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.
这结局真的烂到不行。以前虽然谜语人，但非常讲逻辑。现在逻辑都不要了，你仿佛能听到导演在说“累了累了，不玩了，赶紧结束”然后拽着观众撒腿就跑。以前是故事里穿插谜语人设定，这部后一小时是疯狂抛谜语人设定再穿插点故事，叙事断崖式坍塌，整个一莫名其妙。穿插旧剧场版的画面来回忆，但还是掩盖不住故事的稀碎。
保持95年tv版的评价会比较稳妥：很可怕 不好玩（一星给松任谷由实那首被翻唱的歌 一星给被虐的khara staff们（以及nhk的纪录片导演
我最喜欢NTR了，明日香已经变成剑介的形状了，哈哈哈哈
通过各种巨象化和分形制造神迹，最后一切归零，回到起点，从全宇宙落点到个人的内心。淀真嗣可以说是最反类型的主角，但也可以说是最类型的主角。期待大银幕的视觉饕餮。
对于老EVA粉丝来说，这是真正的人类补完计划，补完了我的一个梦。看完的感受就是满足，十分满足，没有任何想吐槽的地方。这就是成人化的剧情对成人后的观众的温柔。面对纷乱的世界，很难不开始理解碇源堂的选择——只要能与相爱的人再会，毁灭世界、精神大同有何不可？而结局包容和谅解了一切：只要相爱，就能与相爱的人再会。
抽象。鲜红。蓝色海啸的灵魂物质化……但为什么最终还是归于一家三口啦。唉，总是 最累倔强的明日香
话说絮絮叨叨，历尽千辛万苦，整个故事就是要讲述一个男的要长大成人就是要摆脱父母的禁锢，然后什么初恋、梦中情人、基友都不重要，大波妹才是王道！
不知道还有多少人能透过那一帧一秒的画面与对话体悟到庵野老贼“不落而又窠臼”“装不持而又辞辛苦”“明厌而又不厌透”，坚持到今天。
谁不是被迫匆匆长大的呢？……
我讨厌充满这种人的世界
看得出来痞子的20年成长哈哈哈哈，做了一回温柔的大人呢
这二十年可不是白瞎的，钟表时间/心血凝缩于作品里。至少能够以“燃烧的经费”呈现出来-动画作画的（多义词）「细部」。出品非常锭源堂（正宗）。这里的“创世纪”我认为能够比肩《真心为你》。很希望能够在大屏幕上看一次。［00:37:07］“绫波丽”：我会再来。
这是你是人类的明确证明
为这部作品和角色们投入了太多的感情，影片结束时难免百感交集。再见了，Evangelion。再见了，我的青春期。
全程懵逼就算了，但看到碇源渡坐电车理疗内心独白被雷到。总之，再见了！我要去看……蓝宝石之谜了
さようなら、全のエヴァンゲリオン。
看完心里有种莫名的失落，一是因为等来的不是心里想要的结局，二是随着系列的完结中二过的自己却还没有真正成长，有种朋友都已经成熟走向远方自己却还留在原地的感觉
eva完结了，痞子完成了他这一生最重要的任务，再见
完全粉丝向，把所有能想到的货色一股脑儿端出了，像live一样的狂欢。
