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.
220701 我竟然不觉得冗长，整个画面都很复古美，bgm也很有味道…是我喜欢的调调，虽然节奏很慢，但是对我来说很耐看…总而言之，gucci的家族形式的产业断送在一个女人的手里了… 就是有些剪辑的地方过度的不是很自然
Gaga的演技又进步了，但是Adam Driver的口音怎么不太稳定，有时候又是纯正的美国口音，还有他老演我讨厌的角色，上次是最后的决斗里的强奸犯，是导演都觉得他的长脸很有反派气质吗？
两个女孩毫无cp感，倒是叹息桥滤镜太厚意外看到另一个故事里小薇和李子勇doi了（误
光影摄影还是那味儿，但毕竟是个企业更迭杀夫妻子的主流八卦杂志故事，雷导放了些关怀进去，但有的时候还不如不放，干脆搞抓马节奏。不过那样也就不是雷导了。
无比厌恶鸭蛋司机这个演员...还是我嘎嘎姐表演出色。
我好喜欢前半段他们在一起的画面，喜欢就是不停地亲吻与触碰。
如果不是老雷子和帕西诺，我是绝对不会看Gaga的片子的，每一帧都让我生理不适。
小清新电影，两个女生从青涩高中时代的互生情愫，到社会后依然彼此相爱的故事！导演镜头感和渲染力很强，透着一股恬静般的忧伤！爱情永远是电影恒久的主题，用在女生之恋上亦叫人感动，虽然剧情很普通，但两位女主的演绎却很深情！片尾婚礼的场景，浪漫，感动又不免有些惋惜，哀伤！“只要你喜欢我，我喜欢你，没有了世界又如何？”
卡斯太强了，而我看完才知道怪眼熟的女主是Lady Gaga
雷德利·斯科特的家族传记，非常好的题材有一点浪费，Gaga和杰瑞德·莱托完美的表演，直到后面我才意识到Paolo是杰瑞德·莱托。
Gaga的演技又进步了，但是Adam Driver的口音怎么不太稳定，有时候又是纯正的美国口音，还有他老演我讨厌的角色，上次是最后的决斗里的强奸犯，是导演都觉得他的长脸很有反派气质吗？
小时代流....看到雷霆佳佳抱着情人哭又让她离开 我真是风晒干了沉默
这个故事也太无聊了，白搭了黄金阵容演员。 gucci家族没落的故事真的那么没意思吗？
内容还算饱满，不是特别有趣，但是整体的编排和演员的表演吸引人。前段按照GAGA大女主爽文的路子开展，从女主的视角去认识去了解GUCCI，很顺滑。从女主老公出轨要与女主离婚开始，完全抛开女主，单纯讲GUCCI，视角转变让故事有些割裂，最后还是回归到女主买凶杀夫。3.5//每个角色都有自己的个性，人生的起伏，唯独女主老公人设有些怪，他的背景很丰富（生在豪门、父母恩爱但父亲霸道、自己考律师等等），但前期作用仅仅是配合女主、突出女主，他出轨后好像有了个性就马上下线，整体呈现有些“傻白甜”，就不合理啊//GAGA表演很好，让人只能看到角色看不到她，脸还是微僵。//光是看里面人抽烟，看得我被呛到了
应该是导演的亲身经历吧，故事可以，但是拍得就比较漂浮，没有深入挖掘，滤镜太厚，人物塑造得内在驱动力不够，所以很多转折就显得生硬，以至于一直在感动与尴尬之间摇摆不定。片中很多台词还是不错的。
5分，太假了，不看导演我会以为这是直男拍的，只有流于表面的东西，甚至没有电影元素，最多只能算视频
港片狮子山下的源泉已然枯竭，新的创作热情仍然在摸索中。
《意难忘》意大利版，抓马的剧情，色调光影加了不少分，鳖女士虽然有不少习惯演技，但是进步不少
优缺点都很明显。表达情感够真挚，但技术及能力欠缺。花活太多没必要。李芯悦这个演员以后应该会出来，层次感表现的可以。三星
虽然本来期待不高，但这个阵容和这么好的故事全给浪费了，还是惊到我了
