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.
故事有点散，各种倒叙，让人看的莫名其妙。战斗场面少了点，但也算精彩。
叙事和镜头有点混乱，但还是看完了，向英雄致敬
说干就干 就是这么霸道。有仇必报。就看个场面，感情线剧情一般。
没有第一部精彩。上海来的太差劲了，完全不在一个档次，导致动作戏没有展开。
中规中矩的主旋律电影。感情戏偏多，战斗场景主要在结尾，不过很有武德。
这才是高明的外宣，现实中，俄罗斯没用蛮劲，有人甚至觉得“软”，但影片烘托气氛到位，观感不错，中国很多主旋律片子需要学习！手雷硬汉！军犬有话说……苏联末期军心涣散，做生意成了第一要务！俄罗斯对于苏联的评价真的变了，军人感触最深，毕竟经历过90年代的混乱深渊……国外照B超司空见惯。苏24虽老但酷，并列双座交流方便！机翼瑜伽！小胡子太恶搞了！新战车迟迟不能列装！俄罗斯察打一体无人机二流。点明美国支援恐怖分子！枪战有水平！普通航弹投得这么准？熊抱……导弹不能发射后不管，俄罗斯导引头研发缺钱……恐怖分子扫射伞降飞行员还摄像，low！文戏剪辑不好，破坏节奏……直升机迫降真悬！土耳其由此乱起来了……美女太赞了！片尾曲提分！
大场面镜头不多，不过很刺激，最后的场面太快了吗点
另外看了几部俄罗斯电影，发现他们挺喜欢回忆插叙的，就是一个片段在整个电影中不断回忆
45岁的资深飞行员，面对着家庭债务和子女物质生活需要，被妻子劝说着准备着接受来中国开民航，谈着话，荣誉感战胜了张口闭口的钱，走上叙利亚战场，最后死在了跳伞途中…儿子知道消息后不哭不闹，立志继承父亲遗志
所有人都出来一下下，不知道的还以为第一部火了所以大家都来蹭个镜头呢！
超能，绝对力量什么的，在这里面也很作弊啊作弊。
导演你知道自己在拍什么东西吗？不是特效多就好看的，你是在拍魔术片吗？挥一挥手风起云涌，一个眼神杀人无形。
战斗民族可怕的地方，在电影最后，战死机长的儿子走上前去，答应父亲，长大要成为飞行员，双眼充满愤怒。
这类型的片子感觉都差不多，英雄主义哪个国家都一样，感情线铺垫太长了
西巴变成韩国超英片了……女主和四人组的差距等同四人组和凡人的差距，总之太强了
没有网上宣传的那么惊艳，没有想象中惊艳，不过也挺好看。
男一演员是著名的Igor Petrenko。都没列出来
韩国超级英雄电影宇宙，这部飞天遁地时间控制都是小意思。胡乱拼凑的一部电影建议别看！

是这个妹妹打戏太菜了所以不让她动手吗？
