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.
看着大雄和哆啦A梦在屋里大口吃蜜瓜、放肆地哭笑，影院里的孩子也跟着他俩大笑起来。
很煎熬的观影体验。纯纯子供向动画片，看的我尴尬症都犯了，剧情、服装剽窃《星球大战》，但是动画设计还是比较赛博朋克，不过照今年的《熊出没》大电影还是差点，还有就是歌曲挺好听，其他的我实在夸不来了
我感觉本来就挺好的。说政治童话不行，《格列佛游记》也本来就是政治童话。说镜头不行，开头3d的特摄确实一直不是哆啦系列的长处，但大小人在一起的时候，选择的视角都是2d作画中挺难画的视角……看了《神奇动物》后，我反而觉得这政治戏写得比那好多了……但前半段确实太日常枯燥了，铺垫过多，显得节奏慢了。但后半段静香和小夫的塑造都挺不错。（彩蛋还有艾伦呢）
柯南剧场版已经烂透了，哆啦A梦炒了好几年冷饭了，神奇宝贝也不再讲基因工程了，唯有蜡笔小新还能打4－5星
有些子供向啦，人物普遍没什么印象，包括主角（没有说子供向不好的意思），印象比较深的角色居然是敌方那个将军一样的角色，还知道保护自己的部下，那个反派总统没品的要死，毫无优点。最后的战斗场面居然是他们手撕，我真的会笑，还有那个把敌方小坦克当枪使，笑死了。
剧情有加长
纯儿童向，在电影院看的，一帮小孩子吵吵闹闹的。
去看之前已经做好了心理准备要么打一星不然就是五星好评了，没想到这次的剧本好太多了！小夫形象丰满了，静香也参与战斗了。还有就是巨人粉狂喜。敌方输在了他们没有立体装置哈哈哈😂
剧情挺无聊的，但是最后还是有点意思，尤其在当下看。
哆啦A梦致敬进击的巨人。开玩笑啦，下面讲认真的：如果我们放弃相信公平、正义、自由、良善可以让世界变得更好，那我们终将失去所有。
节奏好奇怪哦 但终于听到了universe！（我爱👨🏻👨🏻👨🏻👨🏻
中规中矩吧，我需要完全新作啊。开头错过了十分钟难过。
跟老胡看的第二部蓝胖子。只能说，真的一年不如一年了。
蓝胖子分镜头转场一直还可以
童话版的1984！尽可能还原了原作，话痨的小狗，海中升起的巨人，睁眼的海报…以童心推翻独裁！如果有人正注视着你，不妨用迷你坦克点燃独裁者的野望！
被独裁者支配的外星人在自由党总统的演讲下觉醒，与总统找来的巨大地球人外援共同实现自由同盟。
还有一些内容 被编辑掉了
对哆啦A梦开始提不起兴趣了，处理了半小时工作，睡了半小时，全程按摩……
不太行啊。 可能因为自己不是小孩子了，也可能是因为早就知道剧情了，完全没有看这个剧场版的漫画的感觉了。只是觉得吵闹。
大雄遇到了幼儿版神秘博士，跟他一起打倒老大哥，期间顺便看了一下进击的巨人和金刚
