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.
我只想说 爱德华兹演的真好！比主角埃尔南戈麦斯更出彩。
Que demander plus, à part faire rire, à une comédie de divertissement , parodie assumée de films de super héros trempée dans un humour trash à la française? Passons simplement un bon moment de détente devant ce film bon enfant/mauvais élève avec ses gags potaches et clins d'œil jouissifs. Du fou rire garanti. 3.5
很好玩。演洛儿的那位有没有一点小泽塔琼斯的味儿啊？
老詹担任制片的套路式篮球励志片，
笑翻在沙发上，从DC到漫威，一个都逃不掉。很吃女主的颜。
3.5分。建筑工人被球探发现并且打入nba，一个略微有点俗套的励志故事，但对于我来说，意外看得挺爽。本片不仅有很多前nba大牌加盟，还有一些当下的nba明星，对于一个nba粉丝来说，看得非常带劲。一个心中热血早已凉透了的人来说，偶尔来点鸡汤也是不错的。永远相信梦想，就会有奇迹。
菲利普这一团队的作品，还是一如既往地无厘头搞笑，这次终于把目标伸向超级英雄电影了，最后的吸尘器广告简直是业界标杆
7.5/10，好久没遇到这么爆笑的片子了。
女主好能打 太喜欢她的身材跟攻击力了 又学到了一招扫堂腿和提内裤攻击
该说不说，其实平平，但是要多给半星是给亚当桑德勒，还有半星是给题材，近三十年了很少能看到篮球球探题材的电影，看来美国运动橄榄球第一、棒球第二、篮球第三…所以前两项看了很多很高分很经典的各类题材，所以篮球几乎是头一次，也是够难的
哈哈哈哈有梗是真的超有梗，但低俗是真的低俗。有种当年《蜻蜓侠》的感觉哈哈哈
篮球也就那么回事，但是这个运动员真的好帅啊救命，但凡在联盟里打得出彩点都可以粉一粉的程度（不是）
说是仿讽超英吧，好多逻辑又是在学《猫和老鼠》，不明白
作为曾经的Iverson粉，出于私心给出四星。桑叔也真是太擅长演绎这种小人物逆袭的剧情了。谁曾想一部体育片也能让我哭成泪人，只能怪太多的青春篮球回忆杀，nba、三人篮球赛、灌篮高手…那时那景，此时此境。

笑死我了，从电影到现实各种梗，你永远可以相信菲利普·拉肖的喜剧片。
草根胡安在野球场被一心想要成为教练的资深球探发掘，想要通过试训让他通过选秀为自己的母队效力，虽然篮球天赋鹤立鸡群，但单身爸爸的身份和暴力伤人的前科，让他难以适应球场垃圾话的攻势，体能和技术可以在天道酬勤的下提升，但良好的赛场心态却是常规训练中无法雕琢的，求生心切的对手只会攻击你的逆鳞，诋毁她女儿那个离他远去的母亲，用拳头而不是用篮球打倒对手让他自毁前程，一场不期而遇的试训才让他实现了救赎，只不过下次你遇见我的时候我们将是值得尊重的对手，击败你是对你最大的尊重。
联合试训，有个爱德华兹轻易过掉主角的回合，那次防守时男主完全没给对抗，就在站桩。这简直是灾难，所有前面夸耀的天赋和努力，在这一个镜头里几乎坍塌。这也是这个电影最致命的地方，华彩的“一球成名”梦背后，仔细一看现实性和成人性几乎为零。
法式无脑骚情恶搞系列，轻松一下，经典的是巴黎圣母院大火
比较意外的是，虽然是搞笑片，但剧情编得还挺完整，故事说得过去。拉肖自导自演，玩得很开心，观众也看得很开心。其中各种恶搞其他电影和新闻报道也是不少，能看懂的观众自然会会心一笑。
