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.
题材不错，故事讲得太一般。本该立意批判代孕黑产，结果被拍成了八点档狗血剧
我在看什么
印度电影：小题材能出彩，大问题托得住，又输了！
如果所有孤儿组成一个国家，其人口将居世界第9位，超过1.53亿儿童
好消息、如获至宝、同男同女、喜得千金，这几部电影的结局为了弘扬正能量，都有点强行大团圆的，转折的猝不及防
剧情方面，感觉又有看凤凰社或者阿兹卡班的囚徒那种感觉了！罗琳很会安排悬念和伏笔，很会收线。感情方面，罗琳很懂怎么嗑，很懂怎么发糖又发刀。第一次看魔法系列看得想哭。结尾邓布利多一个人站在雪里，让我想起在花生婚礼上，卷福一个人推开门，消失在夜色里的背影。“还有谁爱你呢邓布利多，你将从此孤独。”他说。触碰你时，心脏明明还跳得剧烈，他却消失在山崖，一去不返。杀人诛心啊！罗琳太太！😭
老头乐很好，麦子叔比前任强800倍，虽然剧情稀烂但是不妨碍我狠狠嗑到。GGAD作为hp宇宙的唯一真男同，privilege已经尽数体现了🥺
国内也拍过这个题材，可以说和印度差远了，虽然结局也是过于理想了，但好歹也探讨了一些问题
精致是很精致，漂亮也是很漂亮，大家的妆发和造型都很养眼！魔法场景在IMAX上看得也很爽！但是吧很多地方我也是不太懂啊……奎妮是叛变了个寂寞？我还以为她能是啥厉害的卧底或者有啥其他作用呢。那个卡玛是咋回事儿啊？那个漂亮的魔咒教授黑人姐姐的作用是啥啊为啥选她进了队伍啊？Credence怎么说叛变就叛变啊？选魔法主席的这整个过程感觉也是挺草率啊……女主角为啥被架空了啊？邓布利多为啥总是故弄玄虚神神秘秘啥都能知道啊……But anyway！GGAD磕哭了！怎么能这么伤！"Who would love you now？You're alone."啊天呐——拔叔看着邓布利多的眼神可真是太好磕，他也太适合渣攻这种形象了。品出了一点当年汉尼拔的味儿，宠溺深情又很侵犯性，太会啦太会啦！呜呜呜。
太长，也没什么波折，但居然就是能看的下去。1.4倍速正好。
怎么就麒麟了，明明就是小鹿斑比嘛；从头到尾两个字就能概括的剧情——(老邓和老格)解绑，拍了快两个半小时；罗琳老师想打造一个魔法界二战背景世界观，这部也很明确了；蒂娜在飘着细雪的纽约夜晚，款款走来参加婚礼，挺美的瞬间，可惜戏份居然少到这份上；整体来看三部拍到现在，一直让人觉得觉得剧情散乱，抓不住重点，只因故意把简单的两人前世今生到终极对决的故事，活活抻长，圈钱之心过于明显，相信待本“电视剧”全部上映后一定有网友会剪出一个合适的精简版本咳咳；结尾处的对生活回归正轨的渴望，此时此刻就像是对身处封控的人们说的，唉难过
代孕这个话题太大了，在动机上贯穿了医学父母和代孕妈妈从决定之初到胎儿落地的各种选择，全程伴随着伦理和情感问题。因此也就不难理解电影里面许多想当然的处理了，情节铺展得过于顺利，最后的结局也十分理想化，与严肃的现实比较想必还存在着不小的距离。
以轻喜剧的方式讲述代孕这个灰色地带的故事，较为完整，探讨也较深，结尾升华了主题。
really touched, Especially when they about hang over the Raj to the American couple, the grandpa was hiding that green toy which he used to played with Raj.
换了麦叔之后的格林德沃有味道多了，能迷倒裘德洛这事至少可信了，但这依旧改变不了这一系列不知所云的事实，观后有一种深深的“你们都在干嘛呀就这也值得拍五部电影去讲吗”的感受。鸡涩斯。
主线是一个既美化但也反思的代孕故事，副线是万年不变的印穆矛盾。以及涉及肤色歧视等问题。女主吃了一块裁缝粉笔？！那玩意能吃？！？
不是非要生小孩，才能做父母。不是非要有血缘关系，才能成为一家人。
何谓血缘 须得血肉相融 同生同长 否则仅仅是细胞与细胞的结合 染色体与染色体的碰撞 意义甚小。
以一種輕鬆詼諧的方式說一個沈重的主題，雖然最後電影有點狗血，但是不外乎整個電影其實是很引人入勝的。但是電影始終是電影，現實印度社會的代孕婦女並沒有那麼幸運，他們現實生活的處境更應該值得被關注。還有兒童領養問題，雖然起點是好的，但是時間演變下去，其實還是會產生很多的家庭問題。電影是好電影，但是現實比電影殘酷的太多太多了。
这个故事告诉我们年少时不要随便私定终身，否则以后想暴打白月光时就会很麻烦……
