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.
我永远爱Hilda
好像还是没解释清楚为什么巨魔妈妈要把自己孩子和希尔达互换啊
看完这部动画电影后觉得还行，剧情紧凑条理清晰井然有序
She is guarding me all the time. Sometimes she hurts me a lot. But, she also entirely secures me. Mommy.
可爱温柔的童话故事，故事很治愈很温柔，推荐观看
希尔达，我吹爆！！！！会被奇怪的感动。有伏笔必填的典范
请先观看前两季
进击的巨人？ 这山丘之王镶了个大红眼睛 像痞老板哈哈。故事围绕的是母爱的故事
虽然但是，为什么人类不可以搬到另一个地方让巨魔妈妈出来啊
最后结局格局真的很大，竟然人类和巨魔也能和平相处，所有巨魔在广场上长出各种奇奇怪怪小花的那一幕很可爱，也很感动。果然希尔达的世界永远充满了爱、包容和理解。
前面还有两部，但我是很久之前看的了，有些忘记了，所以剧情有点连不上，不过看完后还是觉得很感动和治愈。
love always love
巨魔意味着自然界可怕的，危险的东西，可以是豺狼虎豹，也可以是火山海啸，地球母亲让出了许多地方给人类，可原驻民，那些生物和自然景观，被人类排挤，堤防。人类社区太大了，巨魔要反抗，自然母亲也见不得儿女苦难。
我们通常对自己不了解的事物存有刻板印象，误解了那些心怀善意的陌生人。这部动画的另一主旨是爱啊，爱让彼此靠近，希尔达和巨人母亲，巴巴和家人，学生们和巨魔，巨魔们对他们的巨魔母亲，巨魔母亲对于人类，爱真的能化解纷争
故事情节其实是个非常好的故事，不光是对原著的改编，也是对剧集剧情几乎完美的收束。但是讲出来的效果会差一些，情节推进太仓促了，导致很多人物的行为动机处理得很粗糙，感觉还是有很多细节可以补充，让人物形象更细腻丰富的。但是不管怎样，如果真的没第三季了，这也是一个好结尾，一个热爱冒险的蓝毛小女孩讲述关于爱.理解与包容的故事。
看似一部简单的儿童动画，表面上是一个人类小孩和山怪宝宝调包的故事，背后却是对母爱的伟大歌颂，自然母亲对人类的包容，以及人与自然和谐相处的思考
我还是觉得这是一部是个孩子看的动画片，可能是已经有了太多的猜测我看这部电影的感触并不深，但是有一点感觉还很有趣吧，就是那个母爱不该被认为理所当然。
延续tv的高质量演出和情感引导，但由于部分角色塑造的完成度不高（king of mountain和他的brother、captain等），确实还有进步空间。
2022-01-07 五星啊。Hilda真的是可爱聪明勇敢坚持爱与希望的美好小孩子典范了。治愈系美漫传递出来的peace&love真的美好、太适合给小孩子看了。期待第三季！
奇幻动画剧集的典范啊！以及这个剧场版，从哪一方面都觉得做得很不错
