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.
女主角真的给人感觉很不舒服，说话的方式甚至语调都让人厌烦，很装，相反刘承羽的气质、身材和五官简直是完美。
3.5 能与逝者对话本是个有温度的技能亦是天赋 女主Lou de Laâge太有魅力了 同时看到了凯特温斯莱特和蕾雅赛杜结合体的感觉
这片子真的有点尴尬，前半段的窥中窥的设计很出彩，如果到女主去展览现场发现自己被设计了就结束的话，至少值4星，加上三个美女帅哥的肉体可以上5星。但她偏偏要复仇，就画蛇添足沦为平庸之作了。
压抑 令人难堪 无止尽的痛苦 感谢最后的逃脱和救赎
最后的反转确实掉分，男主的摄影展不展示女模特，而是展示别人家的隐私，真能出名吗
摄影和配乐都是一流，演员的表演也相当出彩，但节奏太过于平了，毫无起伏，两个钟头的片竟然没有一个瞬间能让我心动，太可惜了，明明可以成为飞跃疯人院那样激励人心的片子......虽然是梅拉尼的粉，但感觉她作为导演还是要继续努力才行啊
当你凝视深渊的时候，深渊也在凝视你：刚乔迁新居的热恋情侣在因为好奇心从无意中偷窥邻居夫妇赤膊上阵、盘肠大战，到一步步陷入肉体、快感和诱惑的欲海沉沦，在偷窥与被偷窥中，一张张高清照片让个人隐私荡然无存，甚至引来了死神的光顾；然而螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后，善恶到头终有报，玩弄人心的衣冠禽兽也必将受到受害者绝望的反戈一击。被荷尔蒙操纵的痴男怨女们，永远理不清肉欲和爱情的先来后到。
都在说最后反转不高级，但是结局必须反转，不然无法揭露女主男友死的真相，女主看到那么多鸟死了这个镜头就莫名其妙了，然后女主男友自杀也会很突兀，没看出他有多爱竟然还会自杀。叙事我觉得挺好的，中途隐隐的不太对头的感觉，最后结局都给你讲合理。
女主角真的给人感觉很不舒服，说话的方式甚至语调都让人厌烦，很装，相反刘承羽的气质、身材和五官简直是完美。
三星给全片所有敬业的演员。片子虽然烂，但是你们的好身材烙印在了我心里。
你在对面偷窥，其实你也在对面被偷窥。
压抑 令人难堪 无止尽的痛苦 感谢最后的逃脱和救赎
這部科教片告訴我們，偷窺別人和被人偷窺都不會有好下場的。
剧情脑残的情色片，男一女一二的身材都很棒！
妖魔化有天分的女性，再割掉她们的舌头，打入父权制牢笼。
虽然觉得不要反转可能会更好，但是这个反转还挺……适度的。
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
别的挺好，是个简单的故事，细节也都注意到了，但是这个女主的表演一点进化都没有，相当于你见了十年鬼魂了还是常见常新，反应上一点变化都没有。还有进了疯人院一有点啥事就是呼吸急促一个表现，没有过几次习惯了以后是什么样的那种进化。我觉得这角色要是个更成熟点的演员可能层次就出来了。
【B】将悬疑与情色元素结合得很好，几位主演也是相当养眼，不过最后低级的反杀桥段到是有些敷衍和累赘。
如果打砸时候发现了真实证据就太牛了，现代行为艺术
