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.
电信诈骗:世界看亚洲，亚洲看中国，中国看台湾。
反诈骗教育片，典型韩国工业电影，在选材上与《巨额来电》《反诈风暴之不可饶恕》《反诈风暴之情爱迷局》《反诈风暴之罪恶来电》《反诈风暴之猫鼠之战》《反诈风暴之陌生号码》类似，剧情也与这些类似，不过没有拿着真实案例改变的我国电影扎实，主角身份背景逻辑与战狼2类似，非身份才能异国动手，大量使用室内棚拍来压低预算。
其实吧，神庙迷宫那段陷阱机关挺好的，很有游戏的感觉，可惜就那么一丢丢，剩下的就是那些老掉牙的伐木累了……22.05.23
这个我朝是真的能翻拍，同样深受其害，又有社会意义，这次工信部宣传口也花点钱吧，趁我们战狼没老，比卞约汉还能打，拍境外电信诈骗坏人在境外，也没什么审查禁忌，不考虑弯弯的话，我们就™把诈骗团伙的境外基地放在韩国然后狂黑他们，友情互黑嘛。
先说缺点再说有点吧1.人物没有做透，前史也没有交代清楚 2.打戏不够刺激 3.剧情太突然，没有铺垫 优点1.电信诈骗窝点的洗脑做的很足 2.视觉效果还不错
抛开中国元素不说，能同时做到科普电信诈骗，又有动作戏把我看爽了，韩国商业片是目前全球最强不过分吧。
三星半。比第一部好多了，三个角色都凑齐了，很有看头。
很好看，现在动画加人物的做的实在太棒了，还有笑点很足
肉眼可见的低成本，金凯瑞的无实物表演高出其他人一大截，剧情低幼向，砍掉半小时更好。纳克鲁斯好可爱，有下一集我还是会看的
看第一部时刚从国内回到美国，现在第二部都上了回国之日依然遥遥无期…唉…
个人评分3.6/10【F】
为了金凯瑞来看的，他是最大的亮点，坏蛋也不是那么好演
很欢乐，
电信诈骗这个题材好，但是开头那女的还有那老板被骗的也太容易了吧....后面还不断黑中国.....秀逗的
好吧，能看下去也不容易，觉得比国产的那个电话诈骗的电影差，好多bug，不说也罢，毕竟太多了
很一般吧，各种的。限于经费的原因吧，中国的场景设置的十分寒酸，最后的宣言是否极为眼熟？
不过冲着金凯利和刺猬
韩式superhero爽片。个人英雄主义和主角光环加身的牛逼操作拯救了受难的众生，你好我好大家好哈哈哈。(但是把西安叫沈阳，看见特写陕A车牌和路过钟鼓楼我有点笑出声叻
就是你也不能说很烂 其实我看的还挺开心的 但是说到底 剧情还是挺低幼的
反派傻不乎乎的！以及各种融梗吐槽简直加分！
