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.

也没有什么好说的 非要让面目模糊的大众作为在主角的真挚呼唤下幡然醒悟吗
Ed你的涂鸦 终将成为某人的宝藏 不要擦掉 不要离去 将那份念想留下来
暂时没看过前几部，还是很喜欢这一部的漫画idea的，最后小新的神奇蜡笔用完了，在用推车画🐷勇士的时候嘴里念叨的那份执念，执念里带着小新版BGM是感动我的
我还是比较喜欢以前那个以伙伴、勇气、家族为主题的故事
“动手吧！动手吧！大家一起动手吧！来吧 来吧！动手吧！”大家需要齐心协力 而不是内斗。片中展现了人性的丑恶
娜娜子姐姐
家长不能一昧地阻止小孩涂鸦，需要教育且告诉小孩怎样适当涂鸦，涂鸦可以让小孩创造想象力
能够预知的笑点和泪点，几十部剧场版看下来今年虽然也没跳脱这几年低幼化、情节随意、人物设定平面的桎梏，但是好在也抓着一些珍贵的老传统，玩烂了的友情、亲情在『伪娜娜子』融化时还是能被戳到...（知道再也回不去大人帝国和战国大合战那几年的巅峰，但是这个内核能延续就是从小到大的小新迷的小幸福了☀️
我就是喜欢看小新，新酱每一年都在这个令人失望的是世界给我一丝光。
每个人的内核都是肥嘟嘟左卫门 表面善内里不定 但是再往里深入 还是善良的 我们都会时常表现出恶的一面 但是只要稍加引导多点思考 我们都是内心善良的人 不论是孩子还是大人 绝不让危机和罪恶磨灭我们人性的光辉 人类的伟大就是勇气的伟大 人类的赞歌就是勇气的赞歌 新诺思楷你最棒 我们永远爱你
“已经有谁消失了吗？”
边看边担心会不会有女拳出击，总之我还是很喜欢的，竟然还愚蠢泪目了😢
第1400部送给しんちゃん,没想到平成之后还能看到这种质量的剧场版，真的是除了大人帝国以外最好哭的一部了。
绘画娜娜子！！
会把奇怪的事情变得感动的魔力。2022年仍然是蜡笔小新的死忠粉
热评说可以和大人帝国媲美有点言过了，不过确实是近几年比较好的一部了，最后这段不比博人传燃？
最喜欢的还是新要素——跨次元的狂欢。关键道具蜡笔以及照相机真神奇，二次元变成三次元，三次元变二次元，最后一如既往的欢乐大结局，真是蜡笔小新近年来少有的优质剧场版。九分!
好像比上一部好看，猜中套路，迷惑中带有鬼畜和感动，新酱依然是不流泪的勇者，美伢戏份太少，还是喜欢看他们家庭琐事些
我看哭了，蜡笔小新真的蜡笔拯救世界。片尾曲如果看中文歌词那是画龙点睛的歌曲啊。非常非常厉害的动画片。
