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.
前半段节奏还行，后半段就节奏就开始有点崩了，其实这也是前几部的经典问题之一，编导（对不起了古沢良太大神）叙事功力还是差了点，不能巧妙地讲完来龙去脉。剧情依然老套，但是就当每年见见老朋友也不错了。
安妲己就是可爱可爱超可爱，黑泽痴汉属性更明显了。为爱发电。
但是真的很甜
没有主轴、像是没有意外冲突喜剧笑点的流水账
都知道反转了，但还是愿意看下去，这种动漫版的夸张表演我也十分喜欢，希望一直拍下去。
2022 #34。端午假期一早起来看完的电影。从剧集大火到后面的四部剧场版——运势，浪漫，公主，英雄。中间有演员“翻车”，有演员离世，而英雄篇终于给整个系列划上了一个大结局。这次的故事太简单了一些，虽然没有猜到全部内容，但是有几个特写给得太刻意了你就知道这里会有猫腻，期待10年后还能再有一集剧场版，马耳他看起来真美好，不知道此生有机会去打卡取景地吗。
这个系列就是你明知会反转，所以怎么反转得精彩才是重点，这部里没太大亮点。有点消费情怀的意思。
……这，可能霓虹的思维模式我真的get不到吧。
其实剧情都能猜到 但为了活在台词里的Star加一星 故事里的他们还记得她 真好
这个系列其实面向的是具备二次元逻辑的观众群。

恭喜江口洋介追星大成功！花了几十亿终于加入主角后援团！
有点疲劳，但是就像功课一样，还是会继续支持下去吧。这次的大boss带不动啊，反转都没什么激情。依然怀念Jesse和Star,至少他们还活在电影中啊!
嗯，这个套路以后别再出了。虽然明星很多也都很喜欢。
虽然这个系列越来越强行抓马越来越少乐趣，但是看到麻酱笑得龇牙咧嘴的样子还是觉得很开心。
感受到了日影字幕组的凋零，出片好久才有字幕，真就这年头想看点东西越来越费劲，而且光学英语不够，还得学日语。其次这个片怎么会有大量AV系镜头语言，你老怼脸干什么，让我找演技呢？没有啊。部分follow镜头竟然还晃，瑕疵太多暴露出前期拍摄镜头的混乱，缺少关键信息的特写镜头。这剪辑师看着也不懂戏。演员表演起幅落副的点没剪干净。但重点就是戏点必须得控制，多一秒就能从精准变成尬。
彩蛋1是警贼合作亦或杀向欺诈师社团东京本部，彩蛋2是2.5次元音乐剧《鸟兽戏画》再次诈骗成功。
不反转就不是达子了 一如既往的精彩！他们才是行业英雄！期待明年看到系列新作！！！
虽然对古泽良太的期待是期待他写出“本格诈欺”，而不在一直依靠新登场的人物身份反转来反转整个故事。但这个系列形成了自己的可爱宇宙，在这个宇宙里JC和star可以一直活着，赤星的斯德哥尔摩综合征永远治不好。
