，莫名的对手。抗美援朝也就是最近两年才能看到……
如果是我，可能在45岁最后一次机会为了家庭选择做民航机长了，前半生为了国家，后半生为了家庭，没欠什么也完全没毛病。话说，男主老婆年轻时候也太美了。
俄乌战争期间应应景，垃圾字幕影响观感但是剧情也低于预期，最后炫武力不愧是战斗民族
战斗民族的真实战斗故事，深入敌后的剧情，可除了半小时科技战争画面很爽，既不燃，也不走心，文戏真是拖沓俗套的拍了一个半小时寂寞……
3、我一定要成为像你一样的军人。
文戏是最大败笔，近乎实战的描绘才是看点，可惜太少了！
想不到毛子的特种部队也会这样，外观猛看上去和海豹真没啥区别，大量俄式特种装备大开眼界，就是空地协同也太差了，用苏24这种飞机来做治安战的战场遮断和对地支援。
俄国人拍电影真是喜欢闪回，这里的黎明静悄悄、机组乘务员，家庭、爱人，浪漫的一塌糊涂。动作戏场面不小，但一点波折悬念都没有，直升机来了，受伤，走了，最后抢人，来了，抢到了，走了。前面那段抓恐怖分子还不错。
真实事件改编 看的很过瘾 战斗场面不少 苏联解体那段看的人感慨万千 时代的更替 个人的选择 主人公从军校毕业 一路走来 最终践行了自己的誓言
居然还能顺道惋惜一下cccp。可惜了电影激战的戏份有点少
过于煽情了些 ，铺垫也很长，表现俄罗斯军人勇猛主旋律，反倒感到有些假 ！
演员的表演也是灾难级别的。
