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.
好玩还是好玩的，但是逻辑已经越来越不能自恰了，为了戏剧冲突而强行反转。
这部也是可以无限拍下去的类型~以及，一下少了两个人，有点惆怅。。。
MEC｜很甜 然而情节很无聊 很轻描淡写 哦对他们也去看了瀑布 六角戏份太少（捶
一直在滑进度条，期待甜蜜蜜时光
夏天的開始~三星給電影、原作、町田的演技^.^
三视角角度来剖析还是很好看w 到最后其实已经能猜到手法了，但这并不重要，看到现在是纯粹享受。长泽演技感觉比起去年更好更自然了，一颦一笑都打动人。各种俳優惊喜出场，熊猫出来的时候忍不住笑出声。一瞬泪目是达子提到star的时候，结子不在的事实至今也还是没有能够接受。还有，真的很喜欢他们，也希望一直能演下去，但是每每看到东出的那张出轨脸就觉得不适，总是把我从剧情中扯出来...剧情和其他演员绝对是值票价，但他不值。
是谁，在电影开始不到一分钟就开始颧骨升天？哦，是我。剧情怎么说呢，基本把目前为止漫画的主线（更确切的说法是主要剧情）都给拍出来了，但漫画后期（安达失去魔法之后）的主线本来就是硬伤，过于零碎，并没有一个足以支撑电影的起承转合，用来磕糖或舔颜来说足够，但以电影来讲，它真的不够好。不过我还是给了五星，因为一直以来我从cherry magic感受到的细腻的温暖和快乐太珍贵了，且好似源源不断取之不竭。
导致平庸又无聊
太好看了…
劇粉福利，櫻桃補糖… （TW院線2022-04-08與日本同步上映… )
行骗天下的水准回来啦～
叔要吃那盘海鲜炒饭！！！怀念活在台词中的STAR和杰西。
太好猜了
太好看了…
3）黑泽真的高、帅
马耳他啊 什么时候能去呢｜ 局中局已经习惯了 但只要这个系列一直拍 演员和观众都会一直跟着瞎开心吧 麻酱真是什么衣服都能驾驭 赤星你醒醒啊赤星 欺诈师说大道理 谁能扛得住呢
看到所谓的国际刑警出场就知道这才是大鱼啊……没办法，套路已经摸熟了。
一群骗子骗了一个无良骗子。只有小少爷什么都不知道太可怜了。诈欺就像魔术，妙在布局变化。前面多线叙事以为团队内讧，实在是障眼法。最后一个骗开保险箱太老梗。被老骗子小骗一把，略示警戒，还是师父技高一筹。没心没肺的长泽雅美太可爱了。
生濑真惨，每次剧场都要被骗一次，赤星真的完全被PUA了23333。
英雄篇会是最终章嘛？都没看够诶！行骗天下系列好成功啊！表白麻酱
