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.
a-okay啦.
I'm an islander, and No Man Is An Island. 2021年的最后再来看依旧哭唧唧，依旧为这部作品所鼓舞，依旧最喜欢那首汇成同一个旋律的信仰之歌，我们如此不同却又如此相通。
西方的文化战略极其成功，明明伪善邪恶到骨子里，却伪装出一副世界大同的景象。片子越好，越令人作呕。若是数年前看到这个，一定会被洗脑，只可惜已经吞下红丸，不可能回得去了。
这部电影证明了我自己是一个卓越的女性。我的宝贝儿会是那个他吗？
自古以来这种事情发生向来是苦难与兴奋并行的。
好像南老师和里老师在讲台上谈情论性，势要作惊人之语，却处处暴露出冬烘的隔靴搔痒。只有第一回合最后被扑倒那一瞬间才算搔到了本质。
可惜了好题材，个人感觉应该对标《年轻气盛》啊，结果立意和故事层次比那部差太远了，本质上还是流水线工业化片子吧，落入了爱与拯救的俗套结尾。感觉生活中不可能有男主这个类型的男性，全程一到关键时刻就直接跳过，本来以为是阉割过了，结果到最后突然来了几分钟大尺度，女主正面全裸的勇气值得赞赏！为表鼓励加一星。好好锻炼，争取60岁还能拥有不用花钱的满意sex！
OBC原卡的官摄太好看了，当全场灯光变暗，Welcome to the Rock的前奏响起，演员们走出来的时候，我直接就哭出来！原来五月份录的时候是有观众的，我一直以为是空场录的，这是回宽街的第一批观众。CFA多么诚心，感谢让我拥有OBC，五星点赞！
属于阔老太花钱哄自己玩 怎么还有人被感动到？如果是免费的我就稍微感动一下下
上次看这种单一空间两个人物周旋的电影还是《穿裘皮的维纳斯》，这两部探索性与欲的电影剧本都很强。更喜欢这部电影的选角，两个演员的表演都非常细腻而有层次。一边逃避，一边逼近，一边顾左右而言他，一边深入。最喜欢两个人开头的寒暄，高潮还是自己给的以及结尾来自女性的凝视。再次感叹男主有种古典的完美，好想重金买个俩小时玩玩！

恐怖主义袭击的同时、世界上另一处地方展示出的人性的光芒。百老汇的舞台能力已经完全驾轻就熟。不过美国人的编剧真的是...过度热衷夹塞政治立场，同性恋种族歧视黑人枪支女性主义...所有的故事都非得要融合热点式的见缝插针地来一腿（个人真不欣赏这样的编剧手法，立场再正确再硬也不欣赏这样来编剧。显眼的突出点反而像一种对这个故事本身的破坏；又好像不那么写、就很难出内容了似的）。
elegant, beautiful.很真诚坦率的一部作品。
“矛盾很有趣。”

看不下去，忍受不了古典音乐舞台剧的调调，墨迹造作看着舞台表演的脱离现实的夸张矫情感到恶心，看了三十多分钟看不下去了，然后有600多个自觉高级的小资在哪里跪拜鼓吹附庸风雅中获得自己正当时，自己存在于高雅的这个圈子里，获得有知识有想象的文化归属地位，有品位的高等人的自我确认标签，无异于圈内自嗨，让人感到那种中世纪贵族故作风雅的那种恶心感。
中国目前日渐保守的文化土壤上，这样性积极叙事的文本获得不少好评，可以认为是对性解放和对自己身体探索的渴望，也可以认为是用porn视角凝视里奥获得愉悦，毕竟如果使用镜像原则的话，我相信评价不会很好。
可以作为妈的多元宇宙补充了，比前者更真实一些，“不要假装你是年度最佳母亲了，你根本不在乎我生活的真相”。男女主各自完成了人物弧光，艾玛汤普森这么大年纪还漏点，未经修饰的身体与那代人。
做只鸡做只鸭别做情人，花钱买的至少可爱迷人。
感觉看了一篇音乐剧版的特稿，关于信仰的小段落最打动我
