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.
当Bowie的歌在Troye主演的电影里响起，我激动的快要哭出来。（Estha长得好像杰克吉伦哈尔，very hot）
还可以，但是真的受不了老外那些卫生习惯🤷♀️
完全可以相信戳爷的颜，但跟印度小哥毫无cp感，且两个人都挺0的…在床上抽烟吃零食然后还弄得满床都是我真的非常不🆗
唯美的画面，只会想，What is love？
戳爺神顏 音樂好聽 色調初夏 故事是成長的煩惱
我骑着双人单车，后座有时也会空落落的。你，我的好友。会选择与我同行么？
戳演技真的还不错诶 差不多集齐了一个常规青春片的所有要素 还可以吧

【C+】朴实无华的糖水片，听听歌看看戳爷的颜就好。
你戳真的不是个好演员，这个角色也设计的让人烦厌和平面，几乎可以想象到如果是安德鲁海格来导这部，绝对是比这个更稀释，但是情感饱满好几倍，而不会是这样浅显的体验
经历过破碎痛苦，再说出，“我已经不在乎结果了”
三个月，是等艾滋病检测结果的时间，也是一个少年成长的时间。夏天，海边，少男少女，友情亲情爱情，美式小清新，节奏欢快。少年经历了等结果的忐忑不安、和同病相怜之人的互相鼓励、互生情愫、被母亲嫌弃地赶出家门、和好朋友重归于好，最后更加成熟，走向美好未来。
1:04:22 Down by the Water一定是Troye推荐的！ 1:00:55 1:42:26 Trouble 1:31:40 1:40:10 Wait
很无聊也很刻板，丰富的色彩与其说有起到缓和气氛和营造青春洋溢的感觉，还不如说电影本身就不存在关于“等待结果”的紧张气氛，而青春的设定也是虚假得很，一个背着书包却只用去小卖部打工的学生。“甜蜜的爱情”也没有很甜，剧情也是无聊和刻板到极致了。只能说电影的色彩确实很养眼，也是唯一能够感觉到“青春活力”和“爱情甜蜜”的地方了吧。
美国txl不会说相声相当于中国txl不去健身。无聊透顶的Sterotype集大成电影。
这种甜腻的美学风格搭配海边热风和清新的两人自行车，明亮的夏天永远装着小男生的心事。把戳爷拍的特别美特别艳，青春小品
为啥人家的小鲜肉长得真帅演技还好还多才多艺，关键是还敢承认自己是gay
反糖水片的模式，本以为能步入正轨的生活被无情的撕扯，情人、朋友、乃至自己的亲生母亲，最后会发现，原来爱自己的人，一直在自己身边。
看完之后立马查了：1.此戳爷真的是彼戳爷吗？Yes！ 2. 戳爷真的是Gay吗？ Yes！ （妈耶，太梦幻了
就是说，夏天、海边、少年很容易肚子里胀气然后放出一个叫爱情的屁。
