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.
稍微想起一些的生日回忆组成的爱情倒序，由分别到热恋到相知相识到心动，可以看到爱情纯粹的样子，池松壮亮跳舞的样子也完全看不出是业余的。
仿佛為什麼東西舉辦了一場葬禮般如鯁在喉的難受，仿佛暫時地也一起沉溺到了那些7月26日…
虽然但是，可能爱情还是一种美好的存在吧。看这部电影确实能代入的感受到一些，挺不错的
几年前就觉得女主演技很不错 时间累积我们身上或多或少都会有以前的影子 就像看电影 以前桥段被再现 这其中触动也只有我们知道 想到了很多 星星海Ice king
很文艺，拍摄的手法很真实，好像就在居酒屋里，看旁边座位的人讲话一样。又好像是看着街边行人的感觉。
太好看了，这种剪辑，这种叙事，没想到花束这种电影之后又开启了一片天，哈哈，谈恋爱干嘛要在一起啊，就是用来回忆的啊～～～～真好～好爱女主😋
没有刻意表现爱情分开和开始的理由，倒叙的手法反而显得越来越浪漫，喜欢海洋馆和出租车后座里发生的故事，表白前的不安心态，在一起后的快乐时光，分手后的形同陌路，一切发生得都是那么日常但又不普通，流动的时间行走的人不变的空间，所有记忆只是稍微想起了一点。
刚看完一部日本电影，叫做《稍微想起一些》，挺巧的，今天是7月26日，电影里，男主角的生日便是7月26日
很不错，开车的女主好像《驾驶我的车》的感觉
以倒叙的形式讲述一场爱情，演员演技也很给力
喜欢它的名字，稍微想起一些，好的，那就稍微。
倒叙式的爱情故事，后劲蛮大。没有什么刻意的小清新，但各种情绪都在了。挺好，推荐。前半段可能以为是个什么烧脑的时空悬疑故事——怎么男主不断地在同一天早上醒来，其实不是。剧情后半段开始，越来越舒服。
劇本裡告白part說伊藤麗莎演的角色嗓音奇怪的形容好耳熟ㄟ，記不起哪部了⋯⋯
只能在日影里感受到一点爱情了，现实中只能不停地打✈️
倒叙的爱情片。相恋的时候，即使抱在一起入眠，都会无比想念对方。喜欢开出租是因为，有时候想出去转转，但又不知道去哪。巷子里跳舞的那一段很美，音乐很好听。
所以追求理想和想要生一个baby 中间到底差了什么呢 女主的爱很踏实很直接 ps.女演员很姬哈哈
想生孩子的梦想实现了，求婚只是真心的戏言，每个月都在等待的奇迹，真真切切存在过。
那改一个风格用倒序把痛苦变为相识
心里默默为他庆祝生日
最近幾年裏非常好的日影，也是同類型的佼佼者吧！伊藤莎莉和誰都有cp感嗎？和池松壯亮氣場很合，而且兩人在(戀愛)關係的不同階段的表演都好準確。電影以層層倒序和順序結構起來，把一對青年在東京那麽多年的戀愛物語和個人生活講的很真實，既有個體的私密感又有個體在大城市和社會環境下的渺小和無力，在一次次生日中增減年歲，失去和改變。海洋館裏的兩人，夜晚在街頭跳舞的兩人...好多情節都超級浪漫，非常迷人。而且電影場景主要集中在夜晚、出租車內、房間內、舞台、小酒館，勾勒了一個有點幽閉的環境，在敞開環境下的戲比較少，即是疫情的影響也更能展現人的孤獨感吧。PS:客串凌還是很帥哈哈哈！！
