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.
到霍格沃茨的时候熟悉的bgm响起真的爷青回 服化道精美 年轻时候的麦格教授好漂亮 麒麟好可爱 欢迎奎妮回归 最后邓布利多孤身一人走在街上呜呜呜
扣分项：
我倒蛮喜欢这调调，反而不喜欢哈利波特。视效不错，特别是抽去一段记忆那里。真能这样就好了。
2.0。神奇动物去哪了？莫名其妙的选举，莫名其妙的邓布利多智囊，从第二部衍生出来的民主与极权之争，以及这部本该重磅的gay线，全部被抹平。
想看的点都没有，开场直接进入剧情，大概看了50分钟才明白大概
告诉我，邓布利多有什么迷？海蓝之谜吗？
无非就是最后邓布利多的“风雪夜归人”落下几滴泪。
就是想在大屏幕上看小雀斑和裘德洛的帅脸，多加一星
我们在青葱岁月里相爱，走上分道扬镳的道路，到人生迟暮成为各自领域势均力敌的领袖，拥有了一切，别人尊敬你，仰慕你，畏惧你，“现在还有谁会爱你呢”，没人见过全部的你，除了我，但这爱早已奄奄一息
格林德沃在东方古国的山巅坠落，跳崖之前，他问邓布利多：小虎，你心中可还有想要实现的心愿？
J•K罗琳的魔法世界先把魔法和现实分离，再痛快的在魔法世界里天马行空，漫威的超级英雄世界则把超越常人的力量和现实混淆在一起，给人虚幻的妄想
3)最后还是哭了 能去影院的请务必坐到最后 片尾曲不要错过阿！！！！
格林德沃：“邓布利多 这世界只有我爱你”
看邓老师教我们如何离开和对抗一个深爱过但伪装得像圣诞树的败类
盖世太保巨蝎地牢扭扭仿形脱出，竹林妖踪追杀，伦敦镜面拆屋，西藏巷口十八般武艺，真情吊坠相爱相杀；关于神奇动物和魔法过招的部分都很优秀，Eddie Redmayne 依旧讨喜，但川普上台后重新点票让希拉里当大统领什么的阴谋主线有点过于无聊儿戏，说好的民主选举你给我看麒麟下跪？想看一部没有邓布利多只有神奇动物的《神奇动物》 : ( PS：第三位候选人戏份那么少，怕不是为了规避乳滑风险
也不知道主角到底是谁？神奇动物又在哪里？麒麟也不萌还不如嗅嗅！节奏超慢，剧情无聊，很多时候不知道人物到底在干嘛，真的好难看啊！
6.0/10 分。初看，蓝光。第三部。前面两部我都忘记啥剧情了。特效还可以，就是那个剧情太扯了，让一只动物来选择，无语，幼稚。没认出裘德·洛来。麦叔演技还是杠杠的，就是又一次演反派。还不如麦叔2020年的《正义骑士》好玩。老麦，《汉尼拨》的第四季还能有吗？。。。
看之前就知道不会好看，但毕竟都看了前两部，但愿别再继续拍了。最近这么多年续作电影就没有几个能及格的，是都不会拍了吗
Cinity 非粉丝看个热闹，邓布利多去哪里？
04/08/2022. 和从小到大的、同样爱哈利波特系列的、一起看这个系列第二部的好朋友一起去看的。没有Johnny Depp很可惜，不过Mads Mikkelsen我也挺喜欢的。作为把我从我日常的所思所想和self-indulgence拉出来的一个”distraction”就挺好的。
