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.
完全出乎意料，没想到竟然不烂。就是青少年在夏天遇到的一些破事，摔倒了然后爬起来了，不及《我世界的中心》有深度但更简单清新一点
故事没有预期得精彩，但电影风格是真的和戳爷配一脸啊！印度小哥也帅！
夏天和潮起潮落的海、单车和漂亮男孩，青春又幼稚的简单故事，好听的BGM和油画般的背景板，关于HIV关于亲情友情爱情，但都只是泛泛而谈
很无聊也很刻板，丰富的色彩与其说有起到缓和气氛和营造青春洋溢的感觉，还不如说电影本身就不存在关于“等待结果”的紧张气氛，而青春的设定也是虚假得很，一个背着书包却只用去小卖部打工的学生。“甜蜜的爱情”也没有很甜，剧情也是无聊和刻板到极致了。只能说电影的色彩确实很养眼，也是唯一能够感觉到“青春活力”和“爱情甜蜜”的地方了吧。
色调很美，也是夏日限定的恋爱就是了。
Fears are stories we tell ourselves.看完以后不得不感慨戳爷是真滴好看……想安慰Estha小哥，毕竟他看起来太压抑了。
故事其实挺残酷的，但拍得很轻巧，导演竟然是一个完全的新人，主演特洛耶希文对我而言，也完全是新人，从没看过他之前任何作品，但表演真是不错。顺便一提，影片的音乐也很棒，非常契合夏天
挺真诚脱俗的，troye走心了。还有谁会不喜欢David Bowie呢呜呜呜
当Bowie的歌在Troye主演的电影里响起，我激动的快要哭出来。（Estha长得好像杰克吉伦哈尔，very hot）
ps弯弯字幕组译的真好，边边角角的海报都会译上去，还会特地用相似的颜色字幕，片尾曲还有对应歌词
classic gay romance movie 戳好好看！
清水小gay片，看完了也没有很想谈恋爱，但是也许在别的阶段看会有想吧。
and fuck you for making me like Taylor Swift
8，糖果色的成长物语，三个月的等待真的太残忍，感受心碎，学会和解，平静的结尾很有力量，无论未来如何，都要坚强活下去，戳爷片尾两首歌太好听了，戳和estha都太美了
在我朝仍然风声鹤唳的时候，大洋对岸的糖水同性青春片已经能够将类型元素结合得细致而又自然，既拍出了青春惯有的迷茫和美好，也拍出了同性群体的情感与负担。
1、真是我看过最尴尬最好笑的床戏。2、大猪蹄子，什么当乖乖仔，只是没那么喜欢我戳罢了。3、戳的这种极度外向型人格是完美的性格，但很容易招惹抑郁型的人，希望他们不会受什么伤害。4、为了遵循传统他妈妈宁愿抛弃他儿子，这种现象现在还经常见，真是可悲。5、印度朋友和他妈妈都是这种所谓的极端保守派，反正我是挺难理解这类人群的。
有些事，不敢说，是因为我们无法完全信任亲人；有些时候，我们忽略朋友，是因为我们以为此刻遇到了难得的缘分；而有些人，即使陪我们走过夏日，但终究真的就是过客，再难忘也要释怀，放下，才能轻松前进。最后，还是那些愿为我们付出的人，一直留在身边，我们也应该用心爱他们。然后带着爱，寻找爱。
想表达的东西七零八落 最后啥也没剩
整体清新的感觉都很喜欢，色调画面音乐都好看。
3.5。一个友谊和爱意之中的亲密关系，不断寻找正确的认识，挣扎纠结再重新爱，生活不会很无情，驾驶向前的单车才值得迎面拂风。（配乐加分）
