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.
刚刚看完 有点泪目了 青春的样子我好怀念啊 那种很多人为了同一个目标 不去管什么意义不意义 认定了就一往直前的样子真美啊 你只能被自己定义
两星半。还是没逃出捧偶像小生的路子。还没看原版。
819 十年前我大概会问为什么，现在自己会抢答了，问什么问。有没有火花，用眼睛能看到
看完发现自己果然还是喜欢青春片啊！成长好难啊，男主演的蛮好的，特别是让人觉得可怜的部分。音乐都跟好听！
缺点可能是BGM过多过滥
从陌路到陌路的回环自然诞生了这个叙事结构，截取片段避开了冲突却又在回应上一个片段。到了序幕一句“反正也不会再见面了吧”一如我们的终章。
3.5；两段式结构揭示的是一种在河流中被如何被湮没的回想（这种流动感与车厢穿行于城市的运动感是一致的），倒叙的回忆呈现宛如将情感的重任逐渐剥离，愈接近结尾则愈发显得轻盈——甚至让我们再次感叹每一个开端为何如此美好，而每一次结束却又为何这般沉重，我们如何在情感的困缚中葆有自己，如何常怀自如的姿态去面对彼此，如何在感情关系中保持实现自我追求与满足对方期待的平衡。
虽然啊，故事挺简单的，还有些偷懒的感觉，但这样的结构方式，反而让人怅然若失，一声叹息，是喜欢的感觉。用四幕的方式解构了四个时期，不刻意很真实，倒叙的让人心疼。每年的那个时候，稍微想起一些，就稍微想起那么一些，然后再继续生活，很多人应该都会这样吧。
观影效果特别好
本片的靈感來源於賈木許的《地球之夜》，和《花束般的戀愛》那種以分手戀人回塑往事，回憶中感概愛情悲歡離合的遺憾有異曲同工之妙。編導雖然是致敬賈木許，但卻別出機抒，把東京新冠疫情低迷氣氛的艱難日子中卻能不卑不亢，自求我道的努力生存的狀態套進故事中，變成一部自然而接地氣的小品習作。
7分。原来整个男子花样游泳队都有社交牛逼症啊哈哈。我觉得还挺好的，青春片就应该这么拍。还有片尾曲很好听。
比较工整的青春片，虽然情节有些老套，但是看得出是认真拍的，不是为了捞一笔钱而已，但要说有多好那确实也有点撒谎，艺术创作也有通货膨胀，也必须推陈出新。
地球之夜我可不想永远做个司机迷影梗融化在笑语里。追灯变暗瞳孔睁大。第三次回到疫情之前没有口罩。猫的头像第一次知道他们的关联。一直盼望镜头转回时床上多了一个人。忌日与生日重叠。同一空间在不同时间中被赋予了多重意义。舞蹈无声背后鱼群游动。追光灯下舞蹈笑脸相视真的心碎。倒叙手法巧妙稀释了离散的悲剧性，回忆从争执到邂逅先苦后甜，探索了一种对新的理解爱情方式。男主角坐在地铁口眼神游离各色路人听到各种对话，此时电影与现实不存在明显界限。女主角沙哑的声音在争执中更显冷酷，也让我稍微想起了一点她奇怪的嗓音。
本土青春体育片能拍出这种水准，是不是已经是天花板了？！
影片本身只能给三星半吧，煽情段落做得工整，但剧情波折略显刻意。为难得的运动题材加半星，为国产青春片难得的昂扬向上的立意加半星，为素人演员加半星
好久没看过这么好看的电影了 类型片 讲故事 拍的非常有风格 节奏张力都特别好 表演很真实不做作代入感很强 导演拍摄手法太棒了 国产精品电影+1 孩子们都棒棒的 未来可期！！
一直到了最终，才感受到，我们无法成为大人，留在身体里记忆里和灵魂里的，全是脆弱和稚嫩
嗯，7.4，作为翻拍，是有诚意的，虽然已经脱离我对当下高中生的认识，结尾很日式热血，即使没看过原版也能感受到。缺些搞笑的魂，和多了些生硬的套路。
剧情什么的其实挺老套的，但是青春呀！
算是国产青春片中的优秀之作，但是遗憾还是有的。比如演员们的胸大肌……按照设定，大家都不是职业运动员并且还都是半路出家，那么这肌肉水平是不是太超过了？
