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.
父母要学会放手，孩子成年了，要把自己定位改为咨询顾问和支持者。孩子再傻叉，知三当三，也只能她自己碰壁才有体会。至于孩子，尽可能忍耐一下妈妈的烦吧，毕竟也烦不了多少年了。
女主的性格非常鲜明，强势病娇自私自恋自负情绪化混合出很有记忆点的人设
最后一幕的台词让我“卧槽”出声，病娇真的太野了叭
人生不是叠buff，真是这样我宁可孤家寡人一辈子了
真的震惊到了🌝
徐帆老师贡献出教科书演技 对着镜子给自己剃头的场景非常震撼 看完环顾四周 想到生活里的种种烦恼 梳理一下也没什么了 全家都要按时体检 不舒服及时就医 最重要的 多和家人在一起
喜欢女主的眼睛，明明很多光。她们两人接吻的时候好温柔啊！
好厉害啊阴沉自恋的jk是怎样的，如果是这样的话也不失可爱吧。虽然这么说，这大概是一部需要观众努力忍住不爽的电影：小爱的自恋、自私和横冲直撞的性格太遭人恨，但她的个性也令旁观者喜爱。她身上发生的青春风暴，家人对此一概不知。——青春是什么呢？青春是因为自己痛苦，所以故意或无意地让他人痛苦，是不知道拿欲望和破坏欲如何是好，是搞砸一切，是搞砸后还有余地。（另外，女导演好啊！不会刻意去拍女性身体，我看下来很舒适。）
连续看了两部山田杏奈，有感染力也有杀气。片中后期围巾造型+眼神太杀人了！芋生悠也不错！
《关于我妈的一切 》与2021年的《了不起的老爸》一样，可以轻而易举触碰到观众内心的柔软，因为父子情、母女情是普罗大众都无法搁置的羁绊。但是《关于我妈的一切》的一切都有点过了火候了。徐帆的表演自然功底自然没话说，但是她对于母亲季佩珍这个角色用力过猛了一些，倒是丈夫和弟弟这样两个本可以继续深挖的角色显得轻描淡写戛然而止。赚眼泪的煽情场面不在少数，但更多的是依靠台词、表演、甚至音乐这样的视听语言形成一种条件反射式的刻意。当片尾字幕出现灯光亮起观众冷静下来之后，会觉得《关于我妈的一切》的一切如果能够做过减法，压压火候，可能会好得多。
疯逼！完全！哈哈哈哈哈但完全理解疯逼，因为我也是疯逼！
有认真看 哈哈哈 女主确实好可怕 怎么可以这样 进展也让人觉得惊奇 哈哈
“谁让你装了啊！年纪轻轻的就不能活得积极点！”
也太温柔了吧，女二，女一你何德何能睡到这样的妹妹
我太爱芋生悠了，她真的是越看越好看，好棒的温柔病弱受！！！
疯批爱好者心动。女二明明知道自己的需求但完全为别人牺牲奉献。男主也假装不知道继续把女二当成救命稻草供奉在神坛。感觉加了这个buff病弱的人设更丰满了。最后女主找到眼里的光。女二正视自己的需求不再病态牺牲奉献。男主摆脱原生家庭。少见的三角完全he
这也太水的剧情了，徐帆演老师时不像老师，当然她的演技是好的，但是只有演滚刀肉时才能特别好。
不得不说，爱酱最后冲出教室去找美雪的镜头真的帅炸了！什么叫“我们再睡一次吧”？请多多doi好吗？🤤🤤ps:西村才是真正的橘外人
你好，“李焕英”，送你一朵小红花，不要管我了，我才能长大。你说，我快死了，还能管你多久，你要听话，你妈还是你妈。
仪把小美的叛逆、倔强和孝顺都演的很好，而且随着情节发展，有明显的成长递进。
