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.
你说隐晦吧，其实就那点事儿；你说深刻吧，其实有点故弄玄虚；你说黑色幽默吧，节奏又很文艺；你说结局暧昧吧，解读空间还有限。有点虚无主义了。
离大谱但是又自圆其说好温馨的一部剧，对是看剧的感觉。一开始觉得那对半路夫妻好自私啊都，但看到最后只有亲爹这个角色超级不喜欢，真就只考虑自己吧。其他角色都好可爱，闲来无事想看日常剧的话还是值得一看的(肝due期间陆陆续续下饭看完了)
可看可不看吧…表演和画面还可以，能理解想表达的情感。但这么多人物塞到两个多小时的电影里确实有点为难。
我好土，虽然真的很梦幻很假，但我就喜欢这种happyending。说句题外话，能不能让永野芽郁和小九去演另外一部好结局的花束恋爱？我看他们也可以！
剧里的穿搭都不错，老公很喜欢和我讨论这个。 手法也是交错穿插的切换的，故事更有层次感。感情方面没得说，诠释的很饱满，哭得梨花带雨
比较紧凑 拍成电视剧可能会更好 改了原作一些内容 并且着重是在优子毕业之后的剧情 没看过原著的就看电影可能会有些晕；还是可以的，就是太紧凑 奔着十元当妈看的（今年四月也确实当上了哈哈）
导演借用隐喻，让充满矛盾的“我”内心相互搏杀。最终用周边人认可的“新我”灭杀了自我认可的“本我”。但是这个“新我”在杀死“本我”后，迷失在人生的十字路口，不知所措。
虽然说是冲着永野芽郁石原里美去看的，但是十元的角色也太……“面具”了。虽然影片想讲述的是多个父母对女儿不同形式一样的爱，可是『女儿』作为“接力棒”这个意象真的很父权家长制😓我觉得全片演技最好的是小咪，优子好美🥹
总体来说是一部温情的日影，电影前半段还可以，虽然我总觉得为了推进剧情发展而人物动机不足，但是因为小演员樱樱很可爱演技很好、咩酱和石原里美都很漂亮（编发好好看）就继续看下去了；没想到电影的后半段剧情更加稀碎，无聊至极，看得我一直拉进度条。
三星给永野 后妈自私、亲爹任性 故事的大前提垮掉导致整部电影除了永野的演技外一塌糊涂
看到一半才领悟故事线。没想到最后面的部分才是感人的地方。原本以为十元只是个不想养小孩的懒惰妈妈，结果最后完全被感动到。
随着时间的不断，还是带着感情的电影让人满意
虽然知道电影的套路预想到了结局，但我还是哭了，因为不管是从前的小樱也好还是后来的小优优酱也好，始终被爱包裹，平安的长大。我觉得可能这就是感动我的地方，虽然没有血缘关系，但梨花对待小优就像亲生女儿，虽然森宫直到结婚前那一刻才知道小优的存在，虽然他是东大毕业后生活没有方向，但他还是接受了小优，在陪伴小优成长的过程中自己也一同成长。比起早濑虽然有血缘但毫无人情味的家庭关系可言，小优是幸运的，也是幸福的。但整部片子我一开始看的其实是一头雾水，等到后半段才慢慢明白，可能原著更感人吧~
怎么做到一边生重病一边大美女跟三个优质男结婚的。。
冲着小粉来的，结尾引人深思，我一直觉着活着是一种诅咒！
故事娓娓道来，节奏恰到好处。不用想什么背景合不合理，感动就是了。
田中圭，多演爹吧，谢。美女都很美。如果那个女人是十元，倒是也可以理解那几个怨种老公……故事真的土到了。日本人好爱结婚。
恕我无法理解这个莫名其妙的展开……我的观影感受一直在女士的演技好不适合大荧幕和竟然还不错之间反复横跳。还有4y的哭戏看起来真的很干净漂亮。
05.05 爱的接力棒
虽然剧情有点不太现实 夸张了 但是最后还是看哭了 咩酱流泪真的是仙女流泪 十元也是笑颜赛高！
