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.
还不错的，之前一直在追电视剧版，现在这个也很好看，值得一看。
服化道极佳……剧情属寻常电视剧水平，不过整体逻辑算说得过去。观影于鲁迅曾光顾的永汉电影院。
Always have always will
很多年后，已故好莱坞著名导演的遗嘱里将一栋大别墅给了大小姐。大小姐的后人纷纷猜测其中一段香艳往事，最后大小姐会跟他们讲出这段发乎情止乎礼的感情：一个没有发生的吻，成了永恒。
婚姻是长篇小说novel 不是短篇
tips这电影对非唐顿迷不友好，会看不懂
Granny的离世宣告了一个系列的结束；四角俱全的努力，八方都照顾到也基本上都蜻蜓点水，很多角色都没正经台词和decent银幕时间。大表姐、二表姐都与时俱进，老爷有点儿返老还童（身世疑云弄得人都失态了），大姐夫只存在于台词里，三妹夫等于和唐家屯没啥关系了，最后抱孩子来聚集众人实在有点儿不自然。小火车颜值回升啊！（星星眼）——（6/10演技状态也恢复到剧集时期了，各种微妙精细的小表情小眼神，太舒服了）但是一点儿有意思的情节故事都没有，才认识一个月就要跟人跑？！Poor thing, doomed in this life. 电影院里全是“唐铁粉”，旁边坐着一个特意请假来的（不让买隔座位的票！）结束后，字幕都出完了，后面还有人意犹未尽地巴拉巴拉唐家屯回顾呢（等得清洁小哥无可奈何的）。（5/20）
角度还挺好，默片到有声电影也是new era。没想到之前的默片还有现场奏乐。小火车的感情戏剪了显得最后的告别有点突兀
打个怪、结识两个新人用了一整篇，对比浅草篇的丰富，给人一种世界观骤然缩小的感觉。
好家伙，就是把原来的TV版合并了一下，我还以为出新的了呢…⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
鬼灭之刃真的是近几年来最好看的动漫，不接受反驳！男主性格真的很温柔很温柔，面对👻们的残暴攻击并不是一味的武力反击，而是愿意倾听他们的故事，化解他们的怨念。整个动漫主题很热血但又能传播正确的三观，鬼灭yyds！
