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.
倒叙的花束 没什么偶遇 退场的人就别再遇见了 那些记忆里的人 偶尔想起也罢 平静的偶然想起 灯光呼应和明暗的阳台都是不错的光景
不太喜欢叙事的顺序，这哪里只是稍微想起一些！
刚上的时候朋友力荐，还被拉去八景岛水族馆巡礼，剧情也被透了个遍。想着等出dvd再看吧，没想到阴差阳错的久违去看了一场creephyp，ナイトオンザプラネット的现场很有电影感，尾崎大大的关于ex的念白，硬生生把我听哭了，忍不住还是跑去电影院看了！很喜欢倒述的形式，和最后一场伴着ex达令弹唱相遇一起舞蹈的戏。可惜因为剧情被透得差不多+做好了另版花束的准备，竟没有想象中的那么戳我。可能是我也没有遇到过如此合拍的恋人吧。松居大悟真是creephyp真爱粉啊。
有点颠覆常规认知里男女身份、性格的形象。尽管故事线属于照生，但小叶才是恋情中主动推进的那方，挽回、热恋、告白、初识，小叶是迈出第一步的人，也是最先决定走的那一个。性格里主动热烈的一面和世俗小女生对于理想情人的传统需求在她的身上共存，真实而灵动。沙莉太好太可爱了！！！（虽然个人本片的大泪点其实是在不断回溯中老年爱侣失而复归那里，唉，回头看看，过去尽是些快乐的日子😭
是我想要的普通be爱情故事，回家路上单曲循环ナイトオンザプラネット脑子里都是夜晚商店街的跳舞转圈圈。永濑正敏主演了贾木许的「神秘列车」，一些必要的联系。
“给BL打掩护”？他妈的这就BL了?这就爆炸了?这还是🌈 片?
虐死我了π_π跟花束有一拼了
3.5星。更加轻盈的爱情版《薄荷糖》的倒叙模式，没有那么强烈的宿命感，只是一段关系的过程，从结束开始倒推，结尾呈现两人当下的现状有些落俗了，停留在剧场里就好。
看后思绪万千，身边却没有人可以分享，捂在心里，越发酵后劲越大。
生日这天串起来的回忆 确实只是稍微想起一些的感觉 但是还挺喜欢的 有几个片段我真的反复拖拽进度条反复看 池松壮亮和沙莉两个人好合拍！演技都好舒服 （最后凌晨阳台上和屋敷对话的沙莉真的绝美！！
好细腻好细腻，暗恋时的小心翼翼，热恋时每一天都那么的开心，一起晨练、一起发疯、一起大笑，其实也并没有真正忘记你...
许多人拿这部电影和《花恋》对比，我认为这部要更真实一些，以后肯定会再刷的，虽然不知道和谁（想着以后没事的时候也去开出租车，不知道去哪就让乘客为自己选择目的地）。
寻常生活中不寻常的巧合让两人相遇，不寻常的意外又让两人分开，平淡终归于平淡
看过一本生日主题的小说集，正在写一个生日主题的故事，在观看过程中意外发现这是一部生日主题的电影。
从恋情终极回溯到花火诞生初始，以某个日期为坐标以年为单位倒叙，场景一个比一个美好深刻，却越看越难过。我还是无法参透他们分手的原因，火花消逝的点也许在其他不是生日的普通日子里，也许在每次随性起舞时就已埋下了伏笔。
池松壮亮表演品质稳定。真的是自然体。伊藤在这部里表现得也不错。
而那些寻常又不平凡的拨动人心的细节
很好松居大悟你挽回我了。一上来车内外空间的利用和声音处理就不错，街景拍的有几分贾木许的神韵。剧本简单也扎实，拍出了不少可爱的日常（浇完花再浇浇自己，每天朝着路边的神明拜拜）。超级喜欢出租车确认心意的那场戏，车内到车外，自动车门、灯光和城市风景，调度拉满，还有些幽默在里面。
剧中两个人的工作，一个是做现场灯光的，一个是出租车司机，多么的诱人。
稍微想起一些的生日回忆组成的爱情倒序，由分别到热恋到相知相识到心动，可以看到爱情纯粹的样子，池松壮亮跳舞的样子也完全看不出是业余的。
