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.
一个会弹钢琴，会下围棋，内心正义的数学家来教你数学课的故事。当然，还有必不可少的南北对立元素。
一步步走向深渊，但在这种黑暗地带，他的选择应该算是很好的了。在这种看不见希望的日子里，四千块钱就是压倒骆驼的最后一根稻草。

整個國家從上到下 的食物鏈 人不為己 天誅地滅 看完真實到很沉重
人性如此，这也是拉美那种弱肉强食的人吃人黑暗一直持续的原因之一；当男主在老板喝醉后仍把枪放回桌上之后，他在议员家就应该不会再问什么做完工会不会给工人自由这个问题了。
-那是什么样的人？
对人性 对一些社会的现状诠释的太真实了 真实的让人脊背忍不住丝丝发凉 人之初性本善没错 但人终归是自私的 当你有机会有能力让自己甚至是家人摆脱泥沼时 又怎会再跳入深潭呢 即使牺牲的 放弃的 是初心 是原来的自我 是同在泥沼中挣扎的伙伴 又何妨呢？ 试问自己 又何尝能肯定不是马图斯呢 所以 不要愤怒 更不要假惺惺的站在道德制高点指手画脚 如果实在想不通 就权当做优胜劣汰物竞天择吧
无意间看到是8分作品就点了进去，但是看了三分之二就看不下去了。故事脉络太容易猜了，男主性格很分裂：低调寡言的人在数学家面前格外傲娇卖萌。对于数学的理解，突飞猛进得太突然了，以至于羸弱性格的人突然间自信满满反驳老师这个场景特别站不住脚（从性格和数学能力两方面看，都不现实）可以有很悲剧的生活，但是全都堆积在几个主要人物上，叙事就格外着急……
《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫：集异璧之大成》尤其巴赫的音乐出来的时候

他们剥离出来的铜丝遍布了这个城市 上层的小孩很幸福 想起了寄生虫里面 我如果有钱我也会很善良
一部残酷的现实主义片，一段从被压迫者转变为压迫者的无情之路。现代化的一切光鲜亮丽真的都是建立在肮脏和血腥之上的
【巴西】到目前为止，留下最深刻印象的一部。整体感觉是面面俱到，并且完全不因为想实现的东西而变得繁赘。聚焦社会讨论（现代奴隶，人口贩卖，青少年伤害 etc.）的篇幅和Mateus最终命运的剧情悬念之间拥有很微妙的折中。角色的工作路线和日常生活，如同一档观察类纪录节目，看尽这里的动荡与置身其中的暗无天日；却又始终为他能否“逃出生天”，进行铺路。哪里都做对了，也就合适了。
😣跟坏人待久了或许不知不觉中自己真的也会变成坏人...但其实男主的做法也能理解...
如果这个片子只有7分左右，那国产一大批电影都该给负分，尤其是最近上映的那个让人脚趾扣地板的那个破片子！
