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.
落入俗套，显然和玩具总动员不是一个团队搞出来的
Emilie好美，温柔的成熟的知性的美。陪你散步聊文学耐心回答你的问题，你说话的时候总是微笑地盯着你，你直视她的时候她又会移开目光。也致命性感，她爱穿衬衫，会把扣子解到第三颗，靠近就会闻到她身上的香水味，在你退缩的时候主动说“你想要我，而我在这”。在没有别人的海岛边，伴随着海水和沙砾的吻。明媚又热烈的爱情，感谢法国人！
好难看的纯美式套路爆米花电影，将一个真实故事改编得TMD的毫无营养、毫无剧情……可惜了题材
It’s more than a game to him. He finally got his talent to connect with people❤️
开头就猜大魔王是多元宇宙或者时间穿越，结果是两者结合… 电池不是可以再制作吗？干嘛要穿越去抢
近几年的美国电影很少有含黑量这么低的了😄很温馨的故事
7分。一个通过彩票漏洞买彩票致富的故事。在这个基本框架下，剧情有几点不同：杰瑞和玛姬享受的是两口子在退休后一起冒险一起做事的过程，只不过结果刚好是有了钱；杰瑞和玛姬致富不忘带同乡，死气沉沉的小镇因为有钱了，又焕发了生机；杰瑞和玛姬遇到自私的哈佛大学生对手，并且让对方惨败；杰瑞和玛姬知道彩票漏洞，彩票销售公司也知道，只不过大家心照不宣，因为多买（卖）彩票是一件双赢的事情；杰瑞和玛姬最后过上了幸福的生活。有钱真好。
学好数理化。走遍天下都不怕。任何漏洞被钻营和投机。都离不开亲情。友情。乡情的需要和烘托。所以没有恶意的坏分子。只是对规则的精巧愚弄！！！
题材很有趣，而且对Jerry的感情刻画也很细腻，中间Jerry讲述和儿子钓鱼的经历的时候还是很触动人心的。第一次觉得名校的高材生这么面目可憎h
老白和chuck同时出现，叫古德曼情何以堪。 片中彩蛋“你俩该不会是大毒枭吧”
风景很美，故事也很好，拍出来看着却不怎么样，有一种老破车带不动的感觉。看的是台版，有些翻译起来比较好玩。有人早已拥有了月亮，才低头去看六便士。还有就是学好数学有多重要。2.5星。
可以考虑把巴斯光年达到光速后的内容全部剪去，俗套无逻辑
这才是派拉蒙最擅长的，结构工整情节精彩的「派式电影」，现实版「书中自有黄金屋」。有老白+安妮特贝宁这样的组合加持，演技方面自不必说。真实事件改编又使情节多了几分生活感从而显得更加活泼有趣。彩票牵出的不仅是聪颖的智慧，更体现出源自于夫妻、父子、家庭、邻里间的爱与真诚（这同样也是哈佛那个小家伙不具备的），结局合家欢。
2700万刀啊啧啧啧就喜欢看聪明人玩聪明人

文艺青年也许会觉得这部讲投机的电影一点也不浪漫不important。其实干预财富再分配超级爽的，带邻居挣钱就能收获立竿见影的友谊，这就是现实生活里的美梦成真。
引起舒适的一部电影 擅长数学不擅长人际交往的老头儿 能体贴且激情尚存的老婆婆 带着全村人发家致富 真的好棒 相比之下 哈佛队扣一分 非法牟取暴利 还做人身威胁 可惜了高学历 啊 老年人的爱情 也是非常动人 看起来很暖 穿插的父子感情也很有意思 点到为止 不刻意煽情 最后却讲得明明白白 啊 我也想找到彩票的漏洞 早日退休呜呜呜
女主是昨天看到的广播“失控感是一种强大的性魅力”的真实写照了。这个电影甚至让我疑惑，和老男人偷情的年轻女人怎么会没有都爱上他们的老婆呢？毕竟事后在家里巡视，只有女人的用品值得一看：从护肤膏到饰品，无一不精致又带着个人印记。年长的女人经济自由、整洁有序、精神平和、隐藏着激情与浪漫的憧憬、有着带智慧的包容心；比起中年男人的秃顶、偷偷摸摸和害怕被揭穿的猥琐不知道胜过多少。我个人宣布：最适合年轻女孩子的伴侣就是从事文艺工作的中年女人！
難得的是，他們賺了錢之後，想到的不是悶聲發大財，而是將這個事情告訴家人、朋友、鄰居，乃至整個小鎮的人，讓大家一起賺錢，讓整個小鎮煥發生機。
