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.
只能跟著邦德去看世界風光，原來英雄也會落幕，但老驥伏櫪依然風采依然，一板一眼都是未來頭不禿、臉不垮、腰不垂的楷模啊。以及好想念LHR以及以Q為代表的口音啊。【WandaBB】
真遗憾不能打零颗星。金刚狼、钢铁侠、007，这是我第三个喜欢的男性superhero以生了个女儿然后死亡告终。大无语事件，不想再多说一个字。毁灭吧，烦了。
不论这部007谢幕影片有多烂，也遮挡不住赛杜和阿玛斯双星闪耀。克雷格出演的这个系列007，皇家赌场+幽灵党+无暇赴死，可以说是一个完整的三部曲，故事线有联系，前后呼应，少看一部，观众就可能很难共情。而于我，这5部里只推荐看2部足矣，皇家赌场+天幕杀机，其它3部都没什么灵魂。
7.片中出现的一定是奇瑞路虎，不然我无法解释为什么被二手大众撞成那个样子
无论是女007还是黑人007，都比我们想象中的来的要早，但不知道选角导演是怎么想的，找来了一个身材臃肿的黑人大妈，实在是让人难以接受。
还是能爽到。局部戏也很精彩，尤其是开场以及那首告别气质的主题曲。
导演很喜欢用蓝色啊，是在隐指007的瞳孔色么，当然他女儿也是传承了这种颜色。
丹尼尔的007是非常成功的，块儿头虽然小了一些，灵气多了不少。
邦德说过：“人生在世，应该去生活，
这故事有逻辑吗？ 邦德先和CIA打MI6 再和MI6打反派 反派仇都报完了 幽灵党都团灭了 反而突然变身灭霸了？ 邦德不能再接近人了就干脆一心求死了？
只有Ana de Armas参与的那场戏是好看的，剩下的都是啥？那不如让她接棒下一任007得了。号称是日俄争议岛屿，C-17刚冒个头就差闹出外交纠纷，结果人家大反派在那里造了个生化武器工厂反倒没人管了？我看大家谦让得很，一点没争议啊……
这个谢幕方式就很……铁汉柔情？
90//鲜活且内秀。克雷格版邦德的图像艺术在终章得到了最生动精彩的设计：从环球标志化为枪管的圆点、面具叠影在玻璃上释放惊悚、又转到马泰拉的温馨和不待喘息的突袭还有后来种种，都显出美妙；迷人的调色又让自然场景透出天然的冷寂空旷、人工光影色彩似乎有香甜味道——全片都是悦目无比的影像造型。
这是没故事可写了吗？美术和摄影还不错，但也掩盖不了故事的无聊，一切都太刻意，甚至都有点做作了，每一步都像是为了告别丹尼尔而作的剧情。大家去看007就是想在两小时中代入这种绝对主角身份 从枪雨弹林中走出 身上的西装和发型还一丝不乱的绝对有型 是要看他在与邪恶敌人周旋中还与众美人调情但片叶不沾身的潇洒 谁要看这种婆婆妈妈的琼瑶戏….
007版勇闯夺命岛，反派一定要多看点儿加缪，他们的誓言估计自己都不信。
克雷格五部邦德伊始就致力于对传统邦德的破坏与消解，这部的结局更是到达了全新高度，《女王密使》在新时代的变体翻版，但也因如此，那些冗长的铺陈显得太过指向性也太缺乏乐趣。
而当一个角色要离开观众时，怎么处理可以凸显这个人物的伟大？
克雷格平淡无味的告别仪式，没想到被扮猪吃老虎的古巴女特工抢了风头。这个角色大概是临时救场的菲编贡献的，相当Killing Eve。
反派太孤独了，碰到邦德就和他叨逼叨，哎你看咱俩共同点可真多，恨的人爱的人干的事都一致，异父异母的亲兄弟呀！沙币，倒是给邦德一梭子呀！那么多追随者，咋还跟敌人那里找认同呢？毛病。
克雷格版邦德里有那么多各具亮点、个性鲜明的女角色，但这部的帕洛玛绝对能给人最深印象。老实说无论造型（刘海遮眼，病假气质）、能力设定（飞踢反派、旋转射击、跳楼飙车、力速双A，几乎是登场女角色里最能打的），还是性格（与其他女特工不同，天然、坦诚、有些神经质但很靠谱），人设放这版007里其实挺违和，更像从什么动漫里蹦跶来的超级英雄。查了下才惊觉阿玛斯还演过《银翼杀手2049》的Joi！真就两次相遇不约而同喜欢上了。抛开这仅占全片十来分钟的惊鸿一瞥，剩下可说不多，挚友离别、宿敌团灭、称号易主，空虚为邦德指明末路。决战前他为女儿披上自己针织毛衣的一幕，颇有种传承暗示。或许未来某版会以女邦德为主角并大放异彩呢？当然，有烟无伤规律最好在这个系列依旧生效，导弹轰顶、纳米机器人入侵都不算个事。隧道转身一击，依旧无敌。
