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.
放下助人情结，尊重他人命运；幸好我们铁已经去世，不用再受这个气了。可是我们骑好惨啊，辛辛苦苦练了那么久的开门也没当上至尊法师，反观别人是有手就能开，编剧什么仇什么怨。
尽管所有的惊喜在没上映前就已经被透得精光，但还是很容易被很多点戳到，理性轻而易举就被感性打败。不过相对来说，这也是部被宇宙和情怀绑架的电影，随意到无法忽视它的种种问题。“能力越大责任越大”在这个稀烂的故事里重现，除了任务性质地安插彩蛋，却再也感受不到这句话的重量了，牺牲剧作逻辑和角色魅力而换来所谓的“成长”，让这句话的意味也变得莫名撕裂。感动过后，就更加记起了前两代的好。临近结尾小小cue了迈尔斯，突然就笑了，《蜘蛛侠：平行宇宙》仍然是这几年更懂蜘蛛侠的电影。
主题上非常贴近当下：网暴，泼脏水，以及自私性对“道德（圣母）”的贬损……绿魔的价值观，再次引起了很多人的共鸣：讲道德，不如讲暴力
必须要说观影的兴奋感不亚于复联4，因为如我们所知，平行宇宙的创作基于创作以外更为复杂的商业因素，所以当无人不期待的场景与对话真的被建立起来之时，自然也无人不为之喝彩。但话说回来，电影质量如何？刺激足够之余，也许并不是最好的蜘蛛侠电影——荷兰虫三部曲着力刻画的始终是小Peter作为青少年的思维状态，大事不糊涂但小事总能惹出大岔子。A boy needs to grow up as a man，这种「你的决定定义你的成长」的关键性才是我们看到蜘蛛侠故事「责任」定义时感受到的沉甸甸的分量，而英雄远征和英雄无归里，他犯的错都过于轻浮，而且代价也太过，太过惨重了。靠着近乎作弊的阵容才将将完成的叙事，大概也证明了，我们真的已经远离那个一步一个脚印的时代了。
蜘蛛侠每次因的“善良”引发了许多灾难。就不能学学奇异博士吗？道家讲究“顺其自然”
的确是who is Almodóvar的水平。
这么多年的情怀集中起来消费了一把，人物和剧情的突兀也就可以原谅了。最感触的竟是两位老蜘蛛的岁月沧桑，果然我也是中年人了。结尾这个写法，可能以后再也见不到Tom Holland的蜘蛛侠了（当然另外两位也是），还是有点伤感的。作为所有蜘蛛侠的告别演出是不错的，但资本应该不这么想。
从奇异博士轻松答应蜘蛛侠的请求开始就宣告了对逻辑的抛弃，纯当爽片来看，尤其是三虫聚首，实在是令人兴奋至极。最动人的瞬间，是婶婶临死前，依然告诉帕克选择爱和帮助而不是仇恨，对比起本片的讨论区，真是莫大的讽刺。
太糊弄了。一切都是为了三蛛同框，其他都是不管不顾，随便搞搞。
我是土狗我好爱看❤️❤️❤️！情怀满满的Closure之作，节奏明快，三蛛同框共同退敌给Tom Holland 的蜘蛛侠系列画上了圆满的句号。对我这种看遍漫威所有电影以及看过三代所有蜘蛛侠系列的人来说无比舒爽！两个半小时眨眼就过完全不觉得冗长！我和闺蜜都觉得比今年的新蝙蝠侠好看！上次像这样被漫威感动还是复联End Game。（搞笑台词：“复联是什么？是一支乐队吗？😂😂😂

the amazing spiderman终于救了spiderman的女朋友。然后两人问出了著名的雷军问题，我凌乱了。
With great power comes great responsibility这句话一定是每版蜘蛛侠必不可少的，这一版以这样的方式呈现点题了，属于迷影时刻！
三虫同框情怀牌打得好！终于get到“赞总和她的小娇妻”这对cp的萌点了，可惜官方拆cp了哈哈哈
再精良的特效都拯救不了弱智的剧情，三代蜘蛛这傻逼巨婴的设定很让人无语
奇异博士打不过蜘蛛侠，萎了，多一星纯粹是给托比蜘蛛侠
期望越大，失望越大！打斗不尽兴，剧情太儿戏。
结尾很心痛，看后续怎么处理了……
很符合预期的超级英雄电影了，不带脑子想剧情能看个爽，这也是我不怎么看超英电影的原因
