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.
色彩饱和度很高，情景剧，时长太长了！更喜欢蔡明的小品，全程都在想蔡明…
“我亲爱的人类主仆，唯有死亡这事我们平等”
让热内标志性的美术设计贯穿始终，有趣又养眼
年龄大了 看这种慢悠悠的日本文艺片觉得有点看不下去了
设定很新颖，但是剧情着实有点无聊，可能是我看不太懂法式幽默吧，还有几个家居机器人挺可爱的哈哈哈哈哈哈
剧情真的很弱，略显无聊。整个片子很“日本味”，呈现出一种隐忍的日式的哀苦：因灾难而死的人、突然自我了断的人、承受他人离世而不可自拔的人、明明在身边却充满隔阂的人...日式电影总喜欢呈现人的软弱与距离感。演员都是好演员。女主的衬衫是件很便宜的男款，我有件同款，女同喜欢男衬衫系列？（误）
分了两天才看完，科幻背景，画面华丽。但是故事性一般，不是太吸引人。荒诞喜剧片。
最后一次长谈聊起Metalica，连CD选集都像不曾存在过；听见被海浪冲走的他喊我才知道他没有忘记我的名字，离海15公里的地方已经听不见海盐的声音，与父亲的回忆只剩一场错过的生日旅行，会唱奶奶教的歌谣哪怕听不懂意思；一个人的旅行和道别，猫咪钱包始终无法归还；在你们眼中她是近在身边反而更遥远的存在，在我眼中她无所不在……又一部311地震创伤录，B面故事的切入角度其实不太好，但最后的动画走马灯挺厉害
很棒的电影。想不到是波兰拍得。我们中国什么时候也能拍出这样的电影
感觉拍的有点碎，大乱炖。但很有意思，值得一看。这样的居家机器人请给我来一打
政治宣传作品，跟现在波兰现在偷俄罗斯天然气一样，西方婊子又当又立
正反两方，优劣势的反转也来得太猝不及防了吧。开始，从舆论到民情再到司法，都占尽优势，对于怎么棍棒底下生转折的交代，也实在太不充分，可片子却又能在努力营建却不至于有信服力的阴霾氛围中，冗长拖至160分钟。
3.5 剧本扎实情绪密集的波兰学院派，向观众抛出了一团关于权力与暴力如何在媾和中消灭正义与公平、体制如何肆无忌惮施压去磨灭个体的精神与诉求、犬儒如何成为帮凶去隐瞒和篡改良心的黑暗世界。在记录历史和启示现实上这种激烈的纪实有一定作用，当然作为电影，它的揭露沉重得太密不透风，并没有留给观者一个喘息的出口。
可以变成建筑学生的必看电影了，画面和色彩搭配很舒适，很法国的一部电影，但是剧情还是比较好猜…中途睡过去了…小成本电影还不错啦…
无论晴天还是阴天我都在想念你，想念属于你的味道，你的声音，来回播放舍不得删掉的留言，在梦醒后希望你还在。不敢直视的眼神，为真奈调频的波长，欲言又止的告白，堇的镜头只对真奈充满爱意。有着许多留白的双向暗恋……像海啸一样剧烈，又终归大海平静。
强大的人工智能与人类共存，有地位比人类低的服务型的，也有驯化人类的地位更高的，人类肥肝太🤢了，真的是瑟瑟发抖，还有那个在窗外飘来飘去特别有眼力见的智能广告😨
把未來被機器控制的生活描述得很有趣。有焚書跟莊周夢蝶的討論，東方色彩。
如果在世纪初还可以，现在看还没有现实魔幻。
一口气看了两遍，的确拍的并不是很好看，有点太闷太淡了，但是其中的小细节以及人物情感和塑造，我实在好喜欢。无论是岸井雪乃的悲伤，小美波的调率，餐厅老板的温柔，都太唯美了。人应该学会告别。
导演的片基本都是这个调的，静下心来看也还行，还是最喜欢前作《四月の永い夢》后面几部感觉缺少灵性
