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.
充满激情的阿娜伊斯，爱上了从老夫到老妻，最后和女作家电梯甜蜜一吻，战胜了幽闭恐惧症。
笑死 大家是不是都偷偷爱上过男朋友的前女友啊
今年的最后一部lgbt，浪漫的情调，写信那段勾起一些难过的回忆。
I do not agree. Even if it's just an illusion, let's love when it is there between us till it no longer is.
糟糕人比这自然一百倍！！Anais太pretentious，整个片子太浮躁强硬，只有摄影质感很好
人都渴望那种无拘无束的、毫无羁绊的自由与生气，但这样的体验是否只能存在于一个夏天？
how pay!我好爱法国女人 女二完全是milf典范
不要挥洒它，用它做点什么。
看前面总以为自己是1.5倍速，Anayis风风火火毛躁不安的状态就出来了。她的性格真是不讨喜，莽撞的有点自私，但被她偏爱的肯定会心动，因为年轻和美丽和热情的确无法阻挡。没想到最后爱情的走向是这样的，在热烈的夏日发生的爱情，同性之情的张力似乎比异性强很多，同理可见请以你的名字呼唤我。
非常大胆，随性追求快乐的人，只有那种国情、文化土壤才能产出。对常人来说，她连导师会议的鸽子都放，随口扯谎，简直是把自己的前途当儿戏。越来越多的不定性人的影片出现，艺术观念貌似开放包容，不知道现实如何
GFF22# emmm跟糟糕人差太多了。不能理解女主的人设，追求自由人生不是不负责任好吧，对女主的恶感让后半场坐立难安。姬线感觉像硬塞进来的，换成男女也没差。
Écris-moi encore！
这个电影看完居然有点上头，是因为很简单的就是喜欢而一往无前吗，很难说。但我觉得这里面有几处让人竟然有些细腻的让人感动，安尼斯和妈妈间的爱也一直让人觉得很感动，看起来对什么都无所谓的人，对最爱自己的人的不舍和依恋。两个女主处在不同的生命阶段，但都在不断寻找内心对爱的追求，看的时候没有更多的觉得是百合剧，而就是对“爱”和直觉的追求探索。毛毛躁躁安尼斯可以为爱豁出去，艾米丽成熟会对爱思前想后。是个关于夏天的好电影啊～
多可爱哇，女主风风火火生机勃勃，法国女人均bi不是说说而已。Valeria阿姨好美，竟然去年两部姬片入围戛纳，另一部是主竞赛《破裂》。那部都能爱上她，这部简直是粉丝福利。导演在情节上和场景上把男人“障碍化”的设置很有意思，跟Céline Sciamma的“去男人化”完全相反，但殊途同归——女人的故事生动地浪漫地上演着，与男无瓜。
景色很美，但get不到这对姬，像是两个直女硬凹蕾丝……
阿娜伊斯：我不接受，死死拿捏着御姐。很迷人啊你，虽然有时不考虑别人的感受。太自我自由的活着了。生活主线不强烈的人，很容易让你把生活打得一团糟啊
以为又是什么烂大街的外遇故事，却是小三爱上了原配，灵魂高度契合，又彼此追逐，让人拍案叫绝的故事走向。从始至终男与女之间的感情都无聊透顶，唯独两个身份对立的女人之间的爱情流淌着情欲的张力与诱惑。以书籍作为交流和生情的媒介，赢过皮肉间煌煌的性欲横流。两个女人之间，不论性别的爱，即使是幻象，也如夏花般美好。法国人把禁忌之恋拍的像夏日阳光下吹来的海风，充斥着漫到天际的浪漫和兜不住的明媚。
两位女主的爱情来得莫名其妙，也感觉不到两人之间有什么火花，激情戏也让人很难受，手上都是沙子，怎么做啊🤔
ps,电影名字也好浪漫，而且和《阿黛尔的生活》一样，都是和电影的女主角之一是相同的名字，喜欢。
Anais真的好美。她的生活好像一直停不下来，她不能走只能跑，永远在奔跑的路上，她不能完成一次深入的谈话，和她对话的人总是来不及说完就被她跑掉了。像风，像夏日，像鲜艳的红，热烈，勇敢，冒冒失失，激情燃烧。“我想，如果一个人的生命中曾有过这样的激情，那他就不会再病倒。” 是的，于是Emilie出现了。爱，让Anais停下脚步，让她静静聆听。Emilie说这不是爱，是错觉。怎么会呢？
