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.
化学反应很好，全钟瑞我可以，就是确实剧本太套路了
单说剧情的话，太幼稚单调，没起伏波澜，一眼看到结局。
年初无意中看到的。当时看了预告感觉是爱情轻喜剧。搜《配对游戏》没搜出来，原来是台版译名。内地的译名怕是避免鼓吹某些风气吧，所以翻译得有点正经但也算是有意义。毕竟“除了恋爱，我们其它事都做过了”。
3.5男女主实在太有化学反应了，重点都在两人的第一次见面，中间的过程略微走马灯（故事模式化、加浪费了点这两位这么有性张力的演员，剪辑弄得我以为是删减版）让后面感情升温略微有点不够说服力。不过结尾还是很可爱，你的习惯成为了我的习惯
孙锡久！！！为什么如此sexy！！！why！！！
是我喜欢的那种浪漫轻喜剧，虽然俗套，但轻松。让我想起《我的PS搭档》。19禁的台词元素也用得比较恰当，展现了30代男女的真实困境，不想恋爱，但想被爱。全钟瑞演欲求不满的女性居然意外的古灵精怪，孙锡久也有一种性冷淡的奇怪魅力，两人的搭配既违和又融洽，怪有意思的。
比较无趣，俗套，肤浅的性话题。故事简单，没有故弄玄虚搞点精神拔高也算勉强的可取之处。

愛的感情，十幾歲是在腦子裡，二十幾歲是在心髒裡，三十歲以上就從肚臍眼往下走。導演把眼光放在了性這一需求上，能不能不談戀愛，光解決性的需求?結果還是不能免俗，做愛做出了愛，可以看見導演在電影中對於戀愛的一些有趣的見解以及對於男人的吐槽，不過，說到底，性愛是不能長久的，性癮者畢竟是少數，人不能光靠性愛就不會感到孤獨，可能生活與靈魂上的關懷是大家願意談戀愛的理由吧。
感觉他俩都不怎么适合这种比较入世的、生活气息很重的角色。
男女主都很……奇特。女主的奇特来源于一段失败的感情，男主的奇特是真的……奇奇怪怪，抱走礼金簿真什么迷之操作。很轻松，但总觉得看了个寂寞。
为了说说话，做爱才去谈恋爱，这是他们一直在做的事啊
故事毫无新意，演员到还演得不错，尤其全钟瑞，四两拨千金的感觉，不得不感叹，有些演员就是有天赋又灵光。
为了说说话，做爱才去谈恋爱，这是他们一直在做的事啊
韩国版《爱情神话》。小品式的爱情一定要靠演技支撑，孙锡久魅力王者。
由爱生爱的故事多么甜蜜啊，生活这么苦这样的心点还是多来一些吧！
tacky但真的是我的神仙男女主！两位头顶泡沫的镜头可爱死了><
台词挺经典的，女人呻吟是为了带动自己！提一星
22_016。就是一般的恋爱电影，没啥特别感觉，结尾有点弱了，全钟瑞全场都很灵
最终恋爱没有缺席，如期而至。一眼望到头的熟悉剧本，全靠全钟瑞的部分加分，她好漂亮好可爱再带点小性感。
