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.
这是现在lgbt电影公式化的结局吗？和剧情发展好像两码事，故事加了宗教因素并没有多一重色彩，反而像为了be而存在。
BE可以，但为了BE而BE就没必要
not gonna let me go？💔💔
最喜欢的三幕：饭桌上祈祷时的对视，电影院去洗手间的背影，在隔间的拥抱。啊女孩子真的太美啦！
指尖的触碰和流连，来自背后的拥抱，落在颈间的吻……小细节总是很打动人。宗教笼罩之下的爱向来很难有好的结局，有时候真是痛恨这些人类自己制造出来的枷锁，但我还是愿意相信最后是he，她们会一起离开那里，去看意大利小镇的钟楼上长出的橡树。
当你相信的东西明显束缚你的时候为什么还要自欺欺人呢？宗教洗脑太可怕了，就是骗女性牺牲自己的人生去繁衍后代。
放在暑期档，它好过今年所有青春片。但挪到国庆档，被大片夹击下就显得困境重重。全片看下来，笑声不断、泪点直击，5个少年的纯粹和自然，在当下国产片中属于惊喜之作，没有堕胎等狗血情节，拍出了国产青春励志片应有的样子，而它不该只有这点评分和票房。全国最重名的队长张伟，窝囊又软弱，出淤泥而染全身，基本功和绝活都离他很远。但当他在医院自责痛哭流涕说“我就想练花泳，太南了，我这个队长没当好”时，慈母心突然泛滥，心疼死。最后腾空而跃的后空翻，就像莲花出世的哪吒一样灿烂发光。平凡的少年，生活再不好不坏、不上不下，但孤独的路上一定有风，不是只有惊天动地才辉煌。看不到太多日本原版的影子，感触是另一部《跳出我天地》。“蝈蝈妈”可以笑一年。
前面真的很平平啊，就向每个宗教拉拉电影一样。每次亲的时候我都在想，get a room! 锁门啊，下一秒就怕被人撞见..还有jamie 长的好像rose Leslie?.....后面二十多分钟真的爆哭,升华了的感觉..最后结局算开放式结局吧， I have read it for like a million times and i think about you all the time , about us....Do you? Every day....Not gonna let me go? No........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marike说要和男人结婚的理由那里我简直奥特曼抠哈脑壳jpg 这种限制人自由的洗脑宗教是邪教吧 Jaime即将毕业 有了新女友 去了一直想去的欧洲 而Marike生完孩子以后看着火速憔悴苍老 Marike有没有哪刻后悔过当年的自己选择了这样的人生
不婚不育 永葆青春…Marika最后得到想要的答案又有什么意义呢 即使是心里想要的 也已经回不去了 不要妥协啦！
宗教的设计像是个命题 比起违命轻松的多 在两个人感情的处理上非常纯粹自然 这点确实不错
即使命运难测 我们走上殊途 即使信仰不同 你为信仰牺牲自己和我们的爱情 我们的爱延续着 爱比真理永恒
teenager love我可以给四星，但是后面尤其结尾好拉胯。仿佛一下给我拉回百吐之前女友当初抛弃我结婚生子以后找到我说还爱我，要不要和好？真的是，在评论人人劝快逃的路子好吗。如果有人为这个情节感动，我拜托以后百吐出现类似投稿都别再劝分了，您可不就爱看这一套吗hhh
Jaime真得很大狗狗 哭的时候最可爱
很老套的剧情 但感情的演绎还是很细腻的 因为本人对一些信仰相关的东西着实是接受无能 无法理解 甚至会感到一丝恐惧 而且 同性➕宗教禁忌这两个元素的结合着实有些腻了 所以 just 给3🌟吧
究竟为什么2022年了还要拍这种压抑的，隐忍的女同性恋爱情…身为一个姬佬，在我眼里，这两个人真的一点火花都没有。女同性恋什么时候能换个形象出现在大屏幕上？
最终还是没有跨越宗教的阻拦
宗教题材 感觉禁忌介入很浅 剧情一般 画面和配乐可以 女主好帅！
很好看，多一星鼓励，一定要去看这个夏天的故事。
信仰不同怎么相爱……明明是两个世界的人，最好还是let her go吧
