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.
音效真好
联想到无数个有类似片段的电影，从主题到手法都乏善可陈。网飞日本花钱不办实事again。
故事的话当然还是没有第一季好，但是歌曲氛围感很棒，个人感觉最好的部分：波莎第一次飞天表演的那个This girl is on fire还有猩猩强尼的那个part，最后的那首i still haven't found what i am looking for，我不太了解这首歌的历史，所以并没有多震撼。
"我们终其一生都在努力着、却始终无法逃脱普通吧" 年度致郁，2021完结感动作
&タイトルに見せかけた純愛映画、、確かに普通です、、
“我在喜悦时，便会觉得很难过。”
原来，我们都无法成为大人
才华和资本博弈，联手演出了才华和资本的博弈。剧情无新意，套路仍管用。
第一部真的太精彩太出类拔萃了，第二部比起来就是平庸之作但是还有些优秀的成份在，他们的嗓子还是这么优秀，音乐也没有第一部这么朗朗上头（U2不熟所以也没有什么感觉。
音乐没有上一部那么印象深刻，剧情是熬得太久的鸡汤。
3.7 it's alright 不太够劲
为什么要比较？ 过年不就应该喜庆、乐呵、充满正能量嘛！ 美国人玩这一套简直忒在行了，推荐，
在状态从头笑到尾，不在状态五分钟都看不完。
前作打动人的点其实是在角色人物上，都有各自的发展弧光～这一部人物没有任何变动，只是重新套了一个鸡汤故事，各方面都是在自我模仿，了无新意～
已经记不得第一部看没看过、情节如何了，就从头开始看起。虽然是比较传统的典型正反两派一眼就能看出结尾的喜剧，但是在人物刻画和动画的展现上还是很出彩的。小剧院院长考拉穆恩梦想着有朝一日能在大舞台上演音乐剧，被尖嘴猴腮的狗狗女士一通挖苦后立志要争气，带着能唱能跳的猪猪、vocal大象、民谣豪猪和rap猩猩一路蒙混过关参加了海选，被哈士奇一般的狼选中，顶着掉脑袋的压力上演了一场星球探险剧情，同时还要安插走后门的狼女儿，再将因妻子去世无法歌唱隐退的狮子请回舞台，狼认为请不来狮子差点要了考拉的命，最终考拉攒了免费局，上映了音乐剧得到了热烈反响，狼夹着尾巴落荒而逃。整部影片超燃。
为什么要比较？ 过年不就应该喜庆、乐呵、充满正能量嘛！ 美国人玩这一套简直忒在行了，推荐，
请问好莱坞工业是如何把爆米花电影依然做的人人都喜欢并感动～
虽然是老套的励志故事，但是狮子出来唱歌的那一段还是浑身鸡皮疙瘩都起来了，感谢动漫电影，可以让我永远在成年人的世界里做小孩！
故事无聊，太套路了，歌舞表现也不尽如人意，流行音乐大杂烩。
我们都无法成为大人 我们都终将一事无成 我们都终将孤独终老 我们一点都不有趣 所做的一切不过只是毫无意义地消磨生命//这群演员塑造这众角色 贴合恰当 但以后能不能多点难度
