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.
片尾曲听着有点上头，不知道歌名是啥。
2、这种少数人的癖好了解一下也不错，不过确实有点刺激
明明旁白已经在向我说明电影想表达什么，但我愣是看不懂……在我眼里，这不就是sm版姐狗办公室偶像剧吗？但不得不说，选角真的不错。
3.5无功无过的公式化轻喜剧，有将职场性别歧视的现状与DS关系放在一起倒置对比的idea，但可惜浅尝即止。私心给忙内多打0.5分，这么多年来忙内的演员成长真的好快，当年演员初出道的贤还宛如昨日..
态度是想反传统权力结构，但拍得太浅了，又想猎奇搞笑，就什么都没做好。演员也不出彩，徐贤的状态不是特别好，男主不认识。当然，还是要比五十度灰好点的。
当男主深情的祈求你:拜托做我的主人吧。试问谁能拒绝，啊啊啊！赐我一个忠犬吧（关键还如此帅）
朴贤真导演真是个「处心积虑」的心机X。表面上傻白甜似的做了一出「以女性为Dom」的戏码，实则暗地里依旧是在影射男性Sub在BDSM中的主导地位。女性Dom看似生理上取得胜利的背后，内核依旧是为讨好男性Sub的「私欲」而成为被控制、被胁迫、被牵着鼻子走的对象而已。从上司审问一场戏即可看出其「夹带私货」的本质以及对男性的「满腔恶意」。情节不错的电影，但不能深究，否则会让人对导演的「动机不纯」感到反胃。
谁能想到有一天能看到少女时代的忙内演韩版“五十度灰”呢……
原本以为只是一般的性喜剧，没想到比预期好看很多，就是一部性/别教育片嘛！不仅科普了BDSM，还涉及职场性别权力关系、性骚扰、以SM的名义的强奸等议题，比起博眼球的《五十度灰》，这部没有什么劲爆床戏的小清新喜剧背后其实是对社会现实的反映。男女主都很可爱！
打着清色擦边球的sm题材片，但又放不开拍，网飞公司呐！也许是考虑男女主在韩国的偶像地位，总体上观感尚可，但没有亮点。
谁不想要一只男主那样的狗勾呢！带有SM元素的轻喜剧，唯一的遗憾是尺度不够大～
算是一次对小众题材不太成熟的尝试，细节方面东亚人比白人有表演天分多了
一段不舒适的关系就该终止，而双方都觉得舒适的关系里怎样都OK。
徐贤演s这不扯呢吗，她也不骚啊，多纯良的长相，当然我不是说s一定骚，我是说演这种角色要有反差，看徐贤甩鞭子那个勉强啊，这种角色一定要演出反差和狂浪，要不看个鬼
爱情轻喜剧，教育事业玩sm被公开，社会影响非常不好吧，真的能这么简单处理么。
谁不想要一只男主那样的狗勾呢！带有SM元素的轻喜剧，唯一的遗憾是尺度不够大～
少一星是因为过于理想化和科普式。但能同时做到又搞笑又性感还让人怦然心动，这个度但是把握得很妙，棒
网飞的套路越来越无聊了，选这个男主只是因为他的泪痣还挺特别的吧。
很甜，尺度不大，对sm偏向心理层面，俩人感情推进恰到好处，看完觉得DS对情感促进作用不小啊。
后半段完全变成了浪漫爱情片，前面的教学拍的挺好，画面挺有想法，男女主颜值也很高，还是值得看看的
