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.
打斗在写实和写意之间的某个状态，还挺好看的。
陆谦明显摘抄自水浒，林大卫的个体遭遇也类似林冲。大卫两个字，不中不洋。与主演中西合璧的脸型倒也贴合。后十年的编排明显比不上前十年。尤其陆谦对弟妹突施强暴，十分勉强。（十年中就没有下手？）应是为了暴露陆的丑恶而斧凿的情节。前半截陆是个大奸贼，后半截又往良善上鼓捣，矛盾。大决战情绪铺垫不错，气氛起来了。
用逻辑讲不通，用理性讲不通，只能讲感情了，都讲得通了。感觉主人公像是击败一个个小赌场，最后跟boss决斗的是一场梭哈，到最后了还不放心，感觉是个骗局。其实一切都是那么的真实。
感觉角色塑造全靠演员语言强撑。全片就记住一句台词印象深刻，“你妈的，又捅这里”，笑死了。
院线8分，网大10分。
6.7分吧，打斗挺好，剧情中规中矩但是逻辑上欠佳。不太清楚是模仿还是抄袭绣春刀。电影里有的一笔带过都无，知县跟十年牢狱只存在台词里🤣，感觉主角太不杀伐果断了，兄弟陷害通吃你家人都不报复。值得一看，绣春刀3啥时候出呀？
6+，多一分敬武侠。击技风格有点像柳白猿，匍匐隐忍 寻找破绽，属杀人技。奈何细节却粗枝大叶。至于剧情，为了过审？以陆谦的行事风格，弟媳应该在流放后的第二年就被巧取豪夺了。通篇描述挺隐忍的，官家事一笔过，江湖事江湖了。殊不知，江湖事也是官家事。明面上不好说的，就有了二狗子。不能豪夺，就有了八大楼。以前看武侠看的是侠肝义胆，后来就见了江湖，再后来知道了厅堂，也知道了人在江湖飘半分不由己。啥时候再看回到一腔热血满堂彩，也就圆满了。
朴实剧情配上简单的对白，隐藏的是考究的打斗和摄影，值得一看！
还要啥自行车啊？这不是挺好的。不能因为它是网大就硬找茬吧。剧本有点温瑞安的味道，真实黑暗且背叛。就是台词实在差。武戏也可以，不输廖凡的那个师父。。另外小地方的政治生态，是真特码恶心。（什么侠客，不过是拿刀的喽啰，什么高手，一样是血肉之躯）最后的结局就强行呼应上文，拿刀的都死了。悲剧武侠。
太好看的武侠片了，武打戏真的棒！五星拉拉分！
1、剧情缝合感严重，王家卫的东邪西毒+水浒传林冲+绣春刀加钱很润哥，为了刻画学武之人没有好下场的宿命感，故事的合理性是经不起推敲的
开篇不错，有着王家卫的影子，可惜人物降智，形象扁平，逻辑不通，家长里短拖沓无趣，关键是女的毫无演技。武指比隔壁悍刀行强了十倍不止，真实且矫捷，毕竟是个网大，在全网妖魔鬼怪和浮夸沙雕的霸道总裁里也算一股清流了。
只是情节有点俗套
名字取得太大而且莫名其妙倒是真的。
故事很简单，打戏是真的用心，良心之作，值得一看。
大漠的荒凉，刀客的无情。剧情一般，但是大戏还是可以的，刘楚玄依稀有林青霞的味道。
是我喜欢的武侠。
已经超越了百分之九十网大，但是拍的也就那回事，多给一星算鼓励
都他妈搁这儿呐，地里的棉花能自个儿收自个儿啊
5.8真的过分，武打戏至少8分以上，剧情也不强行狗血，陆谦10年没有和女主好上这点不错，7-8分的好电影
