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.
很久没有遇到这样质量中上的轻松喜剧了～ 总是在不经意间逗人发笑，很喜欢女主在剧中的性格，一本正经的神经兮兮太可爱了
挺失望的。冗长、无趣、 拖沓，观影过程频频看表，偶有亮点也拯救不了整体的平庸乏味，难以想象这是丹尼尔的007谢幕之作。
男主边装番茄酱边爆发的那幕真的很戳心，真的，勇敢点，少来点妄自菲薄，你值得的！
男女主的关系改变来得太快了 铺垫多一点就更好了 墨西哥人的乐观真的很让人羡慕 打发时间可以看一下
007 系列要想办法重生了……不然再这么拍下去，我就把 007 和碟中谍彻底搞混了……（不要招惹高科技单身狗，不然他有一万种办法让情侣们生不如死）
最后不落俗套地 没有把女明星和泊车员写在一起，而是各自圆满地 开始另一段新生活。比较有趣的是，前妻因为发现前夫在和电影明星约会时，产生了争抢欲，而被告知只是一场戏的时候，反而消退了，一切又归为平静。所谓的爱，是不是更多还是来自于刺激和新鲜感，如果不是无可奈何，大家都不太想回归平淡。
shitty film for a shitty day
点映，私心加分。丹尼尔版本007系列的传奇落幕，他所诠释的邦德毫无疑问的历史最佳！其角色本身魅力十足无需多言，同时也塑造出普通人挣扎、羸弱的一面，而不是一味脸谱化的特工机器，冷血杀手，有血有肉，十分立体。非常有幸见证了这个时代最好的007系列电影，感慨万分，也继续期待新一代詹姆斯·邦德的全新故事。
男主家庭，估计在当代慢慢也很少有这种大家族的氛围了，就当怀念；结局男主女主没有在一起，这一点不错，而是一种朋友的视角慢慢相识
不落俗套的happy ending挺好的。
就是那种俗得要死，但很好看的替身电影。剧情老套的不行，看了开头就能猜到结局，白日梦一样的展开，但是女主太美了，配角也都很可爱，轻松无虐小甜文既视感，打发时间很好。
还不错的俗套，温情，有的台词写的还是蛮好笑的
编剧，把丹7的收官之作写成这样足以以死谢罪。
有血有肉的特工片，依旧是我最喜欢的类型片。
还行 可是古巴的007女郎比女主好看啊（认真
007第25作，丹尼·克雷格最终作，精彩程度虽略显平平，但感情线或许是最丰满的一次，既有对伊娃·格林的致敬和怀念，也有与古巴女神的枪林共舞，更有蕾雅·赛杜的梅开二度。最柔软的，是邦德终于也有了女儿，于是慷慨赴死也成了合乎情理的归宿。丹尼·克雷格的十六年邦德岁月，其实是我们这代人唯一共同成长的一代院线007，毕竟布鲁斯南再帅，苏菲玛索杨紫琼丹尼斯理查德斯们再美，都是从录像厅到ftp到dvd的回忆，尽管从今夜起，这一切都将随风飘散。
又臭又长，让人昏昏欲睡。庆幸的是终于可以告别克雷格这个史上最丑的007了。
翻拍的一部爱情类的喜剧片，掺入了墨西哥籍与美国白人，普通人与好莱坞小明星，墨西哥人热情与及家族观念与明星的各自为主自私孤独，种族+阶级+团体个人的对比属性，使影片更加丰满，非常适合放松看的片。片讲述了男主泊车男在一家餐厅做着平凡的替富人泊车的工作，一天夜里骑着自行车遭遇小交通事故：女主小明星和出轨的情人渣男做完运动后楼下叫车时发生争执，并被狗仔队们拍摄下三人同框的照片，引发了舆论争议。渣男为了安抚他老婆，派律师说服男主女主假扮男女朋友，以为打消他老婆对于他出轨女主的怀疑。后来俩人演戏中，产生了某种感情，开始还以为最终会以假戏真做的俗套结局收尾，实际上经历了一波三折，各自摆脱了自己的心结，最终发展成好友，其中：男主离开前期居然爱上了自行车店的女孩，女主和渣男老婆一同摆脱了渣男并把渣男送进监狱。
【20220703】和老婆一起看的，还不错，是翻拍法国电影，而且国内也翻拍过，郑凯演的《临时演员》豆瓣垃圾分数。没看过原版，美国这版充满了家庭的温馨，加上墨西哥人对种族歧视的自嘲，笑点满满。
意外很不错啊 里面的女性都好棒 前妻也很不错啊 I want to be some who feels like he deserves the best. 关于外婆的那一段致辞 哭裂了 发展中国家且行且珍惜 都好苦 Vincent不知道是不是表演过度有点零里零气的不太像直男
