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.
國語晉語九：趙簡子嘆曰：「雀入于海為蛤，雉入于淮為蜃。黿鼉魚鱉，莫不能化，唯人不能。哀夫！」竇庇侍，曰：「臣聞之，君子哀無人，不哀無賄；哀無德，不哀無寵；哀名之不令，不哀年之不登。夫范、中行氏不恤庶難，欲擅晉國，今其子孫將耕于齊，宗廟之犧為畎畝之勤，人之化也，何日之有！」
所以我不研究善变、难懂的人类，要转去研究通透、明净的事物，用事物来忘却我。
作为全员听障家庭中的“健听”者，作为无声世界与正常世界的“传达”者，CODA（Children Of Deaf Adults）承受着与生俱来的使命，扮演着与年龄不符的保护者，消化着这世界对残障人士的针对和敌意，品味着作为“异类”的委屈和煎熬。歌唱和音乐是家人无法理解的世界，妈妈问，如果我是盲人，你还要喜欢画画吗？当影片戛然中止所有背景声，无声世界的被孤立感从屏幕倾泻而出，原来我们从未真正理解过“残障”二字，因为我们的确太“正常”了。当歌声只能靠振动而被感受，庆幸的是，爱终能让家人找到共振的频率。
【大同海天何处寻，莫如兹山捕鱼去】小岛上的青年为了活得像个人而读书，最后却发现国家权贵并不把贱民当人看。士大夫学富五车，却发现大同的梦想无法实现，转而开始为惠民而编写鱼谱。这一对师徒从不同的起点出发，短暂的相处，又走向不同的方向，最后却发现殊途同归。虽然导演自己编写了后半部分剧情，不过不显得突兀。听着熟悉的四书五经，看着致人于死地的苛捐杂税，很难不让人想起我们自己的古代社会。黑白片的风格使得整个片子呈现了水墨画的飘逸，也包含了几分当时世道的残酷，可以说是明智的选择。
不难看 但是很老套 好像是新题材套了看老模版的感觉
这浓浓的人文关怀像突破乌云的一束阳光，在悲惨又内卷的痛苦社会中让我沐浴到了一个半小时多的温暖。
改编之后更符合好莱坞叙事的范式，从头到尾都散发着……为啥最近看的片子都觉得好结局来得太突然。对着老爹唱歌那段还是很感人。
离teenage period真太远 远到很难get that point 男女主一起跳下去的湖是我看来最羡慕也最喜欢的场景了。an actor's line blew my mind is "You know why god made farts smell? so deaf people can enjoy them too"
女主长相是我喜欢的类型，男主是《初恋这首情歌》里的小哥呀！为家人用手语表演歌曲那里是我新年第一哭！
还不快谢WS那一巴掌。
另外，我也觉得中国拍的很多古装影视作品很拉胯，韩国整体古装作品要好于中国，但这部不是。这个水平如果很好表现了传统文化，那传统文化在豆瓣很多人眼里到底得有多肤浅～还有扯到了偷不偷的，这就是典型的以能力掩盖道德了
4.3 children of deaf adults.故事很好，声声线动人，当小女孩遇见伯乐与爱，结局些微有点俗套，但还是满满感动。
一切都恰如其分，毫发不爽
班鳐走的路班鳐知道，黄雕鱼走的路黄雕鱼知道，为兹山的鱼作谱，探究鱼的道、而放弃在性理之学的框架中解释变化多端难以把握的人性，在黑暗中做一个闪闪发光的人是丁若镛选择的道。如果不能在生活中按照书本中学的道理生活，那只能按照自己的性子活下去，摘下官帽、回到海边的昌大也找到了自己的道。也许黑暗才能酝酿色彩和光亮，要不为何片尾那抹蓝色出现在小鸟身上时我们都雀跃了呢。
大学之道，在明明德。表层是博自然之万物，核心还是博终极之人道。水族的生理构造和人类的品质性格互通相映，久久回响。这种电影看多了，会产生共情的错觉，但回到现实还是要做回脏污的自己。
The silent minute is very impressive. We cannot connect to the world all the time, can we ?
韩国电影越来越式微，但每一年，都至少有一部在亚洲范围内镇住场子，去年是《南山的部长们》，今年是《兹山鱼谱》。
电影是造梦的艺术。这当然是一部极度提纯了的电影，但父女情，母女情，兄妹情，友情，爱情，师生情，都在极小的篇幅里做到了真挚，动人。湛蓝的海水，绿色森林中的小径，满天繁星的夜空，渔港小镇，包括去伯克利面试路上的一朵野花，这电影的一切都显得很美。因为有这样的电影，我们才会说，我爱电影。当然也要说很吃女主的颜值。还有两个亮点我觉得是伯克利面试的那首歌和学校演奏时突然的消音，真的真的太棒了！！真善美的普世价值和对聋哑人人文关怀，我还年轻，热泪盈眶。
流放生活拍得闲适有趣，又没有冲淡该有的沧桑悲凉。依旧延续了《思悼》对儒家传统的反思，以士大夫和渔夫、官场和流放地互为表里镜像，背景又是西学东渐，既有儒道互补共生的和谐场景，又有新旧思想碰撞的焦灼困境。
同是双男主，比起《徐福》的孔刘与朴宝剑，此番薛景求与卞约汉的搭配更显出彩。一位是入世后的出世，一位是出世后的入世，大家的流放与庶民的追高，对立之后是一同前进的羁绊，文学性与哲学性一同得以展现。薛景求是一如既往的稳定，卞约汉则真的是久久久违地拿到了佳片佳角，狗壁也是时候走起来了！
