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.
你离开后，我也开始用dv记录生活，在我们初次心动的那棵樱花树下。
配乐很好听 画面很好看 就是很难想象这剧情是2022年的了……有点太俗了
是我期待太高了，也可能我同类型看的太多了
3.5，这个配乐超喜欢，温子仁还是挺会利用房屋结构的。下午寝室一个人戴耳机看，前面看得背脊发凉，心理上的，后面反转的时候背脊又开始发凉，生理上的，挺血腥，真的有被恶心到。
《招魂2》之后温子仁重拾恐怖片的导筒，水准依然在线并且跳出了自己的舒适圈，前半部分是熟悉的鬼屋恐怖元素，成熟的运镜和声音效果营造的氛围依然是顶级，在中段情节反转后直接高能预警，《电锯惊魂》之后真的没见到如此释放自己的温导，警局大屠杀满满的B级趣味，充分展现R级尺度毫不吝啬杀戮与血浆，Gabriel这个形象更是及其cult（尤其是真相大白后），恐怕是要给观众留下新一轮的心理阴影，美中不足的是有些细节还可以解释更清楚，但于我而言非常满足，这才是高水准的好莱坞电影！（9/10）
其实让人看下去的是女主的演技和故事，倒不是爱情故事，女主很了不起的就是拯救了男主，帮他重塑人生的意义。茫茫人海，能够遇见爱的人就是最美好的事了，尽管时间有点短。
（有没有人写姐妹文，想看
所以请好好活下去吧！
“最好的是这十年有遇到你”
太好哭了趴，虽然很老套但两个人的演技都很好
总觉得这个故事可以拍得更精彩，坂口健太郎真的好帅啊，小松菜奈也很美，野田洋次郎的声音还是那么的好听！！！
前2/3剧情一般，后1/3开始稍微泪目，小松菜奈这部里演技刚好合格，她给我的感觉就是虽然漂亮，但是眼神一直很空洞无神，静态拍照片还好，动态那是完全暴露缺点，看得出这几年她应该也在努力了，特写镜头虽然还是有点无神，但是比以前好一点了
可以算be美学天花板了吧，剧情虽然老土又狗血，但扛不住男女主哭得一把鼻涕一把泪的煽情啊!
些许狗血，但还行，就是讲死亡吧，就很。。。。。。
樱花吹过，茉莉花开，余命十年，幸得一爱。nana靠在妈妈肩上哭着说她也想和喜欢的人结婚，想和妈妈一起活下去的时候太揪心了，边看边吃桃子结果到结尾也没吃完…
甚至他们在谈恋爱的时候我也觉得很平淡！！最打动的剧情还是后面女主删掉珍贵的录像以及幻想她正常人的生活 结婚 生子
过了半年终于在中国上线了，看到茉莉闭上眼幻想着以后嫁人生子的情节真是太好哭了。相机拍下樱花的画面贯穿始终，很唯美，好想和喜欢的人一起去赏樱，一起去天空树啊！
经典的，套路的，日式催泪电影。nana美出天际 演技提升很大 抱妈妈那一段着实催泪.
不论未来如何如何
可以算科幻片了：女主和操控她谋杀别人的肿瘤生命体加百利做斗争的故事。看的完整版，运镜和调度的水平依然在，但不吓人。
