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.
摄影很有视觉张力，浅蓝+暗灰调色以及氛围渲染隔着屏幕都能感受到的空旷寒冷，这是个人喜欢的点。但剧情简单，中规中矩（女主的自私也不掖着，直接摊牌，很蠢就是了）感觉xx行动、xx营救大多都是一贯的套路手法，没什么新的点…但毕竟都网飞了，无脑爽就行，还要什么自行车？
男主大冤种，不过很帅
22/365 人物智商都太低了 很讨厌熊孩子
莫名其妙，逻辑细节都不同。导演编剧说行就行啦？
看到这主角形象。我就奇怪好眼熟，原来是周星驰，哈哈哈哈
这个溜冰送武器也不知道是怎么想到的 整个电影逻辑乱的一批
豆瓣里文艺婊越来越多了，这样的战争影片至少应该打个3.5星（7.0分左右）吧。有场面、有剧情、节奏也比较紧凑，没什么大漏洞，还是可以看看的
定位不太准确，对幼儿来说太成熟说教了，对大点的孩子来说又老套了些。2D比3D好。少些网络用语吧，有些出戏。
没有什么核心内容 穿插的亲情面前 博弈了人类私心与大爱 视效尚可 瑞典快递宣传片 海面结冰我没查到数据 跟海水盐度饱和程度有关 估计-30没戏 近海岸问题不大 整个海峡不过百也差不多吧 这身行头科技含量不够高啊 除了这点心思其他太水了。。。。
看不懂前情，看不懂铺垫，看不懂动机，只知道母爱胜过一切。
冰上作战的场景比较少见，最后二人对战十人的攻防片段有看头，距离五十米，即使有狙击手也来不及打，紧张刺激，其它部分没啥好说。北欧的女性很有个性，看起来特别能战斗。

几个冰面滑行的镜头真赞，但整体剧情拉垮，逻辑不通
被普罗米修斯的女主骗来，上当了，脑残剧情，可怜这些演员剧组大冷天的受苦了
贵女主是否滑冰运动员退役?挠破头皮想不出这戏有冰面拍摄意义，所以是为了运动员退役再就业强拍吗？
孩子挺喜欢，比想象的好看，可能是期望值太低了，大过年为了孩子高兴
只当成电影看还是当成未来的一种可能，我是当成后者看，给5星。在那样世界里，还有什么是活下去的支撑。
就是拒绝服从他们的命令，
为了纪念主角的英勇行径，国际奥组委将冰上追逐运动纳入了冬奥会，并命名为短道速滑。
希望是一种错觉
