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.
我从小就很喜欢看蜡笔小新，因为我觉得小新是这个世界上难得的纯真快乐的小孩吧，他能永远保持着自我，能享受着此时此刻属于孩子的快乐。他虽然不是所谓的“精英”，却也能从一个孩子的角度看透世俗，看透很多连大人都看不懂的道理。小新从来就不是愚笨的，他是这世上最最聪明的小孩。
翻看近期热门电影榜没想到有这么一个高分幼稚园片……最后对于片名“谜团”的响应真好啊 青春是自卑感
反精英教育和反智能化的青春片。好温暖。阿呆居然恋爱了呜呜怎么会！
太好看了吧！！！
这是给孩子看的吧，里面那么多屎尿屁，说是给成年人看的吧，又没有多少营养和情怀。老大、吉永老师都没了，完全可以不用小新的ip嘛！
从幼稚园口中讲青春的忧虑，青春就是…为了当下努力奔跑！
蜡笔小新哪里幼稚了，根本现实得令人难以置信地心碎……不过最后也真是给出了好好的答案，让人再一次看到了希望。
青春到底是什么？“青春是……鉄仮面！青春是……恋！青春是……Kira Kira☆；青春是……Complex！青春是……后悔！青春是……人情世故！青春是……孤独；青春是……Wee Wee 好耶好耶！青春是……曾经拥有，青春是此时此刻；青春是……（牙牙学语）；青春是……青春是！青春是…… FIRE!!!”
一如既往的热血，但奇怪感动程度与笑点已经不及十年前的几部剧场版了。
雄狮少年之后又被感动到了，春日部防卫队最新燃作——你的菊花，值得被爆！
如果说之前的蜡笔小新只不过是一个喜剧系列，那么这部对于现实的关注明显比以往要多太多了，毕竟人生价值从来都不是单一的东西。
这不比高考作文好吗？！青春是什么 是曾经拥有过 青春是？全力冲刺！青春是？就是当下！
对动画版不是特别感冒 觉得低幼了 但电影版能这么好看我是万万没想到
“总有一天，大家会分道扬镳，然后还会交到更多更多的新朋友，你懂不懂啊？——我完全听不懂啦，我只知道要把握当下！ ”蜡笔小新涉及到的价值观总会让人惊喜。
一个天才阿宅爱上一个妹子不敢表白为了能让她重新回到自己班级发明让人变得聪明的机器的故事...我真是不理解你们这些天才
青春没有阶级啊呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜～

也许我们大部分人都错过了真正的青春吧……柯南的长不大让人着急，如果小新长大了，那大部分人都会心酸吧？
有被热血到。青春是什么，不同的人会有不同的定义不同的答案，青春是可以无数次失败后从头再来。小新是用屁股思考的小孩子，但那句：既然喜欢，就不能放弃啊！真的很在理。精英又是什么呢？什么样的人才能被称为精英？一定要成为精英吗？成为精英就是幸福吗？还是选择自己想走的那条路，选择自己的热爱才会幸福吧
就算是简单的热血故事，也能演绎出不一样的感动。明明只是一群五岁的小孩，但是青春的含义又是那么透彻。青春是什么，哪有不犯错的青春呢。无意义本身也是一种意义啊。
