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.
眼睛只有两只，看点该看的，不该你看的别看。
收藏本片到 好看并不完美 文件夹。
女主确实可以，影片满足人们猎奇心理，有一定诱惑力，就是结尾有些画蛇添足
影片拍得还是挺精致，故事讲述得还算流畅，演员的表演尚佳。不过影片最大的问题，在于导演并未想清楚电影主题的方向，即导演究竟想表达什么。她在各个方向上犹豫着，不想做取舍，但表达起来又相互矛盾。其实，放弃一些时髦的东西，就拍一部商业片，恐怕会拍得更好看一些。
现代预言。结尾反转，像是用“不合理”解释“不合理”，前半部分还是很好看的。
看到一半，有种为蠢得没有药救的女主行径看不下去了。偷窥，偷窥也算了，居然去干涉他人生活，干涉也算了，因为她的干涉后导致对方家庭出了问题，居然还主动去接触被他对象。这种作死实在令人看不下去了。唯一看点就是女主咪咪很大，加一星。
剧情缓慢推进，最后结局反转，到底是谁偷窥了谁？偷窥似乎是每个人都特有的欲望，其实窗户加上窗帘就都解决了！没想到身材娇小的西德尼斯威尼的身材那么火，第80分钟的情欲戏养眼！建议看完整版，阉割版太没劲！最后镜头望远镜给到观众，很有思考性！
很容易明白这个古典故事在当代的意义和指涉，但超现实元素的重要性又在一直消解这种感觉。
当你在凝视深渊的时候，深渊也在凝视着你。如果没有最后的反转，此片堪称完美。女主不值得可怜，从好奇偷窥的行为开始，引出了心底对性的渴望，假借正义的外衣，自以为间接害死女二，其实最终目的还是想和摄影师名正言顺的发生关系。虽然后边口口声声声嘶力竭的在全场高喊是摄影师勾引的她，但是之前自身的性欲望明确的传递出不和摄影师来一炮此生意难平。
算后窗的现代进阶版吧，偷窥与反偷窥。当你在窥探他人生活满足自己病态好奇心的时候，自己也成了被偷窥的对象。
还不错，剧情还是挺吸引人的，尤其是对于女主看到帅哥以后，内心春心荡漾的描写，从行为举止描写的非常的详细，然后还有女主内心那种，道德的羁绊和春心荡漾的矛盾，总之一句话，女主的奶子真棒
你以为是在偷窥对方，其实是对方让你以为的。
服道化和配乐以及摄影都很美，影片氛围感强烈，是我喜欢的类型。疯女人的舞会，狗男人的狂欢。
所谓人性本恶。故事虽有些类似楚门的世界，也还算精彩。女主一张无辜脸，却可以做最离经叛道的事。
故事还算吸引人，但为了强推剧情而产生的bug有点多，反转也基本能想到，多一颗星给Pippa的身材。
结局有点嗯…………不过前面很吸引人，女主身材太绝了。
所以给别人饮料里下毒的人也会喝陌生人送的酒？
情色悬疑片，剧终身材真好，画面香艳，情色拍摄技巧成熟，有让人掏出来跌跌欲试的感觉
题材不错，剧情上中规中矩，看了前面很容易猜到结局。
符合一贯的法式电影色彩审美，雨果说“破晓时分，田野发白的时候，我将去看你”
