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.
Good luck, take care.
非常有趣的选题，像一个都市童话。我们亚洲人日常以为欧美人自由开放，实际上世界女性大同，大家都有自己的年代痕迹和被女性身份束缚的门槛，并不能像男性那样随心所欲。南希那种渴望打破常规又局促不安的心理表现得太好了。里奥很有魅力，令人舒适，但是对比现实生活就显得有点乌托邦。取悦自己、与自己和解是女性毕生的课题。
2、每一个人都生而美丽。爱自己，就是爱一切的开始。
为男主的颜值点赞。完全长在了我的审美点上。
被性吸引、被身体吸引、享受性的喜悦，享受荷尔蒙带来相互的快乐，多美的事呢
剧本、演员和调度好到，就算充满了标签化的表达，还是忍不住非常、非常的入戏！男主太迷人了！
简单精悍，一个电影就一个场景，俩人（后面增加了一个场景和另外一个角色感觉略显鸡肋）力求只把一个事讲清楚，是我喜欢的
Emma Thompson 演的也太好了，男主有点接不住。结局最后的镜头完美！
太棒了，我希望我认识的所有女性朋友们都看这部电影
尺度够大，就节奏很工整但同时设定很讨巧人物也很设计感，谈话也是颇为知识分子式的探讨。
Jesus loves you more than you will know
还挺喜欢如今自己的观影习惯：因为豆瓣八点多的高评分而产生兴趣，并在对影片基本未知的情况下直接找来观看，然后，没想到女主角竟然是艾玛·汤普森，没想到讲述的是这样的“情色”故事，想起，之前有刷到与本片相关的新闻，但那时并没有细看，所以对这部影片的了解才会如此之少，最后，又一次收获到如“开盲盒”般的惊喜观影体验。
我让我岳母一个人看了。后来我看了，LEO真是一个性圣人！
喋喋不休仿佛是艾玛·汤普森几十年的戏路，简直分不清是导演照着她写的剧本还是她让角色变成了这样的女人。故事的走向几乎可以预测，从单向的按摩到双向的打开，不过最后一幕还是让我小小地震颤了一下，女主角对着镜子和镜头褪下衣服，兀自欣赏起自己的身体——接受“愉悦”之后，悦纳自己才是终极的人生课题。
这部电影就是一个fantasy.
四次sex体验，四次女性心理疗愈，结论，能让女人快乐的一定是女人自己。还得是女导演来拍！
每个人干好自己的工作就好了，有的人爹味很浓，有的人妈味很浓，电影中能和解的始终只是电影，现实中可能就互爆真名报复了。
不要期待这部电影讨论什么严肃的社会议题，去掉“性喜剧”的噱头它便是一个温情小品：重形式而弱文本，将复杂的生活真实简化成万事总可和解、一切皆有出路。我通常称之为现实主义奇幻片。现实中遇到此般脸帅身材好有文化又温柔还敬业的金鸭，比遇到会飞的独角兽可能性还要低吧。
安全词的重要性。
与ta人发生身体和心理上连结 通过性和关系探索自己的身体 多么美好 男人的oo不是彩虹魔法棒插入一次就把你变成完全不一样的人 希望每位女性都能在人生旅程中自由探索性的领域//羡慕英国能拍出这样的电影 羡慕别国电影院和电影节能上映😢
