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.
假哥特，很低龄，陪亲戚家孩子连看两部不好看的动画
还行，没有很刺激，很搞笑，但是传递的几个价值观的确引发深思。比如，这类网站真的有嘛？干这个判的这么轻？比如，女主的丈夫，算是混蛋嘛？我觉得不是啊，只是女主的极端的性格，他接受不了吧。然后开始有怨恨，开始冷漠，开始漠不关心。比如抓女主的那个胖胖，我觉得也没什么错啊，不过就是恪尽职守了嘛，非要让他在工作上放别人一马，也不妥啊，这不也是让人钻漏洞嘛。而且他不给小孩让座也合理啊，凭什么让啊。可以不让啊。
暗黑版欢乐一家亲，我还挺喜欢这个故事的画风与人设设定的，都说幼齿，我倒觉得消散时间一家人坐着看看挺美好的，关注家庭成员的内心深处，亲情是不变的核心，能抵得过任何怪兽。
黑暗风减少，欢乐更进一步，而且“亲子鉴定”看来也不太可信了，哈哈!
一开始没注意片头，觉得这也太扯了……直到标记的时候发现根据真实事件改编，这也太……
我觉得还可以，虽然很多都不合常理，娱乐嘛，那么认真干嘛
对比刘德华的《解救吾先生》，真的逊色很多，没想到黄政民表演最不自然是演自己哈哈哈哈哈哈
开头还让我挺有爆米花性质的 结局真的有点烂了
反派应该找成熟老道一点的演员，我不是说他演技不行，而是说观感不佳！黄政民演反派应该更好看哈哈哈哈～话说，人心那么散的团伙绑架也是醉了…
把犯罪片拍得轻松幽默且没有荤段子 真的不错

改个分 三星给中途突然出现的ace of spades！！！
用了闲鱼以后，感觉逐渐变得斤斤计较和有点贪小便宜，看了这部片的前半段有那么一点感触，几个角色都不讨喜，惊觉有点像自己。岂料后半段风云突变，导演为了突出一个脱胎换骨的独立励志女性，不惜安排一个不那么爱他但很无辜的老公；以及一段违法犯罪事迹顺带一个形象非常负面的执法者。克里斯丁贝尔的的确确是犯下了滔天罪行，但不知何故，整部影片的最后氛围非常奇怪，轻快的背景音乐和明亮的色调，剧情上不仅轻判，女主还像是没事儿一样寻求假释，最后还顺利离婚，赚了大钱，异国东山再起，成为了一种独立女性的榜样。拜托你是诈骗了几千万哎，老公很无辜好吗？不要把自己打造成一个没人爱的角色，这不都是自己作的吗？美国的法律就这么儿戏吗？这种奇怪的价值观到底是哪儿来的？更不用说电影里没事黑两把中国，完全没有必要。笑点低级，不值一看。
两条线？主角并不突出 大结局有点强行圆满 美国人总在追求真实自我 离婚顿悟追求真爱穷小子 唯一有感触的点在邮政探案二人组 大叔好挺拔 两封信很美
一出闹剧，没用的警察，无语的绑匪，没有一个是专业的。
"Different is what the extra D in Addams stands for."

太喜欢太喜欢黄政民了 反派人好多 加的人物也很多余 黄政民作为演员这个战斗力确实有点夸张了呃 不喜欢的感觉是在知道这个事是真实发生以及中国原版也看过的情况下 反派和警察给人一种为了演绎而演绎的感觉 喜欢最后鼻青脸肿的安静长镜头
要不是黄政民这电影真的太一般了 反派太多了也没什么必要而且演得太过了 每个人都好吵演技流于表面 黄政民台词超级好没有字幕每个词都听得清清楚楚
除了警察们看上去脑子不太好使
