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.
整体还可以，就是出现了个最后手机又有信号了这个bug。开始出现三白一黑一亚就猜出反派是谁了。个人觉得最后留个开放式结尾会好点。
题材并不新鲜 PS：谁又能抵挡得住冬兵的魅力呢
6.5分。女主智商全程在线还是值得好评的。
2.5 有点太长了，不过吃肉片段挺毛骨悚然的
说跟Raw有一比的朋友们我就搞不懂了。这个充其量算是降智版本？设置的有点刻意，太多地方都过度说明了导致观感不好。连卖点一口咬掉都是之前Teeth玩剩下的。明明这么有趣的题材可以更黑色更犀利的。给加一星是因为结尾的出租车小哥，”he’s married?!”以及Chad的”you up”的吐槽非常点睛。要是全片都能有这么棒的视角就好了。
仇男电影，油腻普信男，网络上见女号就发调图的男号，只吃女人的食人魔，怂货黑男，里面的男人全部是直男癌，刻意丑化男性，电影里的性别一换怕是微博都要瘫痪。吃人肉我看的津津有味，唯独这女导演打拳给我看吐了。和着导演吃猪牛羊还能一口吃出是公还是母来？强行来一波女人的肉更好吃？请问你去买肉是爱买满是脂肪软趴趴的肉呢？还是爱买没啥脂肪肥瘦相间肉筋道的呢？
没什么太大的惊喜，后半段的设置也不太高明，巧合因素太多。不过这种暴风雪山庄模式，还是挺讨喜的。
偶见车中缚童，牌戏探查嫌疑。
这么个片子还搞什么血腥艺术，砍掉半小时还好点，续集算了吧。致命弯道与德州电锯之类，不能服它的及格分。
男主设定好傻好天真啊 以为自己遇到了第二个Ann吗？还是太小清新了 没有什么“新鲜”可看 but Sebastian Stan in all black.. man he looking good!! And the kitchen dancing scene完全本色演出
三星半。女主的演技確實還不錯，裡面的一些黑色幽默也還蠻逗笑，只是題材不算新穎，中後段略平庸，可能是這種類型片看多了導致閾值提高，感覺手法還可以更為極端一些，更讓人不適一些……
披着吃人肉的外壳的纯纯女拳片。全片三个男性没一个好东西。女主之前是直女，结果屁股被吃了哈哈哈真能编啊。
前半段是好看的 后面是这辈子都觉得cringe并且看一次就会有心理阴影的接受不了的 肢 解 全身难受的状态 身体的每个褶子都觉得更加折皱啊啊啊啊
有点像《金刚不坏》，前面很沉闷，最后爽15分钟。主角又又又又又没有补刀，最后还回去捡手机，简直蠢死，不过反派更蠢，惊悚片中很少见到这么蠢战斗力又低的反派。塞包一笑起来太甜了，全片一半时间都在约会调情，这片感觉更像是个极端变态版《五十度灰》
擦现在这女性专属恐怖片还有没有尽头了？直接给我来了个把女的骗去卖真人肉的……男主长得好像 嗜血法医啊
无论是人物还是情节，所有设定都极度政治正确，俊男靓女加上唯美构图，其实挺舒适。打算再带着我家未成年少女一起看，告诉她无论对方多么优秀，前十次约会一定要在公共场所，想吃你的有两次就放弃了，坚持到最后的都是惦记你公积金的，所以……找个好工作也很重要。
整体感觉很平庸，清汤寡水的！女主表演还可以。
男主有点....太人性了，他不像是会那么那么人性的人，转折点没那么戏剧化就好了
屁大点儿事儿讲了一个半小时，里边的人一个比一个蠢。浪费我生命
几个反转很不错，但整体略粗糙！剧本设计有几个缺陷，女主本可以让救援jc不死的！
