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.
我太喜欢了 我真的好羡慕导演能写出这样的对话内容 可能就是情色和色情的区别 我想到了火口的两人 这没有什么可耻的。最后那一幕很妙 或许只有女主自己才能取悦自己。“我很高兴你来了”
be anxious for nothing.
看了女机长原型的采访，更感动了，她说她把这个看了101遍，每一遍都能从中获得感动和力量，导演没有长时间让观众沉浸在悲伤里，用inspiring的手法让人们记住了发生在纽芬兰岛Gander小镇的故事。
I'm an islander, and No Man Is An Island. 2021年的最后再来看依旧哭唧唧，依旧为这部作品所鼓舞，依旧最喜欢那首汇成同一个旋律的信仰之歌，我们如此不同却又如此相通。
这调度也太牛逼了吧，一群人几张椅子几件衣服讲述一个5天里元素多到爆的故事，期待改成迷你剧
女主演技很棒，让她说大段台词的时候尤其好。剧情感觉有些乏味，它试图构建起一种对性的探讨，包含性自由，高潮，性工作者等等，但是这种探讨好像只针对剧中的这一个漂亮大男孩，我不能想象这样的探讨如果在现实世界里会多么荒诞，你告诉一个以此为生挣扎在生存线上从未受过教育的人说，你应该以你的职业围为荣，你妈妈不该对你失望。这听起来很像个玩笑，是个不能让人笑出来的玩笑。确实人都有尊严，确实职业无贵贱，但是面对现实里的痛苦人生，谁能拿着这么一部干净漂亮做爱都在干净旅馆里的剧来有底气证明这一切呢？象牙塔里不缺天才，但天才可能没光脚站在土地上。

OBC原卡的官摄太好看了，当全场灯光变暗，Welcome to the Rock的前奏响起，演员们走出来的时候，我直接就哭出来！原来五月份录的时候是有观众的，我一直以为是空场录的，这是回宽街的第一批观众。CFA多么诚心，感谢让我拥有OBC，五星点赞！
两个相互有秘密的人，通过年龄差的欲望，还有所谓正常社会秩序下的面具人类，放下了一切墨守成规，彼此放下戒备也相互治愈。性就像是空气，享受愉悦，而不是享受禁锢享受混乱。残酷的是现实生活里可没这么高质量的牛郎哦吼吼！
真的不是应招宣传片吗233演技太好了leo这个top真是让人心服口服 没想到叫个鸭能引申到女性身份 自我认同和亲子关系的讨论还能进行心灵疗愈 真是大善！单一场景很考验剧本台词和演技了
1⃣️最后非要去调查人家真实身份想要帮助人家就有点多余了哈，非常“女/母性”，总以为可以改变/拯救男人2⃣️话痨片，我的爱，感谢电影，又对我脑中“女性找男技师话题”拓展了新的视角3⃣️Nancy的解放日记，万岁！4⃣️男主太帅太帅了好性感，期待更多作品，大火吧！
有了Ham的官摄在前，这次反而觉得还是录音更好听。（果然还是要先看现场版啊！近距离摄像丢了太多细节了）
至暗时刻下人们自发的互助太感人了，舞台装置只有桌子椅子和一个旋转的地板，演员们一人饰多角，更重要的是作为音乐剧每一段旋律都很好听，比汉密尔顿精彩太多，享受了一场淋漓尽致的演出
QAQ 再看一遍，还是stop the world最戳我 时间好快啊
优雅、梦幻、纯粹。这是日暮西山之际的富贵体验，也是极致理想的愉悦。男主的从容不迫和女主的左顾右盼在一开始就相当抓人。探讨的话题深度和真实性令人感慨万千，极具话题的切入点，高雅的表演，密集的台词和循序渐进的性爱模式引人入胜。很好看。
"A powerful celebration of humanity."
find you pleasure and enjoy it❤️
这部影片显然对性工作者做了过于完美的演绎，但有一点是无疑的：对于买来的性，都是从突破自己的道德防线开始，然后是对性工作者的好奇打探，然后成为一种游戏周旋。当然，性是需要启发的，不论这经验从何而来，只要利用得当，它就不会只是生活的点缀那么简单。
昨天又看了一遍，官摄太好了，依然热泪盈眶，so here we are, where the world has come together
艾玛姨赛高！
