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.
好可爱，真的好可爱！有探讨家庭，但重点在友谊上，以及一些当下社会中常见的问题，比如小孩子或者大部分年轻人都太过于依赖社交网络，把自己的全部生活都展示在互联网上，过着应该“云端”的生活；人工智能和人的关系问题；以及这些科技公司的产品以及信息服务公司对大众的非法监管、收集信息侵犯公民隐私的问题。不过毕竟是动画片，受众是小朋友，所以没法表现的像疑犯追踪一样真枪实弹的，不过最终问题依旧还是那个问题（当然这并不是电影的中心，只是因为导演用了大量篇幅来描述这些问题所以引起我注意了而已）。总之表现的还不错！我很喜欢！（另外，人工智能都逃不过自我上传到互联网然后永生的命运吗👀（好多恐怖片也是这个走向呢，庆幸Ron是善良的小朋友.jpg
抛一个时髦的议题，造一个新颖的机器人，讲述一个老掉牙的治愈、友爱、真诚故事，或许还能骗到小孩子，但已经骗不到大人了。机器人当属瓦力，或是钢铁巨人。
很难不跟大白和杰夫做对比，所以设定谈不上有创意，剧情也很不严谨，感觉剧本是好几个编剧拼凑起来的，很多生硬的转折和漏洞让人看得昏昏欲睡，最受不了的是明明是小男孩与机器人的暖心故事，为什么非要搞拯救世界那一套？
人人皆孤独
和朋友在家撸狗吃外卖聊天的下饭片（就挺合适…）但真的太套路了以及带着明确教育意味了。监视资本主义和社交媒体无法增进青少年之间的距离，只是创建出热闹的幻像和一座座孤岛什么的=_=还插入丛林探索总部打怪等必备桥段…最后牺牲小我成全大我的部分太扯了。但是有句讲句，大概圆圆白白的表情包就是自带可爱buff吧，蠢萌满分。
。。。剧本实在是写的太烂了，像个恐怖片，画面常常拥挤杂乱，音效像焦虑症。谁拍板让这种定位莫名其妙的片子被拍出来的。
小孩子反而看不进去 有些情节还是有些复杂 这是一个少年和AI共同成长的故事 也是一个探讨人工智能进化的故事 但愿我们的世界都是天然美好的发展下去吧……
小白的存在，等同于未来社会人类的灵魂容器，突破电子监禁的规则才能恢复人类该有的活力，整体还是比较套路规整的创作，第三幕塞得东西太多，导致冗长刻意。
这不是B- bot，这是苹果手机。好喜欢Ron。
中规中矩，对于互联网和产品充满揶揄和讽刺；奶奶的角色太可爱。
前半段真是太好了，结尾没头没脑太过仓促。其实想看看融合泡泡网络的阿荣会是什么样的，会不会成为世界警察？原先的B宝只是个体的复制，而阿荣才是同甘共苦共进退的好友。P.S：泡泡公司很多方面都很像苹果
正好刚被“朋友”演了看了这个电影哈哈哈哈，特别讽刺。人与人之间的真诚呢，不如机器人。
马马虎虎，反思人工智能的主题，是千篇一律的表面兄弟，还是特立独行找到真心朋友
后半段完全崩盘。一边讽刺科技背后的黑暗，一边乞求科技的慰藉，人类真是可悲呢。
里面有些设定有点创意，但整个故事看下来一般般
和智能大反攻一个题材，都是在讲互联网时代人们的生活方式受到了冲击式的改变。该如何选择，回归现实还是在虚拟的世界中装充实。
影片下半部分就急转直下了，各种套路以及公式，接踵而来，本身可以更深刻的题材也就变成了全年龄🤔😏
虽然有种弱化版大白的既视感，剧本有些老套，但还是做到了比今年的迪士尼（寻龙传说）和皮克斯（夏日友晴天）都好看。
中段一人一机的磨合过程可可爱爱，Ron贱兮兮的性格果然才最宝贵哈哈哈。故事倒是有些冗长了，尤其公司反派CEO的戏份太多。反思现在小孩子跟屏幕做朋友算亮点。
B-Bot造出来就是更觉得孤单了 造出智能机器人来交朋友？最后的确升华了 不过巴尼依然没有BBot
