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.
看和被看，女主的悲劇是因為太關注他人的生活。
没什么营养的片子，有欲望有肉体还有悬疑反转，看着带劲就得了。p.s.那个亚裔女主好美
3.5。倾向于是辩证有神论者信仰虔诚与否的宗教片。被“上帝抛弃的人”所带来的见鬼魂设定是向一神论者发出的嘲讽，也是对未被意识形态全权灌输洗脑的教徒的一次信仰试炼。从这个角度来看，护士长的几次主观选择才是戏中表达核心所在。
那自以为是的正义感只要稍加包装，便能说服自己行不当之事。故事很老派，结局很崩坏。
男二那一张没内涵的娃娃脸哪里有一丁点性感天才摄影师的样子啦！！
前面太苦了，那种无尽坠落和无力改变的苦，太难熬了。
6.5/10，其实结局停留在摄影展就够了，最后强行反转反而落入了俗套。
欲壑难填，无知蛇吞象；恨错难返，好奇害死猫。当你在凝视深渊的时候，_______。
故事非常完整，好于以往任何类似情节的片子。女主演技一流。
结局实在是傻。。不要随便有歪念想偷窥别人，这个世界还真不知道是谁偷窥谁。。三级场面是噱头。
虽然觉得不要反转可能会更好，但是这个反转还挺……适度的。
下半年最惊喜，现代版《后窗》，唯一的缺点是结尾太俗，但导演的野心可以看出来了。男帅女美，要颜值有颜值，要身材有身材，要镜头语言有镜头语言，还是牛头人，夫复何求！本哈迪多演点这种，比坠机摔死的天使好多了！
尺度挺大，床上动作戏挺引人的，节奏也比较快。看的时候知道肯定有反转，所以一直在等那个节点来，可惜的是主创把这个点埋的过于靠后了，女主都献身了，我还以为她有备而去的，结果真的只是被诱惑了。最后结尾复仇有点快，有点草率了，稍微有点烂尾了，意犹未尽的感觉
纯粹是直男向色情片，算不上悬疑片，因为剧本太烂，逻辑不合理，情节发展也好猜，哪有悬疑性
为了反转而反转..题材还行..基本上就是软色情片
好无聊的一个故事，但是几个演员都真的太好看了
摄影和配乐都是一流，演员的表演也相当出彩，但节奏太过于平了，毫无起伏，两个钟头的片竟然没有一个瞬间能让我心动，太可惜了，明明可以成为飞跃疯人院那样激励人心的片子......虽然是梅拉尼的粉，但感觉她作为导演还是要继续努力才行啊
不要试图去解析欲望，浅薄了会显得庸俗，深刻了会让人疯狂。
The.Voyeurs.2021.1080p.WEB.H264-TIMECUT节奏偏慢
预：7.6。自评7.8。整体观影体验前面四分之三觉得有好多地方强情节，在细节上是经不起推敲的。但最后一趴一系列的反转把前面的问题又都给圆了回来，例如她男友怎么可能会自杀一点可能都没有（当然也不能有警方介入例如尸检是中毒啥的…，影片毕竟是偷窥主题）。之前觉得突兀的情节可能就没那么突兀了 先结果后原因。
