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.
有私货啊，鼓吹卖淫合法化？什么叫没有妓女社会就会暴乱，现在印度不一样强奸女性，这和卖淫有什么逻辑关联吗？可以说甘古拜个人有格局，但这片整体基调不OK，卖淫合法化就是不！行！
碰巧跟1998年的那部《红颜祸水》连着看了，一个是威尼斯的传奇政妓，一个是成为了黑手党女王的孟买性工作者。抛开所有人物光环和圆满的结局，至少认同女人最大的资本是教养，以及任何时候抬头挺胸的义理。即使现实的结局是，你爱的人并不会为在危难时刻为你站起身来。
最后居然还呼吁妓女卖淫合法化！
比上一部好一点，但坐在我旁边的男同事说，履带车开到山顶太不真实了，回来想想还真的是
影片总体上来说完成度不错，比较令人诟病的就是因为真实可能过于隐晦或者难以示人，导致的有部分剧情的推动逻辑上难以自洽，像是女主和黑帮老大的义兄的几次结缘，就很说不清楚……
比1好，虽然徐克给残酷的战争披上了一层浪漫主义的面纱，但作品整体风格更统一，动作场面更有层次感，文戏也撕掉了一层保鲜膜，显得真实细腻了很多。
大片既视感，挺有冲击里的，对于国产片，必须支持下，实际4分半，加半分支持！
画面音乐舞蹈都很美，特别是画面太美了！！！还挺惊讶居然是真人真事改编的。
7.之所以女主能有成绩，是因为有三次关键时刻都是黑社会老大帮她出头，那老大帮她的理由是什么？
片头一堆感谢谁和纪念谁，之后的剧情走向就不太符合逻辑：一个妓女头子跟一个小妓女头次见面就讲述自己的心路历程？这编剧写中学作文呢吧。12分钟弃剧。
伍千里带着伍万里融雪下飘是第一个意外
故事是好故事，但细节只能证明印度导演还不够缜密。因此拍出来的成果就会让人觉得差了点什么。
他们代表军人的荣耀，用血肉祭奠自己的尊严。
不过还是有几个巧思的，比如燃烧的吴京照亮了易烊千玺，象征着易烊千玺的成长与新生
最近社團狂推，就跟風看了下熱鬧。印度花柳街版甘地，為性工作者伸張權益與正義，洋洋灑灑的印度主旋律之作，寶萊塢電影工業早已非常成熟，產出這樣的作品並不難，但是難的是劇本要在伸張性工作者權益之餘，同時不觸犯到女權主義，至少在這部分處理的挺圓融，女主被逼良為娼的故事，最後成為整條花柳街最被敬重的頭號人物，值得一看。
厄，四星给我们的前辈，一代人打了三代人的仗，有了现在的和平
类型: 剧情 / 历史 / 战争
但凡看过脸上写着“I am not for sale”的尼泊尔女孩，为了救回被拐卖女儿主动被拐卖的孟加拉母亲，都不会相信一个老鸨的良心吧。
大片既视感，挺有冲击里的，对于国产片，必须支持下，实际4分半，加半分支持！
但甘古听到父亲去世，母亲漠然之后的那段鼓手舞，看的好难过。
