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.
如果经历过这样的生活，如何活着都不会畏惧。如果是这样的性格，如何的生活都不会被打倒。根本不是笨小孩啦，是很聪明的努力小孩！（四字弟弟演技越来越棒了）
是最近难得看到的还不错的国产影片了，四字真的是天赋又努力啊。至于故事，如题，奇迹。少有。但也不是没有。
这个控制力太可怕了，看似永恒静止的山丘下面隐藏的是张开血盆大口的狗。
最好的還是四字弟弟，他演什麼，都能讓人信服且疼惜。但他一人顯然撐不起整套戲，沒了導演之前擅長的群像，其他人最後都成了好人好事背景板。而弟弟的完美人設也讓故事套了濾鏡一般不真實，只有客觀困境，沒有主觀困境。整個劇情也一舊舊，前後沒有連貫性，這麼樣板的故事，其實可以參考下港產片的。阿郎的故事不香嗎？
不被看好的人缺渐渐逆袭，这个式样的故事能量永远不生厌；但因为所有角色的情绪流露和行为都不讲求各种隐藏，而是尽可能地大鸣大放（齐溪、黄尧都被带疯了= =），所以感觉更像一个老旧的日式励志番（抑或“热血暴漫”），会稍稍有些不适应。尤其考虑到文牧野和一干演员的选择，能够行进到更为严肃、“正常”的方向自然会是更好更令人期待的结果，实现的也可以远远不止于此。当然，这不妨碍它本身是个不错的故事，选择深圳也同样贴合；有一些好的材料，但没能做到更恰到好处的加工。
演的巨好！巨好！！！！就是完全景浩，粉丝看也不想到他本人的那种！！！纯粹是另一个人！小人物的奇迹！就是中国奇迹！
流畅 没有拖剧情没有过多的废话 要表达的意思也到位了。
看得太难过了，就没有领个低保啥的吗……当然也钦佩主角的毅力，也明白不得已而为之的感受
就是心疼到不忍心减星的那种，一个小孩拼成这样照顾家人书都念不上～电影的节奏还不错，全员好人也不讨厌，只是现实中，人们总能一起熬过困苦的日子却不能知足地共享富裕。时势，英雄，拼搏千千万，电影涂抹了一个最理想的缩影
前面，创业太不容易了，好多意外：政策的变动、小偷，一分钱难倒英雄汉。最后的六年后有点太梦幻了。
我有點傷心。可能因為看到一半的時候開始關注前排大哥睡著打呼嚕，和他旁邊另一位大哥小心翼翼想要觸碰卻又收回的手。
虽然知道一定是好的结局，但个中过程还是一度不忍看。生活真的挺难的。四字弟弟一定要珍惜羽毛呀～
就一碗老配方鸡汤，过年喝喝也不错，也没被强灌的感觉，所以ok的。
小人物的故事，也没有什么惊天动地的情节，但就是很好哭，很治愈，演员们演的都很好
现实题材，写实群像；
文牧野的第二部电影依然聚焦现实生活题材和底层小人物的故事，继药神后又迎来了组装小分队，展示各色“老弱病残”的众生相和奋斗史，一路跌跌撞撞、扶摇直上，最终涅槃逆袭的神奇奋斗故事，完美的点题电影名。整个时代背景也重现了改革开放后的深圳，正是一代代的打工人和外地移民推动了这座城市的飞速发展，让我们见证当今世界闻名的深圳之都，这部影片定能激励、帮助、推动更多在路上打拼的人，意义非凡，阳光普照。
婚礼和问定金很棒，情绪氛围到位。演技精进。
当然，这种前提是，电影试图告诉我们的道理，即一切都是合理的，一切都是都可以解决的。
长大之前的妹妹好可爱啊，值得哥哥如此，“至于”！有点过于美化创业的艰辛了，但是传递的价值观如镜头的色调一般向上——哪怕是为了养活工厂而做的那份蜘蛛人工作，高空中发梢的水珠和后来摔落的水桶，都是可以做屏保的画面…那些宣传/评价说像青春版《中国合伙人》的，肯定没看片😆补春节档，没想到正月快过完了票价依旧没降下去，以为是包场结果放片头的时候又进来一对…
一篇合格的命题作文，抑扬顿挫，规矩工整，但故事本身缺少真正的灵魂和亮点。胜在演技吧，易烊千玺还是完成的非常出色的。小女孩也乖巧可爱。田雨没太多发挥空间，按照他的演技，应该再多些亮点的。
