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.
不太符合实际吧，放在属于爽剧，蒂芙尼的女儿性格不错，长得也好看，但是女主为啥莫名其妙的就喜欢上小黑了？
至於女主，真是只要自己不尷尬，尷尬的是別人～😂
当20年前的价值观和当今社会价值观的碰撞还是一个很有趣的点，但电影并没有怎么去刻画这一部分。
整体还挺不错的，就是喜欢这个简单欢乐的chick flick
低于预期，这个题材好好写剧本的话怎么也是部合格的爆米花片，但这部不是。
2.5星... 類似早期HBO家庭電影院的片子.....立意是好的..其餘就不能太考究
穿露脐装渔网袜的美艳小gay太诱人了，或者是4爱修勾？
豆瓣6.4 IMDB5.7的片子居然把我看哭了，可能是年纪大了吧
三分大片。我真的很喜欢看网飞的零脑细胞消耗青春片。一样的元素只是架在了2022的背景里，yeah no one likes a 雌竞片now，很开心看到以前不受欢迎的不敢出柜的女同当校长，每个人都能做自己的without magic 霍格沃茨学校。就算这种气氛是fake也是乌托邦了。
挺轻松愉快的电影，女主心态那是相当好啊，可能也和她身边都是好人有关系，不过和朋友一起看完，大家最耿耿于怀的就是当初害她的人受到法律惩罚了没。最后再来一下子到六十，就真是加速人生了（雾
一般般 造成那么大的伤害 竟然一点处罚都没有还活得那么好
多少年了老美的校园青春剧还是好看啊！一贯的happy ending，直接带着观众重返千禧年哈哈
还挺有趣的喜剧 literally a coming of age story
Rebel Wilson怎么瘦了那么那么瘦了！！无脑喜剧但也传达了重要的信息-why fit in when you stand out?
我承认做不到这么乐观，即使18岁那一年的Steven
网飞很有梗：女主指着lady gaga问Madonna现在叫lady gaga吗，真的笑死我了。。还有各种不允许使用带有歧视话语的词汇，以及多位黑人主角和男同性恋。整体氛围轻松活泼，不过把人弄得昏迷二十年真的不需要负法律责任啊，女主的光环太大了，美国人民现在都觉醒了，都开始让主角努力学习，卷起来了。
前面的节奏还不错，挺有趣的，但是到了后面毕业舞会那一段就开始越来越快，感觉又是要素太多时常不够了。不过经典复古美式校园喜剧还是很轻松愉快的，一开始还对现在欧美网红所谓的政治正确进行了一个嘲讽，有点意思。
女主角瘦了好多 但她演什么都摆脱不了完美音调里的那个fat amy了
1.中間有好看的部分，比如因為sexy dance 漲粉
这个主角实在喜欢不起来，毫无魅力，美式校园剧现在也是老套的不行，前两天重温贱女孩都觉得还是挺好看
