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.
总算有看得懂的剧情了 高机动扎古这滑步流畅得堪比我的滑板鞋
2、人物形象塑造得很生动
电影一般，有些理想化，四星给真善美，它永远让人感动，那怕是理想中的。
能在2022年看到阿姆罗真的很好啊。作为安彦良和”封画“之作，隶属于GTO（之前一直没了解，安彦系列的都不算正传里），这次改编初代15话石头哥的岛（哈哈哈哈哈）。确实在细节上更加塑造了多安，比起15话当时的不明不白，只知道多安是有反战的心，这次剧场版还是很满意的，就是后期战斗也不是特别爽，算是情怀吧。不知道以后还能不能见到GTO系列了...欸。
剧本节奏比较快
这么震撼人心的电影，不知不觉就让我泪流满面！
可能是TV单集扩展的原因，1小时40分的信息量还是太低了。
日漫还是吃了没文化底蕴的亏，小孩子看看还行
看完感触挺大的，穷人的孩子早当家，独立的早，行动能力比较强，都很懂事，他们条件比较落后，但是做事能力一点也不落伍，孩子们眼睛里蕴含着淳朴。
看完本片真的觉得不错。尤其最后引爆的核弹在地球上空化成六朵巨大的烟花，这是多安送给孩子们的礼物，让我感受到了安彦良和的浪漫，两种不同的人生在战场上相逢，战争是残酷的，温柔也是残酷的。
故事情节相对有些老套
不能得分。但是最低1星。
大家的关注点不相同，我只能说我非常喜欢这部作品，也不觉得安彦良和监督得有任何问题。
我喜欢，就像草原，天空，星星那样纯真，简单！没有暇疵！不多说！就是心中欢喜！
世界上有很多个门，你打开不同的门就会有不同的风景，有人渴望外面的世界，有人也愿意坚守在这一方土地上，送他们去看这世界。
一个年轻有为的男孩，来到环境艰苦的藏区支教，看到一个个孩子们期待的目光，那一刻他一定是动容的。真的很难想象这群孩子们如果没有接受教育，他们的未来会是怎样一番景象。这是今年最打动我的电影，也是最值得我们大家反复观看的电影。希望只是能够传递到更远的地方，让每一个孩子都不孤单❤️
关于高达的部分不超过半小时，但故事姑且还行。看高达来的就略显遗憾。
剧情很正能量，值得一看
温情，如一碗暖暖的鸡汤温暖人们的心灵，让人心得以慰藉。
故事情节整体比较丰满，很紧凑。突发事件发生的都比较合理，但就是感觉多了，戏剧性过于强了。
