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.
直面疼痛 不做任何粉饰和切割
结合最近新闻，感觉同一片天空下，女性的一切都不属于自己，而男性却可以在法律之外，轻松自在。这部电影可以成为推广性教育科普的影片，而不是成为一部禁片。当然一些男性只会批评影片拍的如何不精致，重点永远不会放在女性本身。
同题材类型中不算出类拔萃也无颠覆性，都是老生常谈的调子，倒是想起于佩尔在《女人韵事》中饰演的因为帮人非法堕胎而被判死刑的家庭主妇。
“一种只攻击女性的病，使她们变为家庭主妇的病。”
一種身體語言的影像，卻又沒有〈鈦〉那麼（表面上）激進。詞語的現在進行時語意，就是『正發生』
时代威权下，无法掌控身体/心灵的权利桎梏被曲解为屈从欲望的惩罚、被表现为自残式的疼痛；久远年代的恐惧，之于此后的女性仍然正发生。
铁钳、剪断脐带
绝了，为了D胎找到一个渣男传授经验，大智慧
泪流满面，太痛了，只有女性能懂的痛，只有女性会得的病。
“你病了？” “一种只会攻击女性的病，让她们变成家庭主妇的病”…
【芝加哥电影节】北美首映。没有传说中的”惊悚“，但也恰到好处。摄影非常出色，大部分镜头都是rack focus, 观众们跟随安妮的视角感受真真切切的疼痛。
太疼了，女人看了更觉得难受。没人能帮你，孤立无援。
7.1分。
7.6/很多面部特写，这层铺垫以致后面DIY和第一次堕胎两场戏聚焦的面部都让人心里有种生理上的共鸣。在毅然决然下，恍惚中那声“自然流产”让人终于平静。
海浪的晃动。清透单调的高频打击乐声和逐渐降调的钢琴单音按键。干冷的流水记录式叙述。好直白的疼。
没想到袋鼠和沈腾之间也会拥有这么搞笑和可爱的相爱相杀画面！
女孩很清醒。最喜欢她去找老师要求补课的那一段：「对我来说那不是最重要的事」。
女孩很清醒。最喜欢她去找老师要求补课的那一段：「对我来说那不是最重要的事」。
一部不忍直视的“冒险史”，我们被“捆绑”在女主周围却无法介入和挽救，被动的经历这段虽不及她承受的百分之一却已足够残酷的受难，三次堕胎，直指历史的三层罪孽：虚情假意的权威欺骗，走投无路的个体自虐，以及被左右在窒息濒死的炼狱中意外未被碾灭的幸存者的渺小，当然最终还是留下了希望与真相，但哪怕女性权利终于崛起，今日必然也无法同历史保持着绝对安全的距离，我们仍身在其中，一次次恐怖的对身体的摧残与流血，也是向历史的回击，伤痕与悲悯中，女主被赋予了强烈的宗教意味，然当下的人们又有谁在牺牲和落泪，仍该叩问，仍该抗争。
女主好看，皮肤细腻，眼睛眉毛鼻子经典型法国味，后背线条狠好，一直都穿挺少。女配和女主真像，还眼熟，果然是燃女里头的女配，主要任务也是搞堕胎
