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.
在自我指涉中，“真实”被呼唤了出来，身体先于思维有了反应，谁也无法解释为什么看到最后我一个爆哭。
一星给啾迪
看完就感觉这个剪辑不会做转场 导致剧情看着都不太连贯 剧情细节也不够 情绪纯靠演员表演和台词输出 不是被忘了 是根本不在乎 最易感的人群也是在优先级里最先被剔除的人群 再配合着这几个月愈演愈烈的唐宁街聚会丑闻来看更加讽刺了 （终于有一部还能看的疫情相关电影了 看的是英国 想的全是武汉 情感是相通的 顺便呼唤Ricky回来写Derek3
帝国主义的宣传不行，老是赞美个体，问责政府。
很喜欢探讨创作的部分，还有社交中的尴尬处境。Lincoln Center/Secret Screening
好好看哦，我也喜欢洪的电影陪我待着，聊天。一度眼睛要瞎掉了，但难掩内容的好。他们俩好相爱啊，金在最后的镜头里纯洁美好的像个小孩子，他们的我爱你我爱你，是真的相爱才有的我爱你啊，好多好多的爱，这分明是一场婚礼。
帝国主义的宣传不行，老是赞美个体，问责政府。
结论，金敏喜是所有创作者的缪斯，而她现在只属于洪尚秀。
朱迪科默真的是个好演员 完全被她带入情境当中
疫情背景下的片子里，这部片子显得格外真诚朴素，用简单的视角和技巧就把人与人在疫情下的艰难和信任展现出来，朱迪科默的脆弱无助感也是我们最真实的写照，但从剧作本身来看，对于男女主之间的情感铺垫以及女主家人这两部分处理得有些潦草，导致后半段男女主感情递进的突然。为创作组真诚的表达初心所动容，希望国内有朝一日也会有这样气质的疫情剧情片。
我们应该多一点维度来看待每一件和人有关的事情，短却是深刻的。
完全就是在看导演个人生活，如果不是金敏喜，吸引力减一半。
结结实实的给看哭了。WE need to see this film right now! and It's 2022.
还挺喜欢这一部洪尚秀的，日常和巧合，怼天怼地又感情细腻的小说家，像是导演自身理想的投影，对女演员爱意都溢出屏幕了
是，它是一种不同于主旋律的视角，但确实也不够好；尤其那个急匆匆让警察出现的结尾，仿佛就是为了安排朱迪那一段愤怒质疑英国政府的台词，那般无力却又设计感十足，那一瞬间我想到了肯洛奇，但很遗憾，本片导演永远都不会成为肯洛奇。
One of the first wave (pun intended) of COVID-inspired drama. It highlights something well-known but starts from a small life-like scenario. The critical commentaries (esp. at the end) aren't always subtle, but they do show different philosophies and approaches to carework. Favoritism is bad as well as negligence, though one leads to more suffering
看的第一部和疫情直接有关的电影，在经历的这一两年难称为顺利的困苦中，听到演员们集体朗诵Sir Edward Dyer my mind to me a kingdom is, 边吃面条边流泪
J C在小变态和失控玩家后能够接一部这样的人文关怀电影，不愧是英国女演员。新冠疫情来袭，养老院病房的窘况，所有人都鼻酸
2020年春节后的居家办公时期，晚上在空荡荡的小区马路上跑步，感觉每一次深沉有力的呼吸都是上天的赐福。在英国率先实现群体免疫，摘下口罩回归正常生活的时刻，才有心情回顾这个国家曾经经历的绝望。对疫源地人民来说，这是一种奢望。朱迪科默妹子，没想到一口利物浦英语如此流利，超级奇怪的口音。
没有很喜欢 小说家的电影 也没看睡着。洪尚秀喜欢做实验，这一部想看看演员在没剧本的情况下能聊多久，反应会是什么。主要是演员没找对，如果请罗永浩来演，能把摄影机聊没电。。。。
