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.
感觉作为50周年纪念作格局有点小了，但故事还是挺打动人心的，有几句台词不错，特别saber关于约定被打破的的台词。完美联动利维斯TV版也是不错的。总体比夏季那部好，但跟01剧场版还差了10个电王。
但前半段的铺垫可能有点长，精彩的在最后半小时哈哈哈哈，记录一下影片中看到的很治愈的一句话：L'attente est parfois tout aussi délicieuse que la chose attendue.等待往往与所等待之物一样美妙。
你奔向了我，带着自由与勇气。”
《假面骑士：超越世代》
激情是年轻人才敢拥有的东西，好羡慕anais的年轻气盛，这样的人生老了才不会后悔吧
回过头来看看，圣刃的团队真的团结啊，目标一致，人心齐。
终于有妈宝双性恋女的角色了！电影未解之谜就是艾米莉这么有趣的人怎么会和丹尼尔结成伴侣…
这部联动应该可以算是令和top的水平了。
整部影片有两个不太理解的地方：1.Anais出于何种原因和Daniel买可乐 2.可能因为我还太年轻，能够接受但无法理解Emilie的选择
前面的叙事有点冗长，两人相遇已经是电影中段了，可能是需要更多的笔墨展现阿娜伊斯混乱无序的力量和野性吧。作家的语言很美，“大胆又羞涩”的形容很贴切。激情是没有教养，不讲道德的。
1.这么多聪明人投入这么多时间精力到这档子事上，而不是务实地做一些管理与服务工作，或是在世界范围沟通交往，难道就是小国的宿命。

看完有一种“政治运作原来如此”的感慨，只是不晓得如今是不是仍按此行事呢？
跨越世纪的重逢，假面骑士世纪登场。能看到初代的后代再演初代，太感动了
谁能想到我在评论了这部电影的几个月后也喜欢上了一个比我大十几岁的女人??
三星半，可说是“政客中的乌托邦”了，通过一系列脏手段去完成一个不脏的人生抱负，实在是太理想化了。尤其后半部分的处理，巧妙地捍卫主角的正面形象，即便这么干会折损作品的魅力。
【B+】上乘的剧场版，作为50周年的纪念作，没有像以往的周年纪念作那样只顾着秀皮套，而是精心写好了一个90分钟的剧本。一号老爷子退役，由儿子继承
优点的话对初代TV还原下了功夫，片尾皮套拍的挺好看，十圣刃yyds！！！
韩国的这种类型片依然那么令人昏昏欲睡。技术上也真的久没啥毛病。剧本上中规中矩，人物却鲜明的丰满，也不知道是编剧写的好，还是演员的功劳。
政治争斗，无不用其极，针锋相对，置之死地而后生，很是精彩。就是语速太快，来不及反应，让人昏昏欲睡。不过主演演技了得，隐喻也十分有趣，很有分量
