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.
3.5 前面节奏不错，也穿插了不少小笑点，整部影片也展现了很多地道的文化，就是后半部分内容有点拉胯。
晚上买的告别场因为疫情电影院关了，只能看腾讯视频。剧本到一些小设计都看得出刻意跟老套，但是难耐真实，熟悉的深圳与潮汕文化，有丶想回去吃东西。结尾手机视频+飞机神来之笔。
印度，警察，家里唯一的儿子，这几个标签加起来，足以把一个gay的柜子焊牢焊死。然而，他出柜了，他得到了妈妈的拥抱和抚摸，他是这世上最幸福的gay。 老师，姐姐，从小被妈妈打击讽刺，被前女友抛弃带走孩子，被恶心男假装拉拉恐吓，被婆婆撞见和女友爱爱而社死，所有经历加在一起很容易压垮一个女人，但是她是坚强的新印度女拉拉，她没有崩溃，并且她很幸运遇到了同样承担起责任的好gay，以及会选择站在她这边的爸爸，当大家选择共同面对，彩虹之力量无穷大。 喜欢这部电影所有事件走向的处理，她告诉我们也许我们也可以有所期待！
想对以前有点请看宝莱坞的歌舞片的自己狠狠打一顿，披着喜剧的外套但不乏故事深度。很多时候法律的冰冷框框圈住了特定人的自由，但是人心的宽大和爱能包容一切，愿世界充满爱，Love&Peace。——看看周围国家在影视上的突破，不敢直面的国家无法进步
男女主从一开始瞒着家人，到最后被动或主动出柜，家人一开始的不理解到最后慢慢接受，电影中都表现得很有感染力，最后支持同性的游行，表明同性在社会中的认可度也在提高，只是难以相信这是在印度，如果印度都能开明如此，我们为何不可。
好的爱情电影，一定是让你感动，然后珍惜眼前人（而不是怀念初恋）
赚了我好多眼泪😭😭😭，最后冒出个恶趣味的念头是，如果她小儿子是同性恋，有这么个儿媳妇了，妈妈估计都要高兴死了😂😂😂
《爸我一定行》原班制作团队第2部潮汕电影，用心十足，诚意满满，不再是单纯潮汕元素的拼凑，而是以母子矛盾为主题，深入反映了潮汕文化中对于婚恋观固有的落后传统观念，引人深思，整体剧情叙事非常写实，演员表演真挚不做作，绝对是令人动容的诚意之作，四星好评推荐！！！
海报设计我也还蛮喜欢的、就因为海报看完了整个电影、剧情三星一星给医生女二、不要太美…
因为不是专业演员，所以有些情节“演”的成分很浓，其余的都还可以
（《真雄起》还没看过，仅通过朋友推荐语、发的图片和片名感觉，男性这单一性别的内容会占主要篇幅，而不是女同、男同、一切性少数者齐努力。以后会补习《真雄起》的。现在发言权还不足。）而这部《永结"同"心》或者叫《祝贺》也比较像沙杜sir这位男同的思想成长史。总的来说，融合了形婚、男同、女同、出柜、🇮🇳🌈游行、同志领养孩子（甚至还调侃了种姓制度）等"梗"，又是生在🇮🇳这个所谓比……后的国家，就算是歌舞部分的时间再拉长些，都值满星了！看到长长的彩虹被撑起在这个国家的大道上时，我真的很激动！！！还有一些老年演员……
潮汕人看了都会笑的电影，很生活化接地气，把现实和喜剧很好地融合在一起
对于关系的讨论，其实还只是停留在表面，但对于地方的风俗和家庭氛围刻画的不无生动有趣。影片的亲切感，强烈地溢出屏幕，以至于在好多根本算不上泪点的地方，竟然也情不自禁了。我相信电影的积极的现实意义大于技法本身，华语电影需要这样的电影。
看的第一部印度LGBT题材电影，你永远可以相信印度电影，前半段笑着看得，后半段哭着看完的，生而为LGBT人群，你不需要抱歉。
故事完整流畅，剧情不悬浮，整体温情，喜剧效果出彩，看的时候笑死了。
没偏见，只是这么堂而皇之地把txl说成正常生活的真情实感，还是看着挺别扭的。
全片最让我感动的地方有两幕，一幕是男主在彩虹游行边戴上面具，小幅度的舞动双手，像鸟儿终于获得自由，情感表达克制又热烈；另一幕是结尾处，两家人终于接纳了真正的男女主，他们的伴侣得以一起参加迎接孩子的仪式，四目相对两两相视而笑的一刻让人不禁泪目。
欧美拍只能三星，但是印度可以四星，毕竟他们的社会氛围比我们更加保守。然而印度电影都已经走在我们前面了，we should be so ashamed
前期剧情有点慢，总体比较冗长，但很久没有看到关于同性题材这么有趣的喜剧了，最后各自出柜倒是很切合东亚的家庭情况，印度能拍出这种类型的片子真的算不错了
前半段很好，真实到我生理不适，后半段就有点美化了（别问我为什么知道，因为我就是知道😭😭)开放结局会更好。
