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.
不是一个靠激动人心的冒险故事驱动的电影，Stan幻想中的秘密登月计划只占了非常小的部分，全片都是在讲太空竞赛时期休斯顿郊区儿童丰富多彩的童年生活，喜不喜欢这部电影取决于你喜不喜欢怀旧，我看评论区有人说咱跟美国生活没共鸣，come on，大家都是从小孩子长大的，无论是跟朋友一起玩，还是周末看电视，总有一件两件事是联结我们所有人的吧？旁白娓娓道来理查德·林克莱特的美妙台词，像一部精彩的童年回忆录，我被深深迷住了
对当时乌纳的暴行描述其实已经非常克制了😑。“炮击”自己国土百姓这种事对当地人的刺激比什么俄语限制大多了。
没有无缘无故的爱，也没有无缘无故的恨，更没有无缘无故的战争。
一个梦想 一个很大的梦想 一个很大但是能实现的梦想☁️
小时候做梦自己成为宇航员上天去，还有全家人一起看电视，一群小朋友一起玩……
浓浓怀旧风，过去许多单纯的美好再也回不去了。
基辅政府下的自愿军以及雇佣军，乌东的民兵，土匪。是这三方势力吗？
终于明白了，普京大帝要发动2022年这次战争了，如果电影属实，那么希望乌克兰去纳粹化。
理查德•林克莱特的童年回忆录，属于他自己的“少年时代”
是人类历史性的一刻，不过当往后回想起，真正留存下来的模糊记忆片段是八九岁在太空乐园精力耗尽的一天之后阖家围坐电视机前守直播，跟困意作斗争失败窝在沙发里昏沉睡去。随后母亲替他调整了睡姿，把他的双腿搁在自己腿上。"You could drift off, knowing everything was going to be fine. And you'd wake up the next morning in your bed." 会怀念童年时这种可以在行驶的车厢里毫无顾虑地安心睡去的special comfort.
这样的童年好有趣，充实又有意义，一边享受童年的快乐，一边见证宇宙探索的进程，那时候的中产家庭真的都有那么多个孩子吗？兄弟姐妹多玩伴多，邻居孩子轮流打石膏好好笑，放飞的童年，真正的童年
这部电影总体来说还不错吧，唯一缺点就是时间有点缺少，不太够看。
跨越国家和年代都能找到共鸣的童年回忆录，里面讲述的事情小时候大多也体验过，怀旧题材很难不喜欢
加上我爸的一些推波助澜
1969 年夏天人类首次登月，通过一名孩子的眼睛去见证历史，这既是一部成长故事，也是一部社评片，更是一场天外大冒险。
drama haha h
各个时代有各个时代的背景
阿波罗十号半，这个是挺好的故事，我可以推荐五星，我看的时候还感叹美国人真有钱，小孩都可以送到月球，但是看来其他的评论以后才知道是假的，是小孩的自我幻想，但是也很有趣，六七十年代的时候美国也是真的富，得益于冷战与那时候的经济形势，现在种族矛盾、政治正确等上来以后，想要办成一件事情尤其是劳民伤财的事情真的很难了，另一方面也让我了解了那一代美国人生活的方式，展现时代的风貌。
但喜欢这样的叙述形式，可能对外国小孩文化想有点认知而瞎凑热闹 是导演自己的电影 不会太火
战争题材的优秀影片。当战争的残酷赤裸地展示在普通人面前，残忍、滑稽、恐惧，同种族同国家本该团结起来的人兵戈相见，甚至不是因为政见不同，只是糊涂地被煽动。对于百姓无差别攻击，在战争面前武器的绝对优势，像老兵说的一样，疼痛不是最难的，无能为力才是。
