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.
中规中矩的励志温情故事。对南韩教育的讽刺也是家常便饭了。展现数学美丽的部分有点意思，圆周率化身曲谱的点很惊艳，虽不知真假。崔岷植的表演驾轻就熟。
各种动物实在太可爱了。不过放到现实生活中，除了考拉，其他的我该害怕的还是害怕哈
我，一个刚正不阿的格兰芬多，真的长了对大卫椰子和华纳高管全体阿瓦达啃大瓜的心。
题材挺好就是后边处理太爽片了，导致整个高潮部分都很弱，ps真的好羡慕男主角能遇到这种老师，上学上到博士了还是没能遇到过类似的
迄今看过的最像短视频合辑的电影，每隔几分钟划一下手指，一场戏就过去了，前后内容互不影响，没有任何有机联系；各种华丽角色轮番出场又不知所云的样子，像极了带货的网红，至于带的什么货，你说呢。
如果你看过玄幻修仙网文，这几乎是一样的套路。难得的是，这是一个平铺直叙的故事，我们看到的是一老一少之间的情谊，看到的是对社会现象的批评，以及远胜一切地对于理想的追求。青春成长电影，不励志，不煽情。
非常值得一看，简直是一部韩国电影史。前半段带一点悬疑和类型，后面就成大糖水片了。太像世纪初韩国电影坚持类型片走出了一条自己的路，寄生虫 后突然失去目标，变的和春晚相声一样无聊。崔岷植在电影里特别努力，但他好像不知道该怎么发力了。扫地僧内心戏太多，明显是为了结尾拔高的刻意设计，这种设计严重影响了演员对角色的塑造，简而言之就是，想多了。
“我丑 你也丑 大家都该这么丑 丑是美的新潮流”丑东西协会暗号已经掌握👌🏻
典型的剧情套路但是好看，评分低可能是因为前些年韩国电影的飞速崛起把国内观众的期望值拉的太高。
说它不是澳洲人拍的吧，各种元素用得是真溜…… 说它是澳洲人拍的吧，能解救cane toad也不知道是怎么想的……
又是一部南边讲北边的电影。朝鲜数学家解出几百年来都解不开的数学题后，批评朝鲜 “我学数学发现这边用于制造武器” ，叛逃到韩国后成为高中校园保安，批评韩国 “学数学在另一边被用作进好大学和获高薪工作的工具” 。两边都不好，两边都禁锢。又是一部同时批评两边的韩国电影。
居然还挺好看的😂 丑东西保护协会口号太可了
你一直在找家人 其实家人就在你身边 看完我都要思考 小虫子看到我是不是也像我看到它一样怕怕的哈哈哈
阿珂哭道：“你快杀，不杀的不是好汉。你快杀我师弟，先……先杀他好了。”吴立身向韦小宝瞧了一眼，心道：“这姑娘对你如此无情无义，你又何必娶她？”韦小宝心中也在怒骂：“臭小娘，为什么先杀我？”
含金汤勺的玩世不恭风格还挺适合考拉这个角色。动物园选在悉尼还挺有熟悉感的
很无聊，不知道想说什么，然后待在电影院空调很大很冷，电影的声音也很大，整个过程如坐针毡……
一开始的小漂亮到中间都是个说话欠揍的家伙，后面还是可爱了一把。
