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.
抱歉，我只看到了34分钟。该影片的主人公是那么的乏味 尬笑 自愚 ……
11.3 呜呜呜，袁公就这么被抓走了！！！为什么天书奇谈没有续集！！！曾经中国的文化工作者真的在很勇敢的嘲讽权贵，那样的岁月再也没有了。
我们号称是有五千年文明的国度，但实际上我们却是最不懂得尊重传统文化的。在许多我们自己文化上的保留与传承甚至远远不如日韩。看看现在的国产动画，要么低龄幼稚，要么哈美哈日，实在令人唏嘘。
国产动画片里的经典，百看不厌。让现在的动画制作者汗颜。看了这个才知道，技术不是一部好片子的保障。看看人SOUTH PARK 不照样好看
袁公的良苦用心被狐狸们偷袭，变成人形下山骗人。天赋异禀的蛋生得到袁公的青睐，精心培育，用心传授。108个法式是超越孙悟空72变的存在，造福人类，引导人性却是不变的责任。蛋生大战妖精的时候，老百姓是收益的；各级老爷们想得却是聚宝盆和美女，与民不聊生形成鲜明的对比。蛋生的存在是打破僵局，开创新的生机和局面；但不得不被天庭惩罚的袁公，在天之灵也一定痛心疾首。看似很简单的剧情，包罗万象，深邃客观，深表赞同，强烈推荐。
中国传统故事的代表写法，有点像是西游记番外篇，以前可能可以看，但现在再这样写是不行了，像中间部分两只狐狸偷了天书后大段简单重复的舞蹈画面，模式化的台词，有情节无细节的场景，也许它曾经是里程碑，但新时代有新起点，中国特色的动漫创作，到底要怎样才能让人眷恋呢？ps.剧中的建筑画面不错
没看懂想表达啥，话说大house做airbnb简直完美
“我最喜欢鸟儿～”诸如此类
狐狸精长得简直可啪，小孩儿看真的没问题吗？不是谁拿到天书就会法术的，你必须十分努力才能看起来毫不费力，这其实是个励志故事。
一本从头到尾四个人的电影，到后来劫匪的一句话提醒了女主，过段了结了丈夫，再嫁祸给劫匪，其实半个小时就足够了。

重看反而看到了很多槽点 修复之后高清和重饱和度反而失去了味道
肤浅的我需要一个超长解析～ 婚姻中还是需要互相尊重！很多细节细思极恐…
皇帝小儿：小屁孩，国家竟归屁孩管，不动脑子瞎胡闹。
🎯主题主旨：
“蛋生抬头，但见白云弥漫，苍天茫茫”末尾的纪录片看到剧本最后一句破大防了，蛋生和袁公的师徒之情，金风玉露一相逢，便胜却人间无数。最终袁公被押上天庭，只给蛋生留下造福苍生的责任。天庭、袁公与蛋生、狐妖、官员、百姓几个立场刻画得入木三分。说句题外话，《刺客伍六七》很有这部作品的神韵，戏剧化的动作和语言，滑稽的举止，脸谱化（褒义）的人物，从传统戏曲一脉相承，这才是国漫特色啊！！
这是一部十分强大的动画片，什么时候中国动画能重振旗鼓。
