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.
（2020年制作的，相当于是TV的重制版，作画质量肯定是高了很多。因为剧情细节完全不记得了，所以也不知道有多少新剧情。主角是亚丝娜，前半段是与桐人相遇前的故事，后半段是与桐人相遇后的故事。）

米特和亚斯娜还有桐人初始到SAO
最初的开始 心里的梦想 永远不会忘记的彼此
桐姥爷出来之前都非常无聊。。我对这种低级搞姬真不感兴趣，这剧情是平行宇宙吗，感觉和之前衔接不上
最喜欢sao篇，把第一季空白填满。这才是刀剑神域
女性意识的觉醒。但是不太看得懂，为什么黑帮老大会无条件帮女主，自从女主求了他一次后，女主要啥答应啥，不求回报是怎么当上黑帮老大的啊？以及，裁缝和卖了女主的前男友长得也太像了吧，女主为什么还会看得上他，令人困惑。以及，印度电影里名字确实难记😅
连夜看完爽的打了2套军体拳。
啊……看完后只能感慨原来这点剧情也能做成剧场版，重新嚯嚯第一季本篇的一种江郎才尽感
WOW既视感，满满的回忆.......Boss战BGM响起来就燃起来了
泰国大女主爽文！导演审美在线！质感和画面都优秀，女主美翻了！多一星给金手指~爽
出bug了吧 怎么想都和原著出bug了吧。。。
好看，找到了十年前看第一部时的感觉，又要重温第一部了
纯粉丝向的剧场版 但是我这种无脑粉对有些剧情都有点头大。先不说川原老贼吃书新弄个女二 弄就弄吧 中段操作还这么高血压（虽然这部没死 但他肯定后面会在某一次救亚丝娜的时候死掉 盲猜是微笑棺木讨伐战里）？我就想看个桐亚发糖 男主一半了才出来？阿尔戈了 亚丝娜前期最好的帮手小老鼠就在出现在台词里和最后1min？当然对于粉丝还是很开心的 他至少解释了亚丝娜经典发型和经典武器的由。来进击篇其实可以看作游戏小白结城明日奈变成前排玩家闪光的亚丝娜的成长史 亚丝娜前期不懂游戏的操作确实好笑 茅场晶彦广场摊派出现了主角组的所有镜头 最后一刻钟的boss战仿佛让我回到了2016年那个燥热的下午 我第一次看sao 之后一发不可收拾 入坑动漫。或许从来不是幽灵子弹、圣母圣咏、UW太烂 是sao和alo起的太高了
8.5分
安排了个女二却必须让她让位于男主，以后还没法少了她的戏份，只能说刀剑是卡在这里了。不过boss战的作画规格比tv高了一个层次，看得还是很爽的。
还是很水，情节照顾了粉丝和新观众，中庸无聊。今天是番剧开播十周年整的纪念日。
怎么说 故地重游 熟悉的感觉回来了 从亚丝娜线视角入手 确实没有太多新剧情或画面 但能看见亚丝娜前期成长过程 很值 求问万能豆瓣，难道这个剧场版就只是动漫第一季开头的补充吗 感觉还可以拍99个剧场版（每层一集）!!!

1、亚丝娜的脸画的有点崩…而且不止一处，真的是不应该
