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.
无法言喻，两位女主角演的特别好。虽然没有什么恐怖的画面，但是真的极其恐怖(๑ó﹏ò๑
主题先行，剧情略弱。画面、音乐出彩。梅拉尼·罗兰好美。
见证梅拉尼·罗兰从演员到导演的蜕变，这部疯女人我强推，2小时的观影体验，见证了女性之间真挚的友谊，但又闻到了一丝丝的姬香
记得老师曾讲过关于doctor一词的一种说法
Laurent的镜头还是很美的。海报实在太糙了。
这里的大前提是 女主真的能同亡者交流。那如果她不带任何特异功能仅仅是一个歇斯底里患者呢？ 舞会一年又一年的聚餐 医生的实验对象换了一批又一批 靠着这样一个带着点神秘主义的女性来高举‘觉醒’的大旗 多少有点令人沮丧。
女人会疯大多数是被逼疯的，而男人疯大多数是天生或者装疯，毕竟这两样对男权社会来说还是能得到好处的，而把女人逼疯只是为了维护男权社会。女性的自由之路一开始是没有的，走到如今也是从没停止的战争。
一部关于女性主义的电影 虽然立意挺好的 但后面某些剧情的发展 有点过于强调女主光环 就是本来想表达女性在旧时代中任人鱼肉的残酷 但好像女主最后得到解放和自由的原因也只是她能“通灵”😂 先不说通灵这件事是否合理 反正就感觉怪怪的 而且极限一换一 护士长最后代替女主去蹲牢这个桥段也挺一言难尽的…… 不过配乐和场景真是不错 女主和护士长在不同情境下脱掉欧式胸衣 其实意境很明显了 俩人互相帮助摘掉给女性的枷锁

最近很多不值polyvalent这个形容词的叙事 但是本片真的值得 虽然在架构上重述了当代女性主义常识 但是人物血肉丰满 又eternal 又真实到有限制感
好美的片子 我或许会选择做疯子 疯子活得更真实 现实难道不是一样 不能说实话 否则就mute你
见鬼照第六感差，同情病人的医生被疯，比第六病室差，被疯女性的苦难，比红颜劫差。。。看着有点BORING，搞得像命题作文、诉苦大会。。。能不能像白毛女一样编个好故事？
what is荒谬 谁tmd才是疯子
两位女主都很美 故事本身平淡 但整体却非常流畅
这个节奏太慢了，二倍速都急死我，但剧情还行
一部压抑精致的女性电影，自由意识觉醒.“我们是自由的，坚强的，永恒的”.
单从故事性上来看，本片三星。最后护士长在能走的情况下选择留下，这点无论如何想不明白，她的留下并没有给女主提供有利的逃走因素。片中多处出现的对比映像（女主和护士长的后颈、穿衣、脱衣），以及服化道都是很悦目的，再加一星。
就这样，我们获得了自由，获得了强大，获得了永生
2:1:49，疯狂的定义该由谁下，又凭什么他能确定
通灵小姐遇到了一个好护士长，还有大样本随机双盲对照试验之前，医学很糟糕。
