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.

“宇宙是让死亡渺小的东西” 打中了我的灵魂
别整这六十岁老男审美了行吗？这老少配对手戏还看得下去？007会变老但007旁边的美女却永远不会？
就突然想到小时候的梦想是成为宇航员，自己眼中的第一个英雄是杨利伟。但不曾想过这个浪漫而又伟大的职业背后，有这样一群人的奉献。航天是我国从0到1的行业，发展的每一小步都可能有人在牺牲。新中国成立以来，因为国际环境的因素，我国大多的行业发展都是从0到1，而这些行业背后都有那么一群默默奉献的人。再联想到国外如今对国内的封锁，我们国家某些行业（高端制造业）所遭遇的困境，仍旧有人在默默努力，虽然自己做不到一丝丝贡献，但至少觉得自己以后也确实不应该再把躺平挂在嘴边了。
拍得其实挺好玩的，也能体现当时的ggkf，这几年来社会的日新月异。可惜当时的广告是ggkf，现在是无孔不入的zbzy
To the Daniel Craig era of James Bond
能不能不要再做微电影拼盘儿了？短片不能当作电影啊，没情感铺垫没有故事递进真的不行啊亲们。求求了
吴京一如既往，章子怡最惊艳，徐峥和沈腾笑不活了。
很难想象是怎么拍到这么长的。。。160分钟简直犯罪，而且古巴场景的安娜小姐姐那么好看戏份居然才那么点。邦德死了，以后007就进入全面zzzq时代了，不知道何去何从。
为什么？？？？编剧你告诉我为什么？？？？？这个结局我不能接受！！！！
诗＞鸭先知＞乘风=少年行。1⃣️诗真的太好了！完全意想不到的惊喜！黄轩章子怡包括小演员都演的很好，只不过后边海清跟陈道明的镜头很突兀，很容易出戏！2⃣️前面的两个单元都比较沉重所以鸭先知出来的时候，带来了很多欢乐，影院里大家都笑呵呵的，轻松诙谐，中规中矩。3⃣️乘风，在乘风被敌人打死后之前的所有，都很好，屏幕上出现（三个月后）之后的剧情很拉垮，我个人无法理解为什么骑兵团都背着枪却拿着刺刀往前冲，死了一波又一波人，为什么不选择开枪？也无法理解吴京演的团长在中弹后还能有力气骑马拿着刺刀捅进敌军的身体并且穿透。4⃣️开心麻花式喜剧，我个人总觉得有点扯哈。。除此之外，鸭先知和少年行里边，都有班级同学嘲笑起哄围攻一个同学的场景，我不太喜欢用这样的方式来突出主人公。
认真讲：最终还是选择牺牲一次午睡来赶上老朋友的送别仪式，事实证明是值得的。你要问我两个半小时多看得舒服吗，我是舒服的；但你要问我电影好看吗，那我只能回答，基本上是不好看的。唯二让我能给予正面评价的：一个是安娜德阿玛斯让人直呼不过瘾的短暂登场；另一个是邦德非要爬上高台脸接导弹的挺拔身姿。当然这两个部分和整个电影一样，同样充斥着槽点。但007系列就是这样，你非说它离谱，那就当它是超英片好了。我喜欢的不是它的离谱，而是它所展现的英国男人自我陶醉的高大形象，是面对枪林弹雨的从容，是面对临时搭档的优雅，是坦然赴死时的决断。很假，但确实很迷人
即便带着粉丝滤镜去看，也难掩失望。本以为在一片骂声和质疑中，用15年光阴塑造出一个有血有肉的特工形象的Daniel，会有一个更令人深刻的谢幕。可惜，在他最后的时刻里，我发现我连眼泪都哭不出，这让我更难过。
Bond ! James Bond ！

日升月落
第二高亮是诗片尾的诗。
还是冷战老思路，不过老观众就吃这一套。最后怎么007都有孩子了，老了沧桑了。古巴妹那一小段很惊艳。
我看评论很多人对鸭先知无感，但我个人觉得这个题材真的很棒。敢为人先，多么美好的品质啊。
章子怡导演的诗这一单元是意外收获，很好，徐峥反而没有达到期待值。其他一般，沈腾单元靠好笑整体还不错，吴京单元强行热血强行煽情像一篇小学生优秀作文。
