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.
所有的其他一切都很好，就是故事真的太老套了。
辛辛苦苦耗费了几个回合把自己队伍的BUFF全部加满，结果因为BOSS的一个技能在一回合内被全部取消，最后还是靠自己队伍里某个角色因为等级稍高一点攻/防/回避/命中中的某一项较其他人更为突出（比如WIT STUDIO的制作）硬扛完了整场BOSS战。我说的是真女神转生以及P系列里一些因为不了解BOSS情况而经常犯此类错误的BUFF信者玩家吗？我想我说的是________
我觉得小畑健和老虚要负主要责任，画面演出真的尽力了
【3.5星】剧情啥也不是，但画得太好可以原谅。
没惊喜，会觉得是因为跳脱出了一切的类型，却还在套路之中，所以不讨好.
一星感谢作画
甘愿手散如沫，
白瞎了这么好阵容，不就是套个《美人鱼》的壳吗
又是部炫技日漫电影。CG技术和新海诚风格人物与故事放在末世东京居然还在讲中二少男少女梦。也就跑酷设定算新鲜点，所以放奈飞流媒体放映是明智的，日漫如这样做下去跟咱们国漫电影快追赶上了！
正如标题，泡泡很美，但泡泡再美始终还是泡泡，一戳就破。
老虚啊，实在不行咱就回去种田吧好吗？你靠卖刀片废品又不是不能过，写这玩意儿是何必呢？
天气之女，作为算计王奈飞的片子你很容易看出钱都砸在哪了，也能看出奈飞模式是怎么无差别内卷任何创作者的，关键它还能和当下同样内卷的日本二次元，臭味相投
关于这次的“神级staff”，只能说小畑健stay，荒木尽力了，泽野发挥一般，老虚属实该滚蛋，要是回天还是搞成这个样子，就应该切腹自尽了。
后半段太着急了，导致整段垮掉。而设定方面，居然在一开始出泡沫的时候我就猜到是美人鱼公主的故事（的倒叙）。
分都给了画面，资金估计也都给了画面吧。剧情讲了个啥稀里糊涂，结尾吧也不懂。燃是蛮燃的，这跑酷也只能出现在动漫里了。
看在有那么两个打动我的片段的份上，勉强三星吧。
泡沫版人鱼公主的故事，画风精良，色彩鲜艳。
上了30以后，突然发现这类少男少女为爱奋不顾身的俗套剧情，能够经久不衰是有原因的。
“毁灭与重生不断上演，从138亿年前的大爆炸开始就是如此。组成我们身体的元素，聚合了无数次，化为星辰，燃烧殆尽后，收缩又被释放出，然后再度形成螺旋，融合在一起，最终又离散。
5。比个人预期要好一些，原本是抱着寄的心态，看完只能说大佬们和wit在制作上确实敬业，就是老虚可能是受限于题材和资方导致剧本非常一般，小畑健的人设个人也不喜。《你的名字》已经是6年前的电影，业界（甚至包括新海诚本人）都是时候走出风景+灾难+爱情片的舒适圈了——对《すずめの戸締まり》同样不抱太高期望。
