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.
评分咋也么低，居然都没及格。开头一段有点多此一举，后面都还可以，转承起合都有，也有一定的完整性，对现实也有讽刺意义，个人感受是没有评分那么差。
总结剧情：用资本打败资本
阵容还是不错的，剧情也是有些想法的。但整体制作，真就只能当网大看了。包括有几个年轻演员的表演，也是不太行。
剧情本身的悬疑色彩较弱，对于如今的观众来说，30分钟内猜到凶手毫无难度。但是本片当然也不会是将重点放在这里，而是从无数庭辩剧就一直讨论的话题，“法律到底是不是在维护正义？”律师是要维护公平和正义，还是要为当事人争取最大权益？”这个话题我早已有答案，也许每个人都有答案。
不要胡乱玩一夜情
一、搅屎棍英国的律师都不戴假髮了，这些外貌是中国人的法律职业人员还戴着可笑的东西。
凶案本身不明不白的，死者这种身份经历的女性会当公子哥的小三?或是电影背景介绍不够，一字未提正氏。是否强奸从尸检检不出来吗?其它剧情就看律师玩游戏了。
勉勉强强勉勉强强的，能看完，中半段好一点点，前后都差两口气，整体制作，主创，演员都太淡了
比想象要好，就是最后有种神之手破案的感觉…
谭耀文还不错。
方中信还是那么帅，张强还是那个常胜将军，不过这个案子的反转来的太过突兀，不够合理。但最后张强的话还是很令人动容。
强迫症让我看完的。最好看的居然是游艇上两个老戏骨的对手戏。
老戏骨演得好，剧本麻麻地了，警察的角色太单薄，太突然。
三点五分 还不错 剧情完整 不算特别曲折 小反转是黑警居然愿意坐牢拿钱当证人 意外
色调和质感不错，但现在香港律政片的剧情真是没法看，完全经不起推敲和脱离现实的“破案”。很想揭露权钱交易的内幕，维护社会正义，但就是一种被灌鸡汤的感觉。
富家女被杀，凶手是地下情男友（正在选议员），穷人家孩子被诬陷，有钱有势的人只手遮天，证据被毁灭，证人被伤害，警察👮被收买，在看守所的被诬陷者也被各种殴打，一切似乎没有转机，个人的力量毕竟无法硬碰硬，最后只能做点擦边球的事情，伪造了一份文件，有个肯牺牲自己为女儿的父亲，不然应该也不会有真相出来吧
并不感觉很烂，也算是智叔的一部遗作，不得不说，智叔演技一如既往的好，尤其是在游艇上的戏，真是很强势，表面上最后是正义战胜了恶势力，但没有智叔饰演的这个角色最后怎么也圆不回来了，庭审戏拿出赵警官录音真是让我出乎意料，还是金钱战胜了权势。方中信最后的那番话也很有韵味
廖启智和曾江在船上的对手戏好爽！
整个剧情和节奏都很一般。在感情纠缠中，官二代杀了富二代，找了穷小子背锅，看起来是律师“伪造”文书实现公义。但实际是富二代老爸用钱疏通了阻碍拿到了证据，在法庭上直接锤死了官二代。
现在的港片又到了需要强心剂的年代，后劲愈发不足了。这不仅仅是编剧的事情，更是包括剪辑在内一众团队都需要思考的问题。
