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.
一个人的离开先从身体的离开，再从精神上剥离。可是，记忆。或许是可以复制，但情感不能复刻。
片中用医疗式生命决策合同经期可能的卸去道德的包袱。当然你能感到的是，科学家的功利意愿像针一样戳破生活生命脆弱的气泡。
二十分钟能讲完的事愣是要拍成俩小时。所幸影片有超强的美术风格和精致的配乐，当俩小时mv看每一帧都是享受。

故事戛然而止，仅可以作为黑镜中的一集的程度。
构思好，节奏慢，而且看上去有点故意慢。。。
没有猎奇式的阴谋和反转，就是讲述科技如何以人为本的温暖故事。
呼唤着我的名字
如果不按照科幻伦理片来看 毕竟剧本和逻辑上的漏洞还是很多的 单纯当作家庭和文艺电影 片子还是有很多可圈可点之处 用了大量笔墨细腻的梳理整个翻墙流动 结构和节奏非常缓慢耐心 一切都围绕着主角的内心世界设计 也算是助力冲奥片才有的效果
4.5-从《廊桥遗梦》哭到《天鹅挽歌》。不去深究那些深刻的伦理观念，重要的是我爱你，我还能继续爱你。
你担心你去世后家人无法接受，找个克隆人代替你，有没有想过你太太，母亲，父亲也是这样想的，结果一家子克隆人生活在一起，其乐融融。
我想我也很难和自己的一生和解，我们都是。
究竟是阿里把这个角色变装逼了 还是阿里把啥都变装逼了 阿里能不能挑战一下演个kevinhart那种角色
老题材，跟风而已。不过表演实在精彩，喜欢看老戏骨戏的，肯定会很爱。
没想到这几个人物的演出就完成了这样一部有内容的好电影，看的过程中就有想流泪的感觉，看到影片最后两行热泪也跟着流下来，很完美的收尾。
哇我的梦想就是整一个这种仿生人让我能没有任何心理负担的去死🙏
有点儿托卡尔丘克的味道。 对了，天鹅一名是对应诗神吧？
小清新文艺科幻 没有侧重于伦理/认知/被替代这些冲突性的角度 而是从情感上描绘 男主从愤怒到不甘到接受 最后的最后看着爱人对自己（的克隆体）说 i will love you always 释然放手 || 我觉得太悲伤了 T_T 个体明明都消亡了你爱的人和爱你的人却不知道 - 没有人会怀念你纪念你追悼你想着你流泪 他们只会和另一个你创造你无法参与的新的回忆。自私的我肯定不会做出男主的选择。
我还没死，你已经爱上另一个我，还是我安排的😂比我优秀或者不如我，都让我难过。
通过传输记忆，重新回忆一路走来的种种，猛然惊醒仿佛瞬移一般。看着自己代替自己与家人交流，越是熟练越是心疼，只有小狗发现了掌中痣的秘密。最后一次取下孩子的姓名，如爱人般交接象征身份的戒指，重新肩负使命完成最后的陪伴。
