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.
主角完全长在审美点上 满屏的肉体就很美好 but又是一部无病呻吟的作品😅 看脸看肉就好了
非常难笑的一部喜剧，为了男主还是硬看完了，全剧也就男同主线是好看的，其他的就很没必要
好看
找的几个点都挺好的。。三条线叙事也不乱，人物关系挺有意思的。。
这种气氛和主题的内容还是适合日剧来实现；有些地方得有足够的空间来发展小气氛，而不是靠演员的嘴巴来抖出最重要的戏份：比如，出柜的小帅哥是何时何地何种情境下莫名爱上了知名大作家，不然那份感情只能是自以为是、莫名其妙了
电影就像是个超长的小品，有几个地方还挺好笑，只是剧本故事平铺直叙，不过起码不让人尴尬，这点就很好了，半夜看那些烤串，我好饿
结局已经很明白了非不点透。。。好吧
中年躁郁症大叔的二三事。（世间什么事物永不过时？答：Leo叔的脸。曾经的小鲜肉已经有皱纹了，但每一道皱纹都那么美。）
从来没有体会过面对濒临失控的生活的体会 所以不是很有共鸣 也不敢去太过深入的去揣摩男主的想法
开场的感觉很好，慢慢的发觉男主角这个人物的心理层次不清晰，基本上就是原地打转的状态，到了第三幕，用死亡，打架和争吵这些套路化的情节来处理人物的问题，强行让人物转变，显得不够真诚，导演套路化的给出一个情境，下一秒就立刻解决了问题。不过莱昂纳多·斯巴拉格利亚这次的表演够卖力了，直接泳池边甩Dior摇摆，大叔人到中年还是这么美，不明白为什么他身边的小鲜肉瞧不上他，帅成这样有什么可中年危机的，太不科学了，他这种外型来演这种角色，我不信。
表面是热浪翻涌，实际在深海处是一片孤寂，圣地亚戈看似像火一样热情的生命力，给我感觉却像在一点点枯萎，看的过程好紧张，好怕最后这根弦崩了。世上只有妈妈好啊，妈妈说“你和你爸爸不一样”，太感动了，是啊，他或许搞砸了很多事，可是他确实是个好爸爸，背负着童年的伤痕真的是太致郁了，可是他不一样，他不是那个全篇没出镜却时刻让片里好多角色窒息的存在。过去无法改变，未来犹未可知，可是这一次他坚定的说出“我会一直在这里等着你”。全片的节奏感很好，背景音乐很赞，我头回看人全裸半天唱着careless whisper的，也是头回看到在大提琴的背景音乐下蹦迪的，那种狂欢下的孤独对比冲击太强了。Leo50岁还是帅的，标志笑容还是那么迷人，从烈焰焚币开始就给我就下了阿根廷男人很帅的印象。
莱昂纳多依然帅爆——50往上了….演技是真的好，每帧对脸拍的表情细节真实、令人共情，本子弱了点….这样的人生困境时时都有，不分肤色地区，不要太清醒，跟着感觉走就是了……3星
不过是想要个安稳的生活，怎么那么难
Stop drinking and get a life.
女性导演视角完美的诠释了什么是「细腻」的创作。剧本扎实，节奏非常稳。主线清晰明快，人物性格鲜明。除主线外的多线分支也饱含极强的戏剧冲突与喜剧效果。可见导演在人物关系处理上下足了心思，几场激烈的大戏（客厅厮斗与雨中狂奔）也异常出彩。现在的世界太缺喜剧了，尤以涵盖LGBT元素之喜剧更是少之又少。电影远超预期，年度精品。
分数低估了影片的价值。 一出看似混乱的闹剧，真实体现出的是走到中年面对的一地鸡毛。一层讲关系，爱与被爱，互相伤害又再彼此安慰。再一层，致敬《阿飞正传》，并完美展现社会责任，提升对同性群体的关注。影片结尾，一切变了，一切又都没有变，真实的人生，总是要迈步前进继续着一切。 男主和男配小gay以及儿子的演技精湛，难以想象是女导演拍了部男性群像，对于女性角色捎显粗略，唯有女邻居的设置，有略微点到一些韩国社会的性别议题。
迎接新生活的毕业生（们？）虽然精力旺盛，也没有比社畜有意思，那些空想没意思，那些聚会没意思，那些欲望也没啥意思，总之白天，黑夜，黎明，出轨，奔跑，朋友都让人乏味，或许这是导演想表达的？

前任拒绝听他的倾诉。
最后 他从大厂辞职了
