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.
被撞破前的部分实在是太动人了，值得满分。后来的部分不作评价。打分仅作标记，不作推荐。
看电影的时候，一直想着，电影的配乐与哪部电影有些相似，终于找到，是《薇塔与弗吉尼亚》里面的《Printing Orlando》。
圣经上偷偷触摸的指尖、厕所里让人心动的背后抱、浴缸中为爱接受的洗礼，终究敌不过现实，宗教对人性的压抑堪比封建礼教。
以为在蹦床上努力空翻，就能翻过平庸。在泳池里使劲憋气，就会不再普通。最划算的不是逃掉了自习，而是钻进泳池。最珍贵的不是追上了公车，而是没错过你们。最大的收获不是转体三十七周半，而是为平庸且普通的自己努力了一次。我们可以做海洋公园的劳力，被婚恋网站欺瞒，却不能被取消青春的表演资格。
还真是很好地诠释了“爱是不嫉妒又恒久忍耐”。
前半段来说，翻得相当不错了，心无旁骛的中二多好啊。后半截应该是编剧和导演被绑架了。
最悲哀的是，肉体不能相随，只能寄希望于精神 live together forever
好像真是这样的，我们这类人群做不到果断干脆，表面看似离开，其实稍微勾勾手就回头，一生的极致拉扯让我们沉浸在爱和痛苦的边缘......自我解脱都是蒙蔽自己的心理暗示，实则怎么解脱得了？结婚那位，借以宗教之名，用愚蠢将自己的幸福埋葬，这还没完，还葬送另一个。总的看下来，感觉跟我即将要面临的人生有极大的相似之处啊。
这个宗教元素，总是给我一种古装内核套了个当代皮的错觉。
不用说爱，握住你的双手，在我的信仰下亲吻你。“我一个人的信念足以支撑我们两个。”多么荒唐又多么坚定。
比想象的好多了 挺喜欢的 说到底所有人都是在寻找认同
看完真的心塞许久…一时不知道说什么。好棒的一部片子，女主又帅又美，对手戏张力十足，好久没有打五星的女同片了
优缺点都很明显。很喜欢前面潜伏于禁忌之下的试探、暧昧、拉扯（满分的chemistry！可惜后续处理得较平、稍显潦草，似乎缺少一个情绪爆点（btw Jaime真的好帅、我好爱、、
吻戏好评，故事完整度还有欠缺。Jaime换成红发就是妥妥的火吻了。
这个电影告诉我们：不结婚不生孩子就能永葆青春。ps：电影原声带在哪里
放在暑期档，它好过今年所有青春片。但挪到国庆档，被大片夹击下就显得困境重重。全片看下来，笑声不断、泪点直击，5个少年的纯粹和自然，在当下国产片中属于惊喜之作，没有堕胎等狗血情节，拍出了国产青春励志片应有的样子，而它不该只有这点评分和票房。全国最重名的队长张伟，窝囊又软弱，出淤泥而染全身，基本功和绝活都离他很远。但当他在医院自责痛哭流涕说“我就想练花泳，太南了，我这个队长没当好”时，慈母心突然泛滥，心疼死。最后腾空而跃的后空翻，就像莲花出世的哪吒一样灿烂发光。平凡的少年，生活再不好不坏、不上不下，但孤独的路上一定有风，不是只有惊天动地才辉煌。看不到太多日本原版的影子，感触是另一部《跳出我天地》。“蝈蝈妈”可以笑一年。
《违命》前传啊
但依然不可否认它是部不错的青春片，甚至是今年最好的之一
夜幕下以上帝之名的亲吻，狭小空间里从背后传来的温热，浴缸里只属于彼此的洗礼，以及想把你的肉体揉进我灵魂的瞬间……那些都是我们相爱的证据。
暧昧氛围有加分了，但抱歉还是没办法get到宗教的东西……
