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.
主播接到女子电话，有人要杀害她，调查，上位，和30年前的自己生活有重叠，精神错位，职场压力…
台湾已经没有小清新女主了，校园剧不肯避免的走向末路。九把刀再好的编剧已经找不到00后女演员来演。
吉他社长为啥都不考虑一下室友的，切。哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。
剧情有点无聊，但主演演技还是在线的，观感一般
中规中矩的校园爱情剧，没想到周兴哲会来演戏，唱歌的部分都有点青涩（不那么好听），中间他爱她，她爱他，他爱他真的场面一度混乱，结局还是不错的，感觉台式言情的表现手法还是很温和的。剧情上的话没有特别出采的地方，但是女主的演技真的是在线的！
很青春治愈
最期待的贞德演讲和芙芙那段……哎 不谈了。月球老公都不给一条语音，同人后期补语音还能补回来一些…剧情整一就是，我要哭了…！我又憋回去了…( ･᷄ὢ･᷅ )
很好看的片子。拍的悬疑又悲伤。前期铺垫很多，结尾最后让人惊艳。值得二刷
十戒 所罗门
感觉本子还可以，创伤后双重人格一黑一白还顺带一些母女关系，但拍的不好，前一半节奏失衡，影片过半才开始有一点意思，整体显得非常普通。
5/10。中间有很多不合常理令人翻白眼的尴尬桥段，这些做作青春片真的要在大荧幕看才能投入。
周兴哲不唱歌改演电影，名字叫做《永不失联的饭团》🍙
还是有不少只有东亚女的能共情的部分🚬把受到各种观念与现实桎梏的生育最终还原为一种纯粹的完全属于女性的东西，这点还是蛮厉害
看到熊熊和阿尔忒弥斯，又想到那追月的一箭。。。
台湾青春片老套就老套吧，但是对不起...男一女一我觉得有点丑而看不下去，配乐不错
女性的生存空间如此逼仄，但是女性与女性之间没有互助，反而是互相倾轧，这才是最让人不寒而栗的部分。
看完发现不是恐怖片，应该算心理暗示下的惊悚，回过头来看对话才会发现讲话的区别。真正的世拉可能连台词都说不好，无数次令母亲失望下的结果就是催生出母亲的人格，坐在主播台前才能顺利完成新闻。电影是千雨熙的大女主戏，演技不错，饰演母亲的李慧英虽然戏份不多，但足够还原出母亲的整个形象了。
最后火车呼啸而过淹没了周围的声音 谁都不知道她说了句什么 但我想 学长心里肯定在回应道“我也喜欢你”。青春的恋爱就是这么懵懵懂懂又甜到心扉。【周兴哲演戏不太好 但是声音真的好温柔】
好久没有看到这种片了，年轻的时候我们会为了喜欢的人而伤心，可是好像长大以后，我们逐渐变得麻木，没有情绪了。有句话说的很对，大家都口是心非，这个世界上的人都是这样。
惊悚，比起悬疑更像社会。从「韩公主」到「坚持住」再到此作，千在聚焦女性困境的作品中点亮了越来越多的光芒。
