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.
这部剧能在全球范围大火，说明人类的悲欢很大一部分其实是相通的。
没想到拍摄现场是有观众的，以及钱德勒和莫妮卡最终的情感走向某种程度上是观众撮合的结果，看到这些幕后更加明白这个剧作的可贵之处，演员和主创们都太优秀可爱了。a wonderful dream
其实从上一部开始就已经不知道在说啥了，这部我直接放弃，就只是看过。为着追剧的这么多年也算划上句号了。终于 终了。
？？？？？五星都给宇多田光吧那就 再见 再见了
这或许是最好的重聚方式了：大家一起回到当年的片场，以答题的方式讲讲当年的轶事，听主创说说选角的过程，像当年进行剧本围读一样重现名场面，派配角们出来露个脸，以时装表演形式呈现以前的造型，还有那些不为人知的未能修成正果的crush...没有狗尾续貂也没有强行增添什么，六位主演都放松很动情，比预想中好太多了。能创造和参演这样的剧集何其幸运，能和陪伴自己十年的搭档成为好友何其幸运，遇到这部剧的观众何其幸运。
老粉丝们明明都长大了，却还在拍家长里短和宅男的那点儿破事。有几幕3D建模的打斗场景之粗糙笨拙还不如毕业生作品；越来越理解和喜欢明日香，但是不停地拍她的底裤裸体和私处是想恶心谁？！想吐的地方比感动的地方多十倍吧。

Boyfriends and girlfriends are gonna come and go,but this is for life.
爆哭！！！！人生是何等的错过和悔恨啊，懦弱又执着的人都会走下去的！！！
我的青春啊！Joey现在变这么胖是因为他一直贯彻never share food吗？
对某些剧迷而言，《老友记》于他们可能有几年、十几年甚至二十几年的情怀，但对我来说却只有一年左右的情感，毕竟去年六月初我才终于十季一集不落地追看完这部有235集的情景喜剧。—— 看了删减版又去补了完整版，对比之下发现的几处删减：1. 世界粉丝采访段落，韩国的BTS、德国，里卡多：“我是一名同性恋者，想拥有詹妮弗·安妮斯顿的发型，你就能想像有时候，我有多么孤单。”（墨西哥，LIZ：……就像钱德勒一样，我也找到我的莫妮卡。→ 这个应该是Les吧？可能因为没有明示，所以得以被保留？）；2. Lady Gaga与丽莎·库卓一起弹唱《Smelly Cat Medley》的段落；3. Justin Bieber的「卫星土豆装」走秀；……
十四年前的夏天，我十四岁，真嗣也十四岁。十四年后的夏天，真嗣找回了父亲，我失去了父亲。
某种意义上还是一种竭力的表演吧，认识到要假装观众需要的激情。
与其抱怨是贩卖情怀，我愿称之为最强售后。虽然有限时长内安排还是太仓促赶场子明显，但不够完美的特别篇或许证明了正片结局的圆满。
After so many years, it still brings tears to my eyes and smiles to my face. LOVED it forever.
1:43:51。看了男主创的访谈我很难不怀疑菲比代孕的情景是夹带私货。我也一样的疑问“那个墙是紫色的?”以前真的没注意。想知道菲比到底有多香，见面拥抱完，TA们都说“你好香”。“臭臭猫”合唱真的惊喜。爱菲比，除了她代孕那个部分。再看场景布置真的还是很经典和好看。但现在看剧集我更想看到有无性恋和女同（不领养不代孕的）CP的剧或电影了。最后的时装秀犰狳套装好像下面的套装标签还没有摘掉。反而想看钱德那部2194年行李员的科幻剧。确实泪目和经典。老友记代表了友情和很多，陪我走过了青年时期和迷茫以及其他
纪念看老友记的那段青葱岁月，还有那个时间陪在我身边的人
Could it BE any later？ 连David和Jennifer的暧昧往事也要来炒一炒，还有全球观众代表的PC都证明了浓浓的商业考量。但还是很认同制作人的初心：进入家庭前每天跟朋友混在一起的生活，那时我们有梦，关于hang around，关于爱情。想起永远绑在一起的曾拥有无限可能性的年轻的时候，只有一声叹息。
所以他们也没演什么新剧情就这么逼逼了一晚上就能拿300万美元？什么逼玩意
看上去很美好的重聚特辑，但背后有很多乱七八糟不足与外人道的事情，要不然电影版早就出来了，有分量的客串一个都请不来。这里的主角不是Friends，而是HBOMAX，其实他们都是来给流媒体站台的，而流媒体正是杀死公共电视台和情景喜剧的元凶。剧中六个人里面最喜欢钱德勒，但马修派瑞现在的状态好差，让人心疼。最惊喜的爆料是，是因为现场观众的反应才让制作人决定将让钱德勒和莫妮卡从一夜情发展为地下情的，这很酷。
