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.
法国现今电影的弊端就是剧本叙事不行，立意还可以。
能以全手绘风格耗如此成本制作一部oad真是太少见，虽说不看漫画完全看不懂，但是依旧被绝美震撼。动画特有的，朴素归真的。一切真人电影竭力也无法达到的表现力。在林间的道路上，外化为树木。撕开胸口瞥见的一汪清泉。乃至清晨的大雾与阳光。每一处生活中的灵感都能被画者放大，展开，以不属于真实世界的美丽构建出那些美丽灵魂的故事。
太无聊了，疫情造成的隔离作为一个大前提，没有做任何深挖，呼唤爱与真善美，可惜都不走心，喊喊得了
两个小孩长得真俊 那个鼻咽拭那么长也太恐怖了，都要捅到后脑勺了吧。。。
笑晕，疫情众生相，虽说美化太多，但是也很人性化。
这个世界不知道还会不会好了……丹尼太适合这种神经质了，就像前几年的吝啬鬼
结尾有点莫名其妙 故事压缩的太猛了 但是画风动画超好看。experimental的部分还是成功的
在巴黎，很真实。是第一次隔离时才会有的笑与泪，现在早已不复存在。
humanity! 另外这种楼真的很巴黎 跟上海的弄堂很像 那隔音。。。
观感有些割裂，不过有一处我非常喜欢的表达：先生以爪剖开自己的躯体，希瓦伸入双手，一捧盈蓝的液体在她手心闪烁。
非常好玩又有爱的一栋公寓楼，每家看起来都好舒服。不能出门真的会疯。
小女孩与小男孩这对好可爱啊
Franchement j'aime pas 好俗的小品
真的很法国，不是刻板印象，之前好奇会怎么拍隔离生活，后来看真的有反抗者，对疫苗质疑，动物实验的阴暗面，出门找各种理由。哈哈哈哈。影子秀很戳很好玩，没有刻意大团圆很棒，生活不是事事顺心，他们晚八点鼓掌是真的敬意，医疗工作者，隔离期间生活工作上的不顺.......换一个角度看问题。
喜与悲，也有温情，人类一定要团结，要迈过现在暂时的分裂。
是真的很好笑。那种胡闹的幽默。展现了隔离时不同的人群：过渡防护的，完全不当一回事的，被迫转行的，改变经营方式的Etc.虽然但是，他们还是不戴口罩啊？没有社交距离啊？于是在温馨的落脚点里，楼管妻子还是去世了，告诉你，这一切都是真的。
观感有些割裂，不过有一处我非常喜欢的表达：先生以爪剖开自己的躯体，希瓦伸入双手，一捧盈蓝的液体在她手心闪烁。
法式偷情。。。
非常好玩又有爱的一栋公寓楼，每家看起来都好舒服。不能出门真的会疯。
因为焦虑病毒，把老婆赶出家门；健身教练开始狂吃棉花糖和奶油；跋扈的楼上大哥180度大转变；小男孩与小女孩的影子kiss可爱极了；疯狂医生与猫……结局悲伤却又温情。为了纪念，为了治愈。
