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.
承认印度优秀很难吗？
我不理解但我大受震撼，平均五分钟一个慢镜pose，这种直白的表达风俗，也明白了为什么加勒万河谷的三三们，是如此的表现和战力了。
印度版《革命往事》，我们的两个英雄知道自己是谁，为何而战。英雄拉姆是“火”，英雄ntrl是“水”，编导有意识将两种元素碰撞在一起，形成化学反应，这一点在州长官邸的战斗中被充分放大。视效丰富，有着惊人的想象力，是那种你应该在大银幕上看的电影。
缓兵之计只会带来更大更无法预料的战争
的确牛，虽然剧情也就抗日神剧水平，但人家拍的水平高啊，离谱却很和谐。构图，节奏都很到位，配乐也不错，充满着印度味，但也兼顾了流行元素。
虽然扯但是好好看！为了我的查兰和Edward无脑五星❤️
有點誇張，那有要送機密文件到處跑沒人管的。
7.最后面这个毗湿奴（看前面的评论是罗摩，搞不明白，印度神太多了）有点骚啊！还有那军装上，赤裸裸的嘲讽，笑死了！
电影很多内容，在当今也有意义，一面是保守主义，一面是激进的思想。你如果走中间，也就是阻止这两派，必然会遇到很大的阻碍。在这一过程中，必须要找到一种相对平衡，否则局势会失控。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
看了很多评论,了解到真实的历史,电影拍得不错,不过内容有失偏颇,实属遗憾
你可以说导演是为了替张伯伦开脱所以说他签协议是为了拖延时间，也可以说慕尼黑协定就是傻被骗了0
虽然晓得看印度神片跟看我国抗战神剧一样，不能深思其中的合理性，可是每当看到主角们受了重伤后，上一秒还是奄奄一息，下一秒打起架来就生龙活虎，战斗力爆棚时就忍不住想要吐槽。
就慕尼黑协定这个题材来说，拍得有点浅；两个主演不错；跟老婆那趟线鸡肋，要么就彻底砍掉，要么就再挖挖；过于美化张伯伦了，能理解他为什么会为了避免战争选择绥靖，但为了给英国准备时间这个不是主要因素
印度剧必神，必唱唱跳跳。难免也会剧情俗套......还违背物理定理、生物定理什么的.....不过视觉效果不错
“We don’t choose the times we live in, the only choice we have is how we respond to it.”
看有一条评论说，我们的历史教科书是毛子的史观？绥靖政策是合理必要的？那课本中的苏德互不侵犯条约呢？建议回炉重新接受义务教育。
无功无过，是理解张伯伦的另外一个角度吧，很喜欢男二说的一句话，希望是等待别人行动，只有放弃希望，我们才能做的更好
131分钟，豆瓣资料又瞎写！欧战前纵欲狂欢……以小见大的视角要避免混乱和乏味，本片凑合……美国大众还想关起门来过日子，上层蠢蠢欲动……元首所谓“纠纷终结”的意思是，不需要“谈”了！墨索里尼坑队友啊！办公室政治……这是政治人物？一切都往好处想？大英帝国真的没落了……国防军最鸡贼，有利益就上，见风险就躲！“希特勒再度让我们为当德国人而骄傲！”狂热是因为没有既得利益……希特勒选角不太像，借表这段有趣！小人物的努力太容易徒劳……种族主义者注定脑残！普通犹太人被双重抛弃……“我会想念你……”张伯伦被明捧实黑！动作戏有点搞笑……行刺者成不了事！噗，慕尼黑阴谋也被洗白“为盟军争取备战时间”，服！
为慕尼黑阴谋洗地和当年的行为同样厚颜无耻，西方的历史修正主义已经没有下线。
