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.
真的是拿着傲慢与偏见的剧本拍啊，下雨都要复制，看来全世界的txl都很爱演下雨争吵的戏码

一般般吧，都是套路。
It’s summer fairytales in Gay Disneyland. And I just loved watching it in this hot summer!
虽然并没有特别好看，但有第二部的话，我还会看的。
奇怪白人的白眼，judging 。Just let it fu*k off. 世界那么多爱，最基本的还是要爱自己。
哈哈哈哈哈，符合我大概的预期，总不会有人当奥斯卡获奖片看吧？
糊弄亚裔男同性恋的时候能不能起码走一点点心🤏
对《傲慢与偏见》的演绎不错哎，通讯录的刻画都非常typical。一开始真的吵到我的眼睛了。
或许现世真的没有这样的剧情，但谁不向往美好呢
虽然感觉乱糟糟的，但是主线一直都在，值的观看。
在无法选择的凌晨两点，这个流畅的故事拖着我看完，所有的情节点虽然意料之中也很有戏剧剧情的节奏，但是依然想让人看下去。期待着一种美好的感情
safe card playing feel good movie~
你是天国的花园，有着千变万化的风采。你是星际的云海，有着遥远梦境般的温柔。
天呐天呐 我真的好喜欢这种片子！！搞搞笑笑轻轻松松，最后will的一举一动真的让我激动到尖叫！！太帅了will，谁不想要个这样的top？又温柔又帅有钱还双商高！我好像真的看同性片儿更容易感到悸动的满足！当noah在犹豫着想以后的种种矛盾的时候，will说的hey its just a dance真的把我的心都说化了。是啊，及时行乐，活在当下，以后的事情以后都会慢慢解决的！停在这个fireisland真的太美好了！ppps！片头和片尾都太可爱啦！
每一个人设，每一个情节，都似曾相识（夸张），总的来说就是老套，倍速看完
chick flick plus版 比起男女爱情 新颖 理想化程度更好
表里不一的dex是对欧美政治正确的反讽吗？！
对傲慢与偏见架构的作品都没什么太大的喜好，很平淡的能看下去的，简单来说就是两个普普条件男钓上层男的故事
