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.
作为一个院线级剧场版，结果剧情表现力和文本感染力却还不如原本的静态文本ppt，足以说明这部做得有多拉了。
平平无奇。医生那里演出真的不太行，还是建议游戏……
给三星以上的那些人，那滤镜有啤酒瓶底那么厚吧？？
敷衍，像交作业。完全没有游戏里推终章带来的那种感动
靠着情怀加一星，虽然说有请不起声优的原因，但是有的声优是同一个也好像没有用起来，不太懂资金问题，但是这么嗨的大场面被做的这么平淡不应该只是没钱请声优的问题，电影节奏分镜难咎其辞，还是打游戏燃啊……不过真的很爱贞德呜呜呜
不知道是演技还是编剧问题 有点尴尬有点青涩 anyway 青春真好
画面很美 男女主很对我胃口 剧情简单但不单调 看起来很舒服的小甜剧
总是在你觉得这一段很美剧情很不错的时候，马上来个不知所云的剧情🤷♀️
吵吵闹闹的爱情轻喜剧我是欢迎的，本片女主亮眼，但内容上实在过于匮乏，没有爆点，只有满目的虚无。然后，我看到了我想要的。美国家庭问题，我已经不知道我看了有多少部美国电影了，但是我可以说，看过的大部分电影，只要出现美国家庭，过半不是已经离婚，就是在离婚的路上，并且各种另结新欢。
看一半看不下去了，剧情好无聊，女主说话嘴巴太奇怪了，扭扭捏捏比bella swan有过之而不及
要是我十八岁的夏天也在海边遇见不一样的自己那也太棒了吧！
一起穿上礼服骑上自行车去海边
想过夏天，哪怕拖着我肥胖的身躯🥺 终于看到Kate Bosworth演电影了，和街拍一样美
好普通...学妹和医生的两段都不如游戏来得震撼，三分给演讲的贞德、劳模组长和露脸的月球男友女友们（你但凡多让他们说几个字我都多打一星了
九十分钟全英灵出场部分果然还是太短了，大多数是哑巴也能理解但是总能请几个吧！燃点不足盖提亚台词太多，整体显得流水账，最终章本身剧本就这个样子做成剧场版也还不错中二幻想定时满足。
看到如此多的英灵出场，还是有点小激动的，但也仅此而已。
爱和希望的故事”
表现力甚至不如游戏的cg，制作上也就三星，fgo的情感加成加一星
纯粉丝向的作品，游戏的篇幅是很长的，体验更好、更燃、更感动，剧场版改编，看完后感觉也是尽力了，受时长影响，很多地方的表达其实很跳跃，若非游戏老粉，看着会很奇怪。但是动作场面还是不错，就是英灵齐聚那幕确实没有游戏有感染力。
绷不住了，到底懂不懂观众想看什么啊（）退一万步说，就算你不做成情怀向宝具集锦嘉年华，你这戏它拍得好吗？？医生的台词，盖提亚的台词，第四之兽，还有没配音的群演……有没有短板另说，你扪心自问有高光吗？？？三波英灵战糟蹋成什么样了啊救命
