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.
影片是根据铁道游击队的原型八路军一一五师鲁南铁道大队的抗日事迹改编的。
范伟用鬼子手雷炸死小么哥是本年度最帅场景没有之一
实际上完全不了解他所讲述的对象，程式化的“劲爆场面”下十分空洞苍白。代表性的标志就是那句“弟兄们”。
整体环境和氛围很到位，质感很棒。起初以为会有谍战，结果居然什么也没有什么，直接扒火车。但扒火车居然能扒的这么无聊，都是些陈芝麻烂谷子的故事，不弄出点新意来看一半就要打瞌睡了。荒野大镖客扒火车都比这个好看啊。人物也毫无代入感，还有那莫名其妙的动机。我以为还能再来一部智取威虎山，没想到来了个铁道飞虎。
很像公司组织的真人换装CS党课团建活动。好过时啊人家都在玩剧本杀密室逃脱了，你还在玩CS？
故事非常垮，前面努力铺垫半天，越到后面越起不来，要人物也是没人物，连男主张涵予都支愣不起来，最后点烟凹造型之流最让人头大，范伟靠个人特色抢了不少戏，但这个人物转变没说服力，突然觉醒扔手榴弹也太突兀了。
我特么以为是东北铁路，原来只是山东往连云港开，张涵予和范伟演技实在是影帝级，但故事性太差，剧情平铺直叙，一点也没反转和冲突，太主旋律了
老范可圈可点 片尾刘德华唱《铁道游击队》 瞬间感动了
可以7，质量还可以，高潮到结尾很到位，智斗不掉线，但前期节奏有点拖沓。范伟老师夸累了。
西边的太阳快要落山了，太阳马上就要从东方升起，细细一品，嗯，这个片子绝对高级。
怎么让故事有意境，那就用下不完的大雪，放不完的音乐，没有情绪就制造情绪；
大概是声画升级版的“手撕鬼子”吧，导演不行。
总的来说作为诚意国产片值得4星，比同背景的悬崖之上差了不少，1.42亿的票房也多少说明问题不少。做为国产片的硬件进步很明显，硬式视觉风格很赞同，值得鼓励下加到5星⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
以前看vice拍老年人写真还觉得这帮创逼就是leech别人，这片讲真真吓到我了
嗯…快进看完，确实有点好笑，尤其是那个小可怜冲出去被一枪爆头…女主确实特别，推荐她的解药。那个金发女很美啊。还有黑人男，也不像现在片子里的男优那么油腻。
既不足够色情，也不足够血腥。虽然说涉及老年人性欲这种较为新颖的话题，但终归还是B级片套路，和《致命弯道》《隔山有眼》等同题材的作品相比，反派战力过低，便当过程泛善可陈，味道过于寡淡了。PS：一开始还以为“清纯女”会活到最后，没想到收场如此潦草。
范伟不错，故事不行，动作夸张，反派设计太弱智……
把恐怖和色情揉在一起拍还是蛮聪明的，但算不上创新。看完觉得有点不舒服，甚至有些悲哀。（可见还是不够吓人，我坐在那甚至开始思考老了该咋办……）
故事本身并不出挑，中规中矩，日本BOSS的形象塑造上稍微有点过于故弄玄虚。范伟的表演无懈可击，是加分项。| CG场景还是弱了点，尽管雪天，火车头蒸汽，黑夜已经算是给足了条件，但火车撞装甲车还是看得出假的感觉。还要努力啊。
当老王收起点头哈腰，正色呵斥的时候，就是铁道英雄的高光时刻
