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.
我们尊重贾玲对母亲的爱，可谁来尊重电影呢？
眼泪哗哗的
这破烂电影能成为中国电影史票房第二，是中国电影人，乃至世界电影人的耻辱。煽情、刻意、莫名其妙，什么感动，老子只想笑。
观影全程的感受就是完全感觉到了贾玲的一颗真心，这颗真心真挚到几乎完全掩盖了影片本身的一些不足，果然不管做什么事情真诚都很重要。
在贾玲说出对啊，我妈怎么会缝的那一瞬间整个电影在这里开始反转，从这里开始显得不一样，我爱这一瞬间！！！！
跨洋对标无意义，但近年来活跃的Nisha Ganatra、Elizabeth Banks、Niki Caro…证明女性导演在商业功课上遇到的挑战和取得的突破难而且珍贵；更加凸显了Olivia Wilde与《高材生》的叫好叫座是多么不容易。贾玲选材和运作这个故事的触觉、多年来累积的口碑或是处女作所展露的潜力配和她们比吗？未必或者也不配。但是，在片中某些时刻，也看出了些她或许能在未来获得的“上限”。前提是，不再仅仅依附于小品文化的层次和获得，也可以超脱个人生活之外的观察；那么她将创造和积累的，也就更多更多。同样可以展望这个“上限”的还有张小斐，从来没有对她小品之外的尝试有过任何怀疑。这是一个得体的开始，也算是让人充满期待的开始。
是广大投资人惊觉原来钱还可以这么捞！
在这样的年代仍饱含着对过往两朝历史洪流中人民日常生活细节的追溯，且以极为稀缺独特的艺术工作坊式的方法完成。历史大舞台下的他方唱罢尔登场，民间传说中的阴阳神鬼孟婆，以及随波逐流于期间的三教九流各色人等，堪称精妙的历史群像画卷
我流泪了。如果没有“还不会缝”引发的反转，就是一部无聊的穿越，剧本上根本不及格。但是反转后，就和穿越无关了，可以理解为母女共同穿越或者弥留之际母女天人永隔之前的互相安慰，直接封神。此非叙事，乃有叙事结构的抒情。哎，太费纸巾了，不可不看，不可再看，贾导威武！
油画、水墨、戏剧并用的舞台场景，古典、现代、川剧揉杂又浑然一体的配乐，角色在戏剧光影与人生苦乐间进退穿行，情节在真切自然和光怪陆离中自由切换。
上映前评价不好，我就觉得就当爆米花搞笑剧图一乐吧。看到一半觉得这绝对算搞笑剧里的一流作品。看到最后，我错了我全错了，这一流喜剧啊，好笑但又戳泪点，而且这泪点真的不是一哭即完。还有片尾那些话让我回顾起剧情更难受了，说贾玲靠妈赚钱的能消停会儿不？
我觉得她自己也挺心虚的吧！
大型欢乐喜剧人小品一则，胜在感情真挚。张小斐可以的。我和我妈全程无表情看完，无情母女。
泼辣，厚实，乡土，生猛。以川剧兴衰的视角折射中国近代史，戏剧式的布局与布景更添一层讽谑面纱，三小时笑看历史与记忆荒腔走板。
提前看影评说会哭的稀里哗啦 所以看的时候我一直在憋着等最感人的时候再哭 结果憋着憋着就结束了……
小斐边喊着“我的宝儿”边双手张开朝着贾玲奔去那一幕哭得我可大声了……女性导演镜头下下的女性都好美啊。
不止这个分数，有笑有泪。 确实也有不足的地方 但是我觉得8.5分完全配得上，但这种电影有一部算一部，确实很不错，推荐大家去看看，对国产电影少一点偏见和挑剔
有笑有泪的，不明白陈赫这个人物有什么作用，完全多余
浅景深
我是很少给国产喜剧打高分的。老实讲里面的笑料也有很多不太高级的元素，但就算屎尿屁少了那些油腻男导演的猥琐视角感觉都变得淳朴了。贾玲30多了演高中生确实也没什么说服力，但她说起母亲那种包含爱意的感情可以弥补其他不足。张小斐的表现也很出乎意料，那几个她的好姐妹也都很可爱。贾玲一直是个脚踏实地的姑娘，希望以后在导演的路上能越走越远，就是别再找陈赫这种男演员来膈应人了。最后再推荐一下大家在春节假期带妈妈一起来看。我和我妈看完走出电影院，两个人拿纸巾擦着眼泪鼻涕，还假装没事一样商量去哪儿吃饭。这就是最真实的母女了。
