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.
画风不错，就是头上两根毛看着老是想压下去~还有那中间一捋发，强迫症犯了😫
全程跟着剧中人物一起紧张，算是沉浸式观影体验了。
为了一镜到底剧作不择手段，不停编写不和逻辑/常规的冲突，涉及餐饮行业的细节，一些地方对，但一些地方很错很错，为了服务戏剧冲突。但是一镜到底还是颇为成功，戏剧感满满之余电影独特的视听还是很丰满。结尾很不喜欢，人物塑造缺失灵魂感，只有面对冲突的应激反应，很遗憾。多给一颗🌟给场面调度的训练/掌控，基本还是不错，值得电影院一看。
很精彩，漂亮而大胆的一镜到底，一个半小时里只讲了很小的一件事，就是圣诞节当晚一家餐厅的混乱，但是从前台到后厨，从顾客到服务
额，这里的生活真有一镜到底般的压迫感，哪的小领导都会喊你要不想干外面一长串人等着排队！甜点部母亲和儿子的那一个拥抱，年轻的时候怀疑着一切总有外来神秘力量的召唤。
.……月红又发大刀，“为了我，你扬名立万”，“妖仙姐姐，嫁给我吧”，虽然好看，但是虐死了
我以为这部漫王权富贵会出现很多，结果就最后出现了，官方发图骗我看
《沸点》是一部由北野武执导，石田百合子 / 柳忧怜 / 北野武主演的一部 动作 / 喜剧 / 犯罪 / 剧情 / 惊悚
画质太差！很多片段都是直接照搬动漫里的，而且感觉我的月初和红红变丑了，脸型能戳死人，雅雅布料变多了，莫名其妙的
为了情怀给个四星吧 虽然感觉画风变了好多 而且按照剧版最后续缘的东方月初已经很老了 既然黑狐只是分身 富贵也杀了它 那么权潼后面发生的故事应该是面对真正的黑狐才让富贵转世的 猜测下一部就是权潼2了
看见月红二字着实激动，毕竟当时看《小红娘》时最喜欢的就是月红篇。在七夕的今天看到月红“2”极致踩点。可惜不知道是不是想重现月红刚开篇时2016年的画风还是怎样，竟然能在2021看见这么复古的蒙上一层雾气的效果，也是难得。
希望我们每个人都不会成为Carly。。 以及最近看什么片都会受到incoming中年焦虑的冲击 饶了我吧球球了
内容紧凑，不拖沓，好一个前世今生。没系统性看过动画，不过很期待故事的发展~
盲选的电影 以为是拍食物的买了好吃的进去 结果剧情令人根本吃不下 看到中后期有点闹听
这基本就是套用月红篇里的剧情，然后也就加了一点东西，补充了一些情节，但感觉还是啥少，而且时长好短啊。东方月初也没这么露胸肌啊。。。感觉像暴露狂啊。。
额，这里的生活真有一镜到底般的压迫感，哪的小领导都会喊你要不想干外面一长串人等着排队！甜点部母亲和儿子的那一个拥抱，年轻的时候怀疑着一切总有外来神秘力量的召唤。
这部动漫看的相当于是那种情怀，但就是时长有点短，不太够看，加更吧
被这对姐弟恋感动到不行……
我觉得还可以，做的还不错啊，继续加油吧!!!!大家可以看看
