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.
画面质感很好，情节紧凑，各角色的演技都很好
演员挺好的，整个剧情沉稳压抑的一点也不热血
这个妈妈真的好可怕也好辛苦，压抑生活下的扭曲，强迫自己永远优雅微笑，一丝一毫都袒露在视野中，这种营业是给自己的寄托但是却深深伤害着女儿。阴暗的种子藏起来慢慢孵化，另一个自己完成了所有的恶意，小女孩太可怜了，讨好妈妈对抗自己，善良乖僻的自己就这样被杀死了。（破壳反刍真的恶心到我了）
剧情丰富，起承转合。时长较长，中间剧情稍有些平，可能是为了铺垫。
又过了2个月，莫比亚斯被逮捕。
3。虽然摆脱了一点程式化，演员也很用力，但是导演拍的乱，葬送了
节奏凌乱；剧情乖张；逻辑脑残。人物刻画如流水账一样生硬。这些都没关系。但它还想和你讲一个"深刻"的故事，这就很尴尬了。
第一次看韩国黑帮题材 我觉得蛮好的啊 也蛮热血的
小女孩的演技是真的好，本片教育意义大于恐怖片本身，建议那些虎妈狼爸观看。
去过釜山，想看看片中釜山的风景。片子着实有些一般，故事、节奏等都有不少问题，看得人不来情绪。
更重要的是，这个由“恶”所形成的孩子会做到所有善良的孩子所不能做到的。
黑吃黑，要么沉底，要么登顶。配乐挺好的，演员选的，没特点
北欧风格的恐怖故事。女孩另一半黑暗的自我，破壳重生了。
一点也没看出来热血在哪里，叫这名字的意思大概是“缺啥补啥”？
小女孩又漂亮又善良 演得不错 可以说妈妈才是怪胎 撞方向盘那里淋漓尽致…妈妈她心中只有自己
小女孩孵化一只鸟，鸟越来越像小女孩，最后替代小女孩，故事概念有点意思，但人物设置和剧情发展很刻意，剪辑和恐怖桥段技法也很一般，6.1
漫威的片，口碑好or口碑差，在观感上的区别真不大。 男二一直偷窥女主，还以为要走狗血爱情的戏码，结果在女主挂之后，男二对男主说，只剩下我们俩了……
男主还是有光环的，剧情需要定不会让他轻易挂掉。看着男主一点点转变上位，也看到他经历了感情的春天和严冬，还丧失了个好儿子。帮派间，都是利益冲突，人心的欲望催动着一切。
我不知道故事在讲啥，希沭也不知道到底怎么回事，总之就是乱，杂乱。
