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.
前半段是Jo忽明忽暗心理状态的描写，一开始Audrey的出现好像只带来了瞬间的闪光，再回到现实还是狗屎一样的生活。Jo纠结，敏感，躁动，坐立难安，她有严重的ADHD，我感觉我也有点像，最后她还是获得了好心态好状态和勇气，后来才开始了真正的生活。
2后边女主努力还男孩子钱那块真的很感人
期待高了，影片设定很好，也很有诚意，把游戏的内核转化了部分出来，并且制作上很有水准。但是还是比较套路，没有太在意现实的部分，故事就显得比较假。但在网大里应该算是很好的水平了，而且本来针对的就是网大的受众。
说实话，这个特别篇故事并不好看，外加的西班牙舞设定真的很尴尬。本来还觉得新人物欧吉桑蛮有魅力的，但是！加入邻家boy暗恋欧吉桑这个桥段不觉得很怪吗！？全片看完最让我意犹未尽的居然是制作人和大音乐家的暗线，我就问这个什么时候单独做个番外，我想看！
经费不够的感觉，跳舞的场面真的尴尬的我啊！好在亲热的场面还不错。嘻嘻嘻嘻……
没那么精致 但是立意很好 西条高人的壁纸 几年了一直没换过
看的太久了，忘了前期提要了，除了主角其他人都不记得了
上次我觉得这么良心网大好像是谢苗的辛弃疾1162，虽然后面有点无脑。
灿烂的sp 虽然老套但是真的很吃这样的颜值剧情画面 自从去年末认识了bmyz之后现在看这部觉得主角之一已经有代入了😍
你经常会在最后一刻以为你是被眷顾的肖汉，其实你只是那个可怜的光头强
真诚尊重且勇敢，美好的爱情会让彼此变得更加好。
被片名吸引看的没什么感觉，很好
喜欢看一些合家欢的片子，边看边跟女主一起抖腿XD，谢谢有爱在！
一部以电竞为主题的电影。本片从场景和拍摄手法上还原了游戏中的情景，亮点是塑造了以非职业选手为核心的团队，批判在电竞比赛幕后的资本力量。本片故事情节老套，表现手法较为单一，是网络大电影的特性。本片推动的情节主线是每个人各取所需，每人都有各自的想法所有的人都有同样的目的。剧情反转的时候互换游戏ID，让人眼前一亮。但是最后一个人露头，他的动机是什么？非常生硬。因此本片有待提升的地方还有很多。海归富二代也不像富二代，宅男也不像宅男，大叔也不像大叔。尤其是主人公的身份背景并未解释太多，代入感太差。综上所述，我给本片打两颗星，本片最主要的是主题，做的不好的地方就是它的结尾，没有讲完整个故事，仅仅是通过把一场电竞游戏推到了争夺抚养权的这么不怎么高尚的一个主题上。充其量看本片，也就是低于及格线的一个水平。
游戏质感做的挺好，也用了心，不过剧作方面真的问题多多。

恋をすると、こんなに弱くなると言うこと。東谷准太，史上第一甜攻qwq！！磕拉了555555
容易被片名耽误的清新青春爱情与救赎电影，原来挣扎在贫困线上的北欧人民生活也不容易啊。
这是多少误入歧途的孩子一生追寻的梦想。ps.你需要一个平底锅。
