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.
因为疫情察觉病情，却做不到共情。因为离职想起离婚，却忘不掉离人。大楼外的蓝色防水布，挡得住雨水，挡不住眼泪。牛排馆的超豪华音响，听得见优雅，听不见忧伤。火灾和水淹一同降临，似乎过去和现在总是水火不容。父爱和母爱一并消失，仿佛爱情和婚姻永远无法共存。表面平静的人，却在瀑布的重压下求生。对比《阳光普照》，钟孟宏做了减法，但收效甚微，正片的力道甚至不如预告片的一半。以疫情为切入点，划破中产婚姻的防水布，捉出一条奄奄一息的蛇：“为什么我要去承受你们的烂婚姻？为什么是我？！”随着女儿的一声声质问，父亲蜷缩在画右的角落里，像一只不敢大声鸣叫的蝉。用空间与色彩承接人物情绪的呈现与交替，再将母女的主观体验做一个置换，这些都是非常笨拙的东西，而且零散。瀑布的轰鸣声只存在于贾静雯呆滞的脸上，和观众之间隔着群山。
女性重新夺回身体选择权的一个经历，是如此的痛苦艰辛，用极为私人的视角进入展开故事。对于时代来说挺重要的，对于威尼斯挺平庸的
难道我们的身体不属于我们自己吗？
Ps，那个保姆阿姨，那个房产中介经理，还有卖场的主任，谢谢你们！
真的是觉得钟孟宏每次的故事都太假了，想讲的事情都特好，拍的也好，就是场景、人物都特别摆拍。为什么好好的现实主义题材，非要慢速播放。旁白搞的贾静雯的演技都消失了。半真不真，半假不假的节奏真的是要人命，看得人头疼。
“那是一种只攻击女性的病，让女性变成家庭主妇” 今日恐婚恐育+1
我会想办法好起来
四星都给女主角，感谢导演手持摄像机怼脸拍。她生于1940年，怀孕后首先寻求室友闺蜜的帮助，闺蜜却不敢给出任何建议，害怕沾上关系，这与片头安和闺蜜交换口香糖时那种亲密关系形成莫大讽刺。然后安寻找异性好友的帮助，异性好友却将怀孕当成最好的避孕措施，图谋不轨。安寻求男友的帮助，男友却声称自己也没办法，让安独自去面对事实。安在情绪不佳的状态下，家人不但没加以体谅，反而扇安一巴掌，认为安打乱了家人午后晒太阳的悠闲心情。无助的安将铁棒插入子宫，痛苦穿过屏幕传递给观众，可惜DIY堕胎失败了。在私人非法堕胎诊所，第一次手术，堕胎失败。第二次成功，可是回宿舍后大出血，紧急送医救治。救治成功后，“幸运”的她被判定自然流产，不用担负法律责任，依旧可以回归校园继续学习。然而又有多少女性可以免于意外怀孕而导致的生活脱轨呢？
《正发生》
女人的原罪是长了子宫。她承受了这么大的痛苦后，告诉你，她已经是最幸运的那一部分人了。
一种只会攻击女性的病，把女人变成家庭主妇的病
镜头stay on Anne 说什么和不说什么 特别immersive
3.我能想象在那样一个保守的时代一个女大学生意外怀孕了有多痛苦。男的只要爽一爽，女性要付出这么大的代价。。。
身体政治是女主角最后的防线和底限。当片头她的课堂回答像个男性一样的口吻时，全片最狠的人物形象已经在不经意间给立了起来。2021年度最佳没有之一，其次才是世界上最糟糕的人。
全程怼女主拍 镜头和故事都比较单调 没啥兴趣。
1968还是2022？#正发生#计生协：今年开展未婚人群人工流产干预行动
好痛好痛好痛好痛 不知道为什么无限次代入自己 想着不论在不在堕胎合法的社会都不能乱搞…太痛了…
结合现实，名字更讽刺了。但不明白女主为什么做不到剪断脐带。如果女人不能掌握子宫的使用权，那只能说，希望消灭性、消灭性别、人造子宫。
除却被完整呈现的身体之痛(及一小点欢愉)，正发生似乎并没有表达更多，无论是文学课内外的小心指代，还是羞于启齿的女性性话题。少女不愿人生被怀孕拖垮，儿戏的男性们，都是脸谱化的，毫无上下文，即便脱胎于一本autofiction的小说。
