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.
只能说失望大于期望。全篇只有高中毕业合唱部分值得看，全场最佳是钢琴。剧情逻辑和三观离大谱，设定很好但你不能这么拍呀！没看过原著，但电影的一些台词真的很难不让人怀疑编剧是有多么迂腐老套。卡司不错，但咩酱下次接点靠谱的电影吧。也是让我惊叹于能拿蓝丝带能提名日奥......（没有说咩酱演技不好的意思，就是这电影实在拉胯）之前还以为花束般的恋爱算是合格的电影，能拿日奥最佳还以为是意外。现在看来想当不意外了。
一个温情底色的故事。如此奉献的母爱真的很少。三个爸爸都那么好，也只有石原这样的美貌能够做到吧。
蛮好看的，有感动到，女主前期造型更好一些，烫头发老气了点没那么灵动就，演技不错啦，为（剧情强行合理化）妈妈（阻止父女相认）的行为减去一颗⭐
骚瑞，就是泪点很低，就喜欢这样的片子，哪怕梗很不现实，但有温暖就足够了。
怎么说呢，因为原著还得了奖，所以原以为剧情不会这么差的。强行催泪真不行啊。
我好土，虽然真的很梦幻很假，但我就喜欢这种happyending。说句题外话，能不能让永野芽郁和小九去演另外一部好结局的花束恋爱？我看他们也可以！
哭咩确实很美，但也不能尽用哭咩的镜头往上顶啊。。。三星给咩
看到一半才领悟故事线。没想到最后面的部分才是感人的地方。原本以为十元只是个不想养小孩的懒惰妈妈，结果最后完全被感动到。
#日系治愈#咩酱好可爱，仙女落泪好美丽，演出了讨好的面具和温柔的底色。十元很适合演渣女，不过笑容真的看累了= =田中圭是跟好嫁风锁死了吗？已经先后成为juri、gakki、原田知世还有十元的前男友/被渣的老公了，新一季又双叒叕搭juri，可以，很强。前半段子役和咩酱分开叙述然后并线的表达还是很好的，结尾扣题接力棒未免太强行。总之咩酱可爱！
“只要保持笑容 就会有大把的幸运从天而降”
看完了一脸懵比，啊哈？！就这？！闹呢，啥价值观啊
哎明明是老套又过于理想化的剧情 还是骗走了老阿姨的眼泪 石原真是永远fashion 永野芽郁越看越好看
前面还好，后面就感觉怎么这么长啊……不知道是不是因为冈田本人的原因，现在看他就觉得很是腻……
因为不现实，所以感动也挺感动的，服道化都挺可以的，演技也是很行，但是人物的出场和最后一段的解释总是很别扭。
剧情很烂，还隐隐透露着女性只能靠依附男性生存的价值观，只能给咩十元和那个可爱的小子役打星了
「卿何如我？」「我與我周旋久，寧作我。」如果被社會和人際所接納的，完全是另一個我的話，對生存意義的倫理拷問就變得尖銳棘手，那我還要「寧作我」，還是索性讓渡所有意味著「意義」的社會身分屬性？如果拼盡全力換來的也不過是一個根本不接納自我的環境，會不會就陷在環島逆行道上永遠無法動彈？PS：醫生的英式口音真的好討打⋯⋯
不过中间确实有的剧情让人觉得太理想了，找的两个后爸人也太好了，但凡有一个心眼坏点或者自私的，优子的人生就没这么顺利了，尤其我觉得后妈找新爸爸的标准有点草率。
是为了咩和十元两位美女才存在的电影吧，抛开两位美女，毫无逻辑。
每个人都在生命中寻找着自己缺失的那一块拼图，有人自私，有人无私，每个选择都会让我们得到些什么，却又会失去些什么。或许我们永远无法找到让我们完整的那一角，但在这个过程中，我们会把珍视的东西传递下去。
和天鹅挽歌相同题材，天鹅是看了半小时点❌，这部是1.5倍速看完但心里很不舒服。看天鹅的时候就不明白为什么要斥巨资克隆自己，死都死了还管什么身后事，连生她养她的亲生母亲都只想要体贴懂事的克隆人，真是讽刺
