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.
片子比较常规，但电影结尾那个钩子勾眼睛的镜头挺有创意的（至少我是第一次见），另外电影的字幕也挺惊喜
素食主义=食草动物，肉食主义=食肉动物，如果能够多一点隐喻就好了
一镜到底的选择大胆，并且考验人对于美食题材预期之外的耐心；Stephen Graham作为领衔，率领着一干演员完成了很漂亮的组合战。食评生态的眉角鸡毛，顾客的挑剔与无尽要求，员工之间的对峙与冲突，个人生活中的岌岌可危…餐厅成为大熔炉，将所有的压力与问题全数乱炖，快要喷涌。有着很生动的观看体验，但还是觉得情节可以有整理和一些适当的断点能更好。
宝贝听到我有点不适了都哈哈哈哈，我快进看完了。
原来一桌难求的高级餐馆的后厨是这么紧张又难熬。有点晃动的长镜头带来极强的沉浸画面感，时而模糊着光晕的画面也还原了餐馆昏暗灯光下的视觉效果，就是一个半小时看下来有点眼晕。😂
tough time有人陪伴一起度过让人觉得珍贵，其中的友情爱情亲情都好；影片的色调依然喜欢；“you happened”的感动点；联系第一部，也将疫情下的话题引出；社交媒体的画面拉近与观众的距离，仿佛在一起刷动态
看了，但是好像没看
恋爱戏甜蜜自然，哭戏真情实感，结局分离引人动容。情节逻辑自洽，基本上最初突兀的地方很快就有了解释，不会让人莫名其妙。
一开始有点劝退。但是后面再看觉得还好，导演这种视频沟通的拍摄手法还挺新鲜的。
以前总觉得颜值高剧才会好看，是我偏见了，演技绝真的可以忽略颜值，并且最后让我觉得他俩颜值很可！
挺好看的，有冲突所以对故事的推进充满了期待，but excuse me，一个原五星餐厅的后厨和吧台堪称一片混乱（无比热闹），简直无法想象，据说是一镜到底，那真是厉害啦！
黑的漂亮。当素食主义、环保主义、动保人士、女权主义等等各种主义（当然要加上极端二字，并不是所有的这些人都是坏的）成为新时代的邪教……
Graham都这样了还拿不到自家后院的奖，给Adeel Akhtar我也算了，非要颁给冲到台上打人的人，看来崇美情节不止长期腐蚀着英国政界，真TM病得不清。Anyway，还剩点做服务员的梦，厨师就算了。
2021最爱的教育片，一开始还在担心像🇰🇷 剧一样，电影版就是剧版合集，果然🇵🇭 还是诚意满满，电影版完全是接着剧来的，讲述了小卷毛和baby在同居后遇到的各种事情。作为一个小成本电影，一栋房子，六七个演员，能有这种质量真的是太不容易。导演说过不会给大家看不喜欢看的，事实上也做到了，接近两个小时，我的情绪全程都随着他们的一切在波动。不止可以看到甜甜的爱情故事，常见的矛盾冲突，还可以明显感受到他们在爱情中不断学习，慢慢的更加理解对方，把对方放在自己的未来规划中，这真的是所有情侣都应该学习的。还有我得点名表扬小卷毛的演技，收放自如，赏心悦目。
不如电视剧，有点无聊，当作是两个可爱男孩爱情故事的延续吧。

爱了，爱了，没看的都给我看上！
很可爱的……两个宝贝怎么一直在哭……不要哭了，第二季一定要在一起！！！

这么有趣的题材理应配上更欢乐明快的镜头节奏。
