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.
无论题材，故事，音乐，演员，画面，都是我喜欢的调调，梅拉尼·罗兰自导自演，女子版《飞越疯人院》。
身为双女主之一的导演，展现的电影画面真的唯美。
色调真美。社会结构性压迫。总有天真男性问“为什么世界各地各个时期大师都是男人居多，这总能说明女不如男吧！”当你稍微出色一点或者与众不同就会被关进疯人院or当女巫烧了，更别谈找到资源协助自己冲击目标，搁变形金刚也只敢乖乖当一辆车。
表达了对父权压迫的控诉，就是表现得似乎有些生硬直白了。
情感细腻，画面摄影很美。可能是这几年女权电影太多了，纵然有太多压抑情绪却觉得我已看过无数这种压抑。
不太欣赏，男尊女卑的社会，可怜的女主！！！
可能类似题材的看过了，就感受不是很大，拍的太压抑，也不懂为啥老拍写赤裸的镜头，甚至有点反感，整部片从开始到结局也什么起伏，护士长没跟她走想不通，女主一直被打压最后还隐居了？类似题材的拉楔特就拍的节奏还有起伏就很好，虽然也是个爽剧，但观感比这部好太多了，就感觉是部很多年前拍的电影，结果定眼一看，2021年拍的。。。
有点害怕 不知道是不是只有女人才会害怕这种禁锢 一些窒息中夹杂着一些美感
法国女人长得简直五颜六色的！文艺份很足，摄影很棒！女导演手法细腻，渐入佳境！
画面非常唯美，感觉故事没有讲好，有些俗套，但值得一看。
女人如果拥有超出男权社会所能掌控的力量，那她就一定会被打上“疯子”、“极端”的烙印，你知道的，剥夺一个人话语权最有效的方式就是让她做的一切都变成偏激的、没有理智的。
铺得不够 结尾升华得有点勉强了 但还是值得一看
我真的很喜欢老宅子里、家庭成员有不能探讨的秘密这种故事，看预告觉得美不胜收，正片堪称累死设计，多余的主角像个导游，看似与价值疏离但却是进入故事、缝合意义的关键，感觉是一个Disney没有叙事野心、重在设计和舞台气氛的作品，资产可服务于乐园小镇的商铺软装，那几间房就够发挥了，狂欢性质的花街也可以马利加家族巡游的方式补充，因为音乐简直经典
3.5分，沒想到是第二女主當導演，恍惚是真人真事改編，19世紀末法國女人還無緣無故（或者說非我族類之“標準”），送入不人道的精神病院, 女人無法掌握他們的命運，是父親，是醫生，懲罰她們的是體制，是所謂的假科學，簡直是等同中世紀把無辜女性女巫化
画面非常唯美，感觉故事没有讲好，有些俗套，但值得一看。
实际上不止女人，特别在那个年代，几乎所有人都被人为的定义了。一旦有人跳出自己身份所带来的框架，就会被打上疯子，精神病的标签。整个社会就像无形的枷锁束缚着所有人，为的是稳定的社会结构，但它只服务于少数人。
一家人都有魔法的时候排挤她，合照都不带她，结果小姑娘还一心为家，又受气又挨骂，太气人了，这难道不是樊胜美吗？一人受苦，全家升天。
【Film français 251】 C’est pas un hôpital psychiatrique,c’est un cage.
设定不错故事太弱，请别说它像动画版百年孤独..Dos Orugitas真好听
压抑，背景到情节到色调都压迫灵魂。虽然有些地方的色彩觉得还能做的更好，但是大体的色彩都很棒，构图很喜欢。另外两位主演都好漂亮好有气质，美女
