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.
为“丑陋”“危险”动物正名！ 有颜值的考拉好可怜😂😂。
还有谁会爱你！有一种跟老朋友们见见面的感觉。迪霸哥真是又高又帅
标准流程的拍法，生出不尽然相同的感动。又稳又准确，但在情感上还是网开一面了，温暖重重。
邓布利多的秘密就是他的爱人是这部戏里的大魔王。我还以为有邓布利多年轻时的那个帅哥，结果看完了都没出现，他们说在第二部里面，而且只出现了三秒。
真的挺奇怪的。扫地僧的设定还挺好，但是东一块西一块想要涉足的东西有点多。数学的美好用钢琴曲诠释得很到位，但是做题面对考试这种事，真的没有这么理想化。最后教堂演讲部分，我真的目瞪口呆，学校群体舞弊事件放在少年法庭里可是讲了好几集诶。
·神奇动物在哪？在哪啊？
都好可爱好萌啊，尤其是蝎子和蛇，从来没有看过那么萌的蝎子和蛇
这部电影太重情节了，没有好好把神奇动物学家的主角做好，真的有点失败。德国和丹麦的演员长得太像了，他俩不演个双胞胎，太浪费了
都好可爱好萌啊，尤其是蝎子和蛇，从来没有看过那么萌的蝎子和蛇
【5.5】
8 不知道大家能不能感受到从温暖的面包店出来，外面是暖色调雪花纷飞的干净街道，突然就想抽根烟的那种清爽的舒适感。邓布利多说这是一种重归正轨的短暂幸福，反正我是感受到了，而且这种舒服感在电影中越来越少见。可能我是唯一一位前两部都没看的人吧，抱歉重点搞错了。
爬虫版马达加斯加，你要嘛就荒诞到搞笑，你要嘛就搞笑带点信息，又要荒诞又要大道理就显得很表面很蠢，我知道你想说人类就只会珍爱可爱的动物，不可爱的就暴力对待，但说真的到底哪里的动物训练员看到考拉要抱抱会一脚往肚子踢去？？哪里的动物园每早拿木棍敲玻璃让动物醒？？会容许顾客往蝎子喷东西？哪里的人民那么痛恨动物到看到考拉，第一时间不是报警，而是一群人追杀他？？甚至铺布在爬虫群上然后乱棍殴打？？考拉的戏份说真的根本可有可无，打从一开始就根本没有带他走的必要啊啊？他晕了就让他晕在那不就好了？
比第一部好看。只是，把考拉设计得这么丑，着实有点辜负澳大利亚国宝的名声。
建议大家看完邓布利多血虐侄儿那段之后就起身离开电影院，算是本片唯一的亮点了, 可以节约很多时间。
“我丑 你也丑 大家都该这么丑 丑是美的新潮流”丑东西协会暗号已经掌握👌🏻
两个孤独的人在生活中相互取暖，并相互欣赏和鼓励——做诚信的人，忠于学术的人，不被政治利用，不干出卖他人和良知的事。这是他们能彼此走近的重要原因，也是这个故事超越师生情谊的动人之处。
一星给神奇演绎的数学世界，一星给崔岷植的表演，将所有人引入数学的奇妙世界。万试万灵的经验，只有对一项事物感兴趣了，才能把他学好
能想到《美丽心灵》或《模仿游戏》，好久没看到把数理逻辑放在电影里做出圆熟的叙事的片子了。可以说用得简单了或是纯然玩弄一些“噱头数学”的概念，但依然难掩一种跳动活跃的气质——那是微积分的极限或函数上的动点、是黎曼猜想也是高中数学。越高阶的数学反而数字越少，精确的符号在现实之中屏幕之外震动，寥寥几笔，尽是人类大脑的荣光。
最早闪耀戛纳的崔珉植因为一些原因 现在已经演不了韩国一线电影 他是奇怪圈子里的好演员
可是这部片子，却拍出了满满的人情味
