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.
这部片6.6分绝对太低了，怎么也有7.6以上，给五星是为了拉高一下平均分哈哈。舒服的小品，除了前面台词有点啰嗦，其他都挺好，四星跑不掉。
剧本挺好的，小而美，没有性爱场面的约炮爱情成功故事，很工整，小金句很多，完全按照节拍表来的
我得再看五遍电话才能把姐姐在我心里的形象从这无聊片子里解救出来
故事比较老套，拍得比较平庸。但整体感觉还可以。
这分数也太低了吧，起码有7啊！两个主演都很甜，演技过关，这不已经吊打一大堆国产爱情电影了吗？？？
励志典范，哪怕看不懂橄榄球，依然为影片传达出的力量感到激情澎湃。
几处喝酒谈话的部分还是很有意思的，以及那些透露爱意的眼神让人印象深刻，她很特别，特别坦诚直爽，她也特别简单想要爱，幸好他们遇见了且又再遇见，这样的缘分恐怕现实中不会更多，现实中的情感更加脆弱，不受编剧的控制，而是需要两个人的努力。P.S.：为什么韩国人可以把那兑水的二锅头喝的那么有滋有味，无解。
孙锡久太🉑️了。全钟瑞太🉑️了。
挺好的 每个人都善良又可爱。嗯 应该属于科幻电影
奇奇怪怪可可爱爱
男人是，女人是被爱着爱着就爱了。
2021.12.19 上线真的快啊。。11.24上映12.17上线了 中规中矩吧 全钟瑞演技是有的 就是不是很高产 上次的电话又是20年的了转眼过了一年才出了新作 怎么说呢 还是开放的韩国人 而且是先把恋爱后的所有事都做了但就是没有恋爱 很甜吗？也没有吧 毕竟这片更多的在于交谈 一开始双方也是抱着玩玩的心态一起的 后面才正式恋爱 男主也像个工具人一样 出版社的前辈这天刚睡完第二天就说要订婚了 后面和男友闹别扭又把男主叫来睡一次。。真就男人是女王的玩具是吧 全钟瑞这个发型和发色我不是很喜欢 还是燃烧里最纯了
有意思的，尤其是每次喝酒的谈话都好有意思。
整个电影都是靠全姐和孙锡久撑起来，剧情和叙事真的很普通。
约炮罗曼史。全中瑞是个宝藏演员！孙锡久还是更适合在平面上看😂
不要靠近男人，会变得不幸（不是）剧情都是啥啊，只是为了看欧尼，欧尼也太美了呜呜呜呜呜
实在是很喜欢两个主演，尤其是全钟瑞，面馆吃邻桌剩下的牛肉这种事情我也做过类似的，作为都市爱情轻喜剧来说就是很好非常好。
巧了 刚好是春节看的。有幸欣赏到孙锡久的屁屁和大腿肌
感觉故事有点儿太平了。。。最燃的地方不够燃。。。但是很真诚，很能感受到这种坚持改变命运的伟大。
不过都市爱情剧情给出了 现实恋爱的观感
