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.
从《白莲花》里我就敏锐的发现这个女主的胸超大，即使在剧里始终穿宽松不显身材的衣服，在这片里终于印证了，可惜的是导演没有从后面用镜
真的烂尾。这个世界是没有警察和法律的嘛？偷拍别人的照片能卖画廊赚大钱？自杀还是被毒杀法医验不出来？弄瞎别人眼睛不用坐牢？？ 到摄影展这边报警抓黑红摄影师夫妻就很完美了啊。
最后的结局还是挺让人舒服的😎四个人一个都别想逃…
偷窥者反被偷窥，然后惨遭报复。能得到的一个教训就是不要觊觎别人的生活。
5.1/10 男女主被对面情色场面吸引开始窥视对窗，后女主发现渐渐爱上了对窗的男主。机缘巧合结识了对窗女主同情其丈夫经常出轨并匿名提醒对窗女主，谁料酿成自杀惨剧，男女主也因此分手，一天男主回来发现女主竟跑去对面与对窗男发生关系遂自杀。原来这一切都是对窗的阴谋，女主猜测是对窗两口子杀死其男友，于是报复对窗两口子，令二人失明无法再进行偷窥的勾当。剧情扯淡，逻辑不通
反转很到位！你凝视深渊的时候，深渊也在凝视你。
主角颜值都在线，剧情也不错，还探讨了伴侣关系，人际关系……原来圣母之所以圣母的本质是他们实在不聪明，预测不到未来，只能提出问题但想不到解决的办法，甚至无法设身处地的换位思考，只是想满足自己自以为是的私欲，然后美其名曰为他人好。
影片拍得还是挺精致，故事讲述得还算流畅，演员的表演尚佳。不过影片最大的问题，在于导演并未想清楚电影主题的方向，即导演究竟想表达什么。她在各个方向上犹豫着，不想做取舍，但表达起来又相互矛盾。其实，放弃一些时髦的东西，就拍一部商业片，恐怕会拍得更好看一些。
女主的思维方式可真是另辟蹊径，这个国家的法律可真是形同虚设，看的我可真是呆若木鸡..烂出翔的剧情硬是强行加了一个烂反转，你还别说，没这个反转还真让我直接睡着了，就冲这个让我瞬间清醒的反转，一星我可以给到一星半，还有半星那还用问？自然只能是女主的胸器发功啦。
This one is quite a mix of thrills and spills and twists and turns. The moral of this movie: don’t invest too much in other people’s lives because grass isn’t always greener on the other side and sometimes the other side might claim your life. And always pull the damn curtains!
It's the world that is crazy, but it's us who are taken into asylum,
还有点意思，主要偷窥欲拍得很好，sex也到位。反转嘛虽然意外，但是没啥感觉，感觉女主做什么都没啥意义了，毕竟是人尽皆知了，两夫妻防备之心太弱了。
鼻祖源于希胖
互相偷窥互相伤害，你家不拉窗帘我家也不拉窗帘。结尾的毒杀设定和复仇情节略显多余，降解了对女主情欲烧身又同情心泛滥的多面体内心的塑造，同时将伊索寓言的寓意也降格了。
(1:21:37开始正片)
偷窥能拍出新意真是件不容易的事情，简单就是偷窥大战呀，男友死得也太冤了！
无聊的偷窥….. 两个男主的嗓音都好难听。
如果你不是在乎我的外表
到结尾之前都不错，剧情的反转很有意思。可惜结尾太烂了
