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.
画风都好喜欢
国内首部原创绘本电影，非常值得肯定和鼓励，是了不起的。真实的生活、散文般的语言，和自然流露的情感，让七个故事都充满温情。个人最喜欢、也是最感动的是《外婆的蓝色铁皮轮椅柜》，我很想念我一生劬劳的姥姥，时至今日她在我心里的形象也是那样单纯而美好。(眼泪在流了…)
二将讲的是一个神话故事，但结局是双胞胎打闹的日常故事。很有创意，一直被故事吸引，最后恍然大悟。
中国首部绘本动画片，故事非常贴合我们，从古到今，还用了不少的方言，颇具代表性，也能通过影片感受到导演们的用心，都体现在细节上！
最喜欢 小兔子 萤火虫 糖水铺...，稀松平常的感动。平平淡淡的日常组成了不简单的每一天。慢下来去感受简单的快乐，平淡的幸福是一件很不容易的事情呀。
算不上一部成熟的电影作品，但作为国产动画电影的一次新尝试，用儿时熟悉的画风讲述了七个平凡温馨的绘本小故事，还是有温暖的力量触动到我❤️
看完以后整个人都明亮温暖起来。
照亮童年，为爱发光。电影7个无关联的小短片凑在一起，聚焦亲子关系、人与自然、兄弟手足、睦邻之情、异地成长的故事题材。以水墨、剪纸、水彩等 展现了治愈的国风美学。
前两个单元故事小娃配音有点出戏，这是一个莫得感情的朗读机器吗？尤其是《萤火虫女孩》，看着又美又萌的动画，听到这个小男娃内心毫无波澜的配音……
樊登推荐，专门来看。第一感觉，故事稍微低幼了一些，都是十分简单的故事，更加适合带上小朋友去看。不过后面的两个故事，哼哈二将，还有发生在南京的的故事，稍微好一些了。基本上是复古的动画风格，水墨和油画风，可以看看吧！
最喜欢糖水铺和外婆蓝色轮椅这两个单元，好温馨。
看着挺暖的。继续加油啊。
很暖心的动画，最喜欢糖水铺的故事。不过也可以从好几篇中看出中国家庭中父亲职位的缺失吧
这片儿还挺好看的，画面很唯美，故事平常又动人，缓缓的入心的那种感觉[呲牙][呲牙] 那我也来个喜欢的故事排名吧。1.小兔子的问题，2.萤火虫女孩，3.外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅，4.蒯老伯的糖水铺，5.哼将军与哈将军，6.小火车，7.翼娃子的星期天
“爱的奔赴”终极预告以温暖疗愈之风走心来袭，看完真的想家了！[心] 七位导演联手执导七个短片，带来最纯粹的感动。成长会有离别和失去，但亲人的爱永远是最贴心的存在。向着明亮那方，就是那个照亮童年叫做“家”的地方。
很适合带着小朋友一起去看，绘本故事，台词不会太多，需要沉浸和理解，可以增强小朋友的想象力和同理心，每个故事都很好看，大人来看也完全没问题，很受启发！
哼哈将军：双胞胎打打闹闹的兄弟之情；
没有刻意的去煽情 骗眼泪 普通人的生活很平凡也很温馨 难得这部动画电影里的普通人终于不再被妖魔化了 强烈安利！
《小火车》《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》《翼娃子的星期天》《哼将军和哈将军》好喜欢！！！
3.5。和小时候常看的那种自我感动式的故事/作文很像。不过还是挺治愈的。
