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.
2021新闻大串烧。如果说在2021学到了啥，那就是通过2020人啥都没学会。毁灭吧
绝了
2021吐槽，虽然也是挺无聊的，但还是比《不要抬头》好看百倍。
不是美国衰落了药丸了，是人类社会就是一直这么拉跨…
女主不幸但又很幸运 上帝关了一扇门也会给你开一扇门😢
前一個小時還能看，之後覺得男女倆沒事找事作天作地，到最後變味了，傳教片
男女主颜值很高，演技有待加强，感觉举手投足都演得太现代了，不符合人物的时代特征，不过这种题材，这类剧情，演得再好也免不了槽点满满
这个系列我都感觉可以无穷拍下去了~~~每年都能带来各种令人魔幻的内容啊~~把去年疫情的内容放到今年来完全可以无缝对接，这部分以外，比较有意思的就是两党的斗争，如果说去年是BLM造成的麻烦的话，今年占领国会山事件代表着大城市和乡村的彻底决裂。红脖子的戏码还真不错的~~PS： 鱿鱼游戏这戏是还行，但能风靡到如今的程度也是完全理解不能呢~~~
美式玛丽苏电影，圣父劝妓从良，可能是那个时代的故事吧，在目前的社会里是不会发生的。
I hear you whisper underneath your breath
†救赎的爱。男主的爱是基督的爱的化身。无条件的珍视和接纳。
很温暖的爱情故事，爱情的力量，我们越是爱一个人，越会想给他一个更好的自己，也会觉得自己配不上，而一次次走掉，真正爱你的人，是不会放弃你的，一个好的爱人，比找对心理医生还治愈。
美丽的GIF电影。没有任何冲突的，矛盾只需要摆出来。总有几个下午用来看没必要看的电影👀
细心地感受理解神的爱，才会遇到那个他。
像翻译后名字一样 让你相信会有一个人可以这样爱你 不管发生什么都坚定的爱你。ps 女主有些造型真的是好美
谁可以这样爱我呢？世界上找得到这样完美的人吗？我想里面所给与的爱，是祂给的，是真实有这样的，看起来真是遥不可及的爱，可是也很容易得着的爱，我想没有这样坚定的信仰，男主怎么如此去爱一个人，没有祂的爱，女主怎么能一点点被治愈，纯属个人观点😁
现在的人很多已经不抱希望了，所以，看到纯爱就会觉得可笑，其实，是在笑这样的爱不会在自己身上发生。
跨年夜看这部真是过于应时应景了。好多梗爆笑了。世界越来越割裂，明年会好吗？
Sometimes, you have to leave behind what you were born into, to become who God meant you to be.
