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.
作为老旧阿宅，偶然机会知道crush一词的现译及泛指特指，豆瓣还有专门的话题和群组，从活跃度看这情绪还蛮热门。于是遇到片名相同的，就打算当科普来填填代沟……从开机，高纯色呈现的亮丽视效，直观上就营造青春逼人气息，剧中老妈都前卫得不要不要，孩子们的率性更是张扬到舍我其谁。意外地，看到结局，并没有九斤老太悲悯世风的心态，反而觉得新生代独立但包容，自由但平等～挺好哒！
前面尬的想扣地 后面结局反转确实牛逼 反正我是看乐了
好可爱好青春！！girl in red的歌响起来的时候我真的好心动💓喜欢女主的每一套look
本来我也想聊一聊10年来美国校园剧题材的对比，但是又想到我非常喜欢的Juno，（更何况EllenPage已经不再是女儿身了）。LGBT其实只是一个壳，如果关注内核的Crush只是一部普通套路的校园爱情，但依然能让人悸动。不得不说AJ和Paige站在一起就觉得很配（但是01年的罗温要注意一下自己的鱼尾纹了）
Paige和Gabby在操场kiss那里，让我想起了我第一次跟别人接吻，也是身体僵硬气氛尴尬，不过回想起来也蛮有趣的。
女主太可爱了！！！其他演员的表演都有些用力过猛，有点子尬、、、女主的新crush长得太像我一个师弟了，我全程跳戏。青春爱情片还是要找点俊男美女演看着才有意思。剧情很一般。。。
看到腳本有大河內本來還擔心了一下，果然有人管他還是正常的（劃線
我们总会遇到一些能点亮我们生活的人，但最终也会发现，这些人也许只适合让我们仰慕
理想美好的女同版校园青春恋爱片，看起来像是女同天堂
...喜欢上人类的ai，因为那个人类喜欢迪斯尼公主，所以进化出了迪斯尼功能...
我们总会遇到一些能点亮我们生活的人，但最终也会发现，这些人也许只适合让我们仰慕
轻松 情愫 青春
2.配乐和女主的t恤是GIR的；
fxxking the patriarchy顺直女们求求您可闭嘴吧！
这片子质量还行，有一些不错的笑点，能笑得出来；剧情里也没啥坏人，氛围挺活泼挺HAPPY。只是可惜是同性爱情，这不是我的菜，再就是剧情对我这个年龄有一点点幼稚，看一遍就可以了。我给3星6.6分，删掉！
Wanna taco-bout it？
也不能说较差吧，只是我快40的人看这种幼齿的青春无脑爱情片实在是觉得有点无聊。。。。而且也不是很喜欢女2的颜，so。。。
这才几天，一部电影三个名字……爱之彩……心烦意乱……悸动……
挺可爱的一部青春片，把梦想和爱情用美术作品的方式呈现。
3.5 很可爱的青春校园电影，虽然剧情很好猜，但看得出来在台词和一些双关语上有认真搞的。
