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.
虽然不现实还有点老套，但是在跨年的时候看点俊男靓女圆圆满满皆大欢喜的故事有谁不喜欢呢~
适合新年看的电影哦！很像真爱至上的风格，搞笑而温情！光洙好爱大神呀，还cue大神！每一对都好喜欢！世界不算完美，也许每个人内心都有自己无法治愈的地方，可是，因为有人在，我们相互救赎，相互温暖，新的一年才有希冀！别忘记对自己说：新年快乐！p.s片尾曲很好听！
看到跳楼那段直接哭成狗
我也觉得是这样，选定一个人，是可以互相调节的，不过有的容易点，有的难点。但是要选定，只要相信那是，有些人靠依恋程度确定，有些人靠别的，有人容易点，有人难点。
韩志旼和金英光最后那part很老套却又很真实，男生说“并不认为彼此没有坦白心意而变得不幸，我这十五年来，能以朋友的身份在你身边，真的感到很幸福”。有些人错过开口的时机就是真的错过了，旁观者常常笼统的评价“还是不够爱，还是不够勇敢罢了”，但这就是真实的人生啊，友达之上恋人未满，心动是真的，遗憾是真的，放下朝前走也是真的。
韩智敏好美ps.Happy New Year
故事毫无创新，炒冷饭顺便毁经典系列。表演的还能再尬一点吗？大话西游给多少人带来回忆和感动，求求你们不要再糟蹋经典了。与其说叫大话西游，你不如把它看作是一部同人作品。请多一点原创内容，不要老是蹭经典热度。一星给特效团队， 网大做到这程度着实不容易。一星给达叔

跨年夜的环球影城和新荣记希望有人替我爱你。
插曲都很好听，剧情…很无语，轻快合家欢≠浮皮潦草不过脑
导演在好言规劝我们千万不要踏进这爱情的漩涡，没有人能独善其身，哪怕风流浪子或老实诚恳，都经不起折腾。镜头语言，音乐绝美，甚至剪辑都是太棒了。
韩剧套路叠加，俗套中的俗套。总裁王子和保洁灰姑娘的故事真的不适应时代发展需求了啊，尴尬得不行。
虽然是老套的剧情，但节日影片来说画面真的好浪漫啊！郭在熔这个老头的浪漫总是很戳我的点。最喜欢老年组，如果下雪就是同意了，我们就在一起吧。
嗯剧情好乱故事线有点多了 但就是说看个圆满结局的话和年末还挺搭
灵魂伴侣存在在传说中
过于白开水了吧 几十年了还有人喜欢看灰姑娘情节吗 整个故事心疼韩智旻
爱情就是要带点蒙汗药，骗自己的喜剧总是爱啊
想营造一个理想前沿的气氛，但仍在崇尚“排他”与“延续”，就还是不自由，就还是旧世界的价值观。
“重要的不是找到你的灵魂伴侣，而是找到一个灵魂伴侣。”
20分钟，看不下去了。合家欢电影的整体节奏一定是要把控很精准的，必然不能像剧情片或文艺片一样的循序渐进，而本片显然没有做好。尤其那段乐队成员再次见面的围着桌子转，镜头语言到底想说什么？郭在容的野蛮女友真的只能算是惊鸿一现了。
