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.
为0分，那么50分是什么样的？60分、70分、80分是什么样？
真的挺不错的。有笑有料，而且真的非常适合迷影观看。
无视政治正确的法式喜剧，搞笑方式挺传统的，就很好笑
-假设“事情完美解决”作为100分,“最坏结果”作
看似粗糙实则用心的影片很讨喜，拍戏与现实的巧妙融合，一切都是如此的自然恰当，喜剧效果出色，失忆后戏中身份与真实搞混，恶搞复仇者联盟，最后还有点睛之笔，途中遇到的女友也是失忆前就有的
偶尔来演演剧情片还是很稳的。故事很顺畅，很稳的节奏，好看的电影。
法国人的电影要么哲学诗意，要么荒诞黄暴lol
哈哈哈哈好久没看到这么沙雕好笑的喜剧片了。恶搞的太细节，甚至连斯坦李都没放过
癫狂又不失缜密的戏剧架构！缜密又极尽癫狂的法国情感！
创意不错欢乐多多真是恶搞无限好！法国的喜剧也太玩儿了，把“漫威”，扁蝠侠，火烧巴黎圣母院，汤姆克鲁斯等都恶搞了遍，倒挂树上接吻下落，裤子质量太差！心疼那只被电的鸭子！
美式励志故事，拍的还是很用心的，众星云集，较之国内的体育电影，不舍得或没能力让圈子里的球员们露脸就已经败了一半了，比如马布里那部电影，挺好的题材糟蹋了。亚当桑得勒真的很努力的在尝试多种角色，我感觉他有可能是下一位金凯瑞，加油！
7分。哈哈哈，难得看到部让我从头笑到尾的片子啊~~各种恶搞和致敬，到最后法国乡村没钱版本的妇联对灭霸，真的是有点破防了~~~最后的所谓反转没啥必要，看这样子这记忆症还是长期问题了么？整体比这个团队上一部《城市猎人》要好的多~~~
哈哈哈哈哈，近几年超英电影多数走下坡路，与其看华丽特效演绎烂俗故事，不如看恶搞超英欢乐一下午。让圣母院再度燃烧！哈哈哈
笑翻在沙发上，从DC到漫威，一个都逃不掉。很吃女主的颜。
拉肖还是挺有喜剧天赋，这部梗也是很多，熟悉的颜色梗，以及各种超英梗，娱乐看看，挺有意思。
演员车祸失忆，以为自己是超级英雄。老爸是即将退休的警察，有个劫匪要杀他。两条线合流，父子和解。反转了一个爱情，路上偶遇的其实是女友。好多超英电影梗。
6666 菲利普的电影都好搞笑，法国烂仔帮？？？
超级好笑超级解压，没什么企图心就是想逗你一乐，而且也确实很招乐的一个片子。法国人拍这种沙雕片真的是一绝，超级傻逼但其中的解构意识又是真的很强大，漫威/DC律师函正在路上。以及，好佩服（或者说羡慕）法国人的自黑/互黑精神啊，刚修好的巴黎圣母院又炸了，换到咱们这你想想看吧，能被骂到终身退网。唉咱们实在是太严肃太紧绷了，以至于幽默很多时候都成了一种禁忌。三星半推荐。
这年头儿想看个纯直男向的蠢蛋恶搞喜剧，也只能指望法国佬了
恶搞超级英雄题材，badman对标batman算是谐音梗了，失忆，戏中戏，屌丝变英雄，一切都是照着既定公式来，不过也有几段好笑的梗，动不动就脱裤子也是恶趣味。
