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.
虽然是他带领她走出性的囹圄，但最终高潮是她自己给的，她的美丽也是自己找回的
“找到你的快乐，并尊重它”——为了寻找那期待已久的人生“性高潮”55岁的寡居的她招了一个20多岁的帅哥开房与自己享受那瞬间完美。这是一部“做”而论道的电影🎦——网盘下载外挂字幕第一刷。
如果没有后半段这只是一个三星作品 就是一个更思辨英伦风满足我们幻想的东西 只是提供乐趣的对象变成了男人 但有了后半段 这就是一部有人文关怀 坦诚的两性关系讨论素材 介于童话和现实之间 因为我实在不相信30岁以前的男人会懂女人overthink的魅力并把她拆解并一一化解 30岁后的男人懂但overthink此时在他们这里就不那么有魅力了 这就是男性或者人类的悖论/无论如何安抚 无论如何解释 还是觉得这种纯为愉悦和幻想 转瞬即逝的关系有过于残忍的一面 但又要承认性满足过于强大 能挖掘出人自己都不了解的一面 让人做之前从未想过会做的事情/整部电影最感人的不是高潮也不是俩人对话 而是看到魔鬼身材的男主 背面全裸 屁股上的stretch mark 太抚慰人心了 对话简直是人类学培养范本 我应该考虑转行
女主的尝试是新观念向旧观念的挑战,也是人性的觉醒和胜利。性,欲望,衰老,原生家庭,直面自我，剧本精巧。
一个用精巧结构包装的中产幻想故事。内核与其说是「性」，不如说是「面对真实的自我」与「接纳可能性」。此剧的优点是表演与对话，问题在于，为了不使观众感到厌恶，它设置的主角都高度「安全」和「模范」——一位是让人容易同情、生活在无趣丈夫阴影下的善良妇女，一位是从外形到技巧都无可挑剔的卖春小伙，他们的性交易不会让人感到半点不适，相反愉悦而美好。但就是在这样对于性交易的滤镜化呈现中，性爱中那些带刺的成分都被一一剔除，那些我们自我的分裂、破碎、毒性，那些摇摇欲坠的、不规范的、埋藏在人心深处的暗面，在这种洁净化的关系中被轻而易举地悬置，于是它成了一种舒适区内的反思，一个不会有错的情感高潮，但恰恰搁置了所有与主角相比不那么「模范」的人，他们在「接纳自我」中面对的复杂处境。因此，电影最终成为一朵不带刺的玫瑰。
题材，细节，男主的脸和身材，女主的演技，小空间内的张力。
go find your own pleasure and chase it without shame!
很有趣，讲述一个退休教师，寡妇鼓起勇气斥巨资请来一位高帅的性工作者完成之前在婚内从没有实现的性探索。
i want that service too
议题并不新鲜，昆德拉在《不能承受生命之轻》中早就讨论过了。世俗生活要求的爱，和身体本能想要的性，本来就是很难合二为一的存在吧，只是大多数都觉得它们可以。
你还是需要攒一笔钱，去完成一次越级的消费，才能突破边界。
影片三星半 艾玛老师五星 接受淫欲 接受快乐 接受自己 能不能请科林费尔斯拍个男版
结局太俗了，嫖客就喜欢人生救赎，不分男女；还不如老阿姨逐渐变态，两个人弄死一个呢。
其实一般这种台词电影我是很难看下去的，但是剧本太工巧了，我一直在看要怎么推进两者的关系又不显得无聊或刻意，但事实就是做得都很好，最后上升的爱自己的身体这个点也很好
很好。预设心碎的小bitch是真的很男性piao客思维了。真身暴露对任何人来说都是冲击但实际上也不会造成伤害，反而是另一种刺激，接受再试探再努力真诚，伤害也会转化为活力。清单和贝基都很可爱。母子线很真实。汤普森也真是强。
1、追求愉悦，是人的本能。
Nancy人肉Leo的行为实则是一种生活中四处存在的道德边界感缺失的现象，导演细述了Nancy产生这种行为的背景与她心中的渴望，同时又剖开了Leo这位性工作者的过往，予以了不同的人平等且包容的凝视，从而将这种道德审判讨论引向对现实的反思。
很长一段时间内，我不仅从不会在镜中直视自己的身体，也不敢在影视中正视演员们老去的身体。哪怕是现在，我不再害怕老去但依然对自己的身体抱有微妙的感觉。啊...这该死的自我厌恶感...
leo的眼睛真的太好看了！那些对话慢慢抽丝剥茧出面具下的两个人。Emma这个真的是登峰造极的表演...啊~pleasure~
see people, pay respect, learn to be honest to yourself.
