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.
…妻子的复仇？尼玛，就秀恩爱给前夫咯 无语
這故事挺有意思 虛實交錯的劇本...... 柄本佑演技最佳
通过场景的虚实转换、情节的几度反转、人物的新颖设定，上演了一出不动声色的复仇轻喜剧。
虚虚实实，用漫画情节推动现实人物行为发展，丈夫放弃漫画浑浑噩噩并出轨，妻子在丈夫身上也再见不到当年为之倾慕的“老师”的光采，婚姻已名存实亡。与其说是复仇，不如说是对二人的救赎。
夫妻间不说话 靠漫画或者驾校老师才能开启
全程都很舒服，黑木华以后要更多面相出演了吧
虚虚实实，真真假假，切换的特别有趣，用漫画的方式引人进去，加剧了紧张感
感觉就是为了凑蜘蛛侠三连，故意编这么个扯淡故事出来。但这种设定太伤角色了，这不就是自己胡折腾么。然后，还要美其名曰成长的代价，太有病了。
虚虚实实，少女漫反讽有点意思，演员也不错。但整体意思不大，很多地方拍得太硬、太实，少女漫的幼稚感也很要命，结局翻了也就那样。
看到托比和加菲激动的说不出话来！全场都在鼓掌呐喊，exciting！
把托比和加菲请出来就是为了让大家对比看看荷兰弟的表现到底有多差，把他衬得像个小学生。 尤其加菲，参演过很多其他类型片子，演技得到锻炼，眼睛里有戏。而荷兰弟单独拍还勉强可以，现在同框一比较就露怯了。剧情很笨拙很傻，真就纯靠情怀吃遍全球市场，IMDB能顶到近9分也是让人吃惊。
挺有意思的复仇出轨剧 不过这招只对这种丈夫有用吧
饰演责编这个演员，自从我看完轮到你了她饰演的角色之后，每次看到她我都觉得她有丝偏执的怪异哈哈。这个结局还是女主最后和驾校教练私奔了哈
但它是对蜘蛛侠影迷来说，一封最好的情书。
超级英雄电影彻底沦为游乐园，经典角色经典台词经典场景如同“景点”在观众面前跑马灯一样掠过。当然，情怀满分，跟我差不多大的小孩都是看着蜘蛛侠长大的。然而超高浓度的情怀贩卖却基于一个孱弱的无理的第二幕，以至于之后的所有段落都有难以摆脱的幼稚感，最后二十分钟的我：“我为什么会流眼泪，这有道理吗？！呜呜呜！！！”
看藍鳥感想說是前半像「Gone Girl」後半疲軟，不過我的感想完全相反，前半故事起架構的階段蠻無力的，但是四角形成之後反而不知是真實發生還是sawako的作品雲裡霧裡刺激了不少，連上結局也才爽快到。sawako果然是不倫的時候要美了不少。全片最強的是千佳，她一到鄉下成個氛圍被提起來了，根本就是做好準備態勢隨時進入修羅場，笑死，奈緒太可愛了。//話說「漫長的告別」華妹演男主先生的不倫相手，現在則是演了男主先生的妻子🤓
不知道为啥看了黑木华这么多电影就是喜欢不起来，所以每次遇到她演的电影也就跟着没那么喜欢，还好这次的男主比较喜欢，本柄佑出身于演员世家，演技有种不漏声色的随意与自然可爱。漫画和真实穿插的部分很可爱，一度有了悬疑的味道甚至被导演骗了，以为是女主对男主的试探和考验，谁知道最后是女主真的出轨了。片中的两个男子都像是女性的工具，可是爱情是什么呢？学车教练仿佛是她报复丈夫的工具，而最后口口说着我还爱你只是无法原谅你转身离开就是洒脱吗？把画作署丈夫的名字是施舍吗？不过日本人在探讨爱情方面总是更为直接新颖且大胆的。喜欢女主妈妈的大房子和庭院。以及夫妻没去成和情人去成的蓝色大海。幽默是有的，不过大概是因为疫情吧感觉电影还是局限在小空间里。
影史最伟大的集结！不只是荷兰弟三部曲一个完整的收尾，更是整个八部蜘蛛侠电影的一次很好的回顾总结！能力越大，责任越大，荷兰弟在经历他的宿命之后，终于成为了一个真正的超级英雄，一个真正的蜘蛛侠。
日本故事片《老师，您能坐在我旁边吗？》又是一部反映内容和表现手法虚实结合，虚虚实实交错的婚外情的电影，前不久看过一部类似漫画杀人虚实结合的影片，好像日本电影喜欢采用这样的艺术表现形式，很早以前看过的《蒲田进行曲》都是这样的。
双语字幕看起来，居然很多能看懂，学习有进步
