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.
美国少年心事，雁过留痕，情事青春留。罕见的印度裔美少年，非常迷人。
单纯看了颜值 戳爷真的太好看了 少年感👍🏻印度小哥也很可爱 可是为什么这么渣
隐隐约约露出了一些等待期的恐惧，希望大家都能在检测完之后感谢上天不杀之恩「不是感染之后活不下去的意思」
“Define sex.”
“你永远不会吓到我的 凯莱布 尽管你一直这么做”奶奶这句话最打动我了。在所有的情感中 我最需要的 大概是这样的感觉。
男人如衣服，姐妹如手足。 虚惊一场、曾经拥有，夏天就这样过去了。 （插曲好听！Troye 演技也那么棒！真是我的宝藏男孩）
“你永远不会吓到我的 凯莱布 尽管你一直这么做”奶奶这句话最打动我了。在所有的情感中 我最需要的 大概是这样的感觉。
连初吻的地点都一样
故事其实挺残酷的，但拍得很轻巧，导演竟然是一个完全的新人，主演特洛耶希文对我而言，也完全是新人，从没看过他之前任何作品，但表演真是不错。顺便一提，影片的音乐也很棒，非常契合夏天
看腻了好莱坞熟悉的那一套打法，回头看下俄罗斯电影，值得思考！
这马卡龙色的青春啊～戳爷这戏里戏外都有点感慨
剧情比较平淡，但是意外地让人很想看下去。印度小哥好帅，两个人的暧昧是最激动人心的部分。开放的结局也很好，点明了主题
这是一部集合友情，爱情的夏日故事。电影本身略显无聊，节奏少有拖沓。
我戳美翻啦 片头阳光海岸骑车的复古画面太🍵了 虽然被剧透bl线be了 但这部就是戳美颜纪录片而已吧 希望戳多下海 毕竟🍵已经上岸了 ps trouble 太好听了 海滩戏🖐🏻️⭐
troye多演演电影吧
化学反应基本没有的样子。对戳鹅的喜爱度和他的正经程度似乎负相关
蛮好看的诶 自然的感觉 虽然结尾有点点遗憾哈哈不过这也是真实生活的感觉吧！
C+ 蛮俗套的剧情，还是会略引起观众的小感动～全片最喜欢原声trouble响起时两人在海滩嬉闹的场景. 只是拍法和台本还是太单调清新(??)，戳爷和男二cp感几乎为零，还不如大母0⃣️的单人戏.
美国青春甜水艾滋小片片，戳爷太像寡姐了，感觉黑寡妇在强吻三哥
如果是想看谈恋爱啦或者看更深刻的东西
