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.
要是画风变了，我会以为是迪士尼。三年级小学生创造智能可接收指令AI，确实很梦幻。
被摔跤的作画种草，考虑到剧本大河内，还是放低期待。看完之后，果然。
有幸提前看到，故事很好！超青春，让人热泪盈眶了。片名再吸引人一些会比较好。
妈妈也很蒂啊！！这个就值得多打一星，拼命研究努力在全是男人的圈层出彩和争位！
让ai理解指令比让它执行指令更难，以及十一区的小盆友果然都是怪物的说，那么小就弄出一个自带升级学习功能的强人工智能了天。
电影最喜欢前半小时，后面有歌曲但是最后收尾太仓促，就莫名其妙Abuela婆婆和自己的孩子Bruno和好了，最后Mirabel的天赋和Abuela一样，没有特别的魔法能力，但能掌管好整个房子，打破了传统理念。
青少年童话，歌声萌萌哒，逻辑不能太追究。
一言不合就唱歌，日本人到底多喜歡唱歌機器人（。這些AI科學家隨便把一個機器人丟到校園裡測試這毫無邏輯的行為讓人一言難盡，但反正重點是青春片，主角群的角色塑造倒是不錯不會讓人討厭，最大的優點還是音樂不錯聽吧，比某V唱歌機器人唱得好多了（。
迪士尼60周年的作品质量可谓一般。
虽然各种俗套和无脑热血，但还挺好看，不过比《夏娃的时间》差不少。7.5分
近来日本动画对于人工智能主题的理解和表达真是越来越粗陋狭隘了，AI只被作为一种符号标签的模板展现，导致逻辑愚蠢、行为刻板，吉浦康裕的格局在此远不如前，因此我本也多不想。不过从校园青春片的角度看，摇晃镜头、音乐剧形式的演出、"AI"作为独立于他人其间用来弥合角色之间情感的身份定位，都还是挺不错的，只能说吉浦康裕没找到最适合自己的东西。但，这里是不是对MacPro2014的恶意有点明显?
脑洞挺大，前面有点尴尬后门有一些感人，有点离谱但也有点好看

日式迪斯尼土味歌舞片～这绚烂的画面用在东奥不好么2333
动与静中选择了动，但又感觉动的不够彻底。ai不会包裹住腹部的水手服正好方便暴甲，酷。
对于未来家居的想象… 感觉就是homekit（x 嘛各种意义上都很勉强。
有点一言难尽…也算看日影常有的时而吐槽出声时而notwithstanding被感动到的体验了：）中途数次为对“幸福”的纯字面痴迷性重复皱眉时又不禁审视起这种批评：为何我（们）会将繁重的伦理框架及对某种反思或警觉的期待在先地加诸一个以AI为主题的故事上？如果把一些表达理解为“设定”，看法是否会相应变化？（当然这与讲故事方面的欠缺是两件事情）这是否说明，即使是在科幻里，某种现实主义倾向也在入侵？或许可同19世纪末Romance vs Realism的辩论相连，也又想起之前看特德姜作品改编时想到的问题。而如果一种“幻想本位”的观看被允许（由此，批评对象是此种观看方式或者文类，而非被置入现制伦理框架的作品），那么本片对于公主童话的看似不合时宜的坚持可谓自洽：它的叙事本身就是传统童话而非现代小说式的。
作画质量非常高，剧情也很有意思，综合来说质量算是中上，不过作品本身算是借鉴了迪士尼歌剧动画的风格，不过唱歌的占比把握的不错，所以全片看下来还挺自然的，不得不说作品中的友谊和青春部分的描写令人向往，虽然结局有些理想化，但作为一部动画来讲算是一个成功的结尾，毕竟越来越卷的现实生活已经够消极了，这种动画的结尾给观众留下一个美好的念想也挺不错的
