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.
还真不错，这要电影院上映还了得啊，腾讯就81分钟，估计剪了不少笑点。。
一事无成的男主，在公司干啥啥不行，公司老板的父亲一直在做烧烤，老板让男主只要搅黄父亲的烧烤店就算堪当大用，男主找到了腰子姐和东北禽王，跟老爷子竞争，老爷子也找了四大天王，烧烤辅助竞争，最后男主爱上了烧烤事业。当齐心做一个事业的时候，稍有成绩，你就爱上他了
笑点蛮多的，剧情也流畅，演员阵容不变哈哈哈，没想到佳佳做导演还挺上道，还不错
其实爱笑里面本来是最不爱看崔志佳的，但是看了几个兄弟去年的电影，竟然只有小崔的电影还让人乐呵，就还挺那个的吧。
一个专业很好家庭幸福的小孩去百老汇试镜成功并顺便在抖音走红的故事，全片最大的矛盾是亚裔小女孩对他的嘲笑……
意外惊喜，挺好笑的，各种笑点处理也比较自然，笑点很多，支持国产喜剧。我笑点比较高，老郭的相声我好多都没什么感觉，脱口秀大会看看看，这部剧真心不错，推荐！
“Musicals allow us to say things we can’t actually say in real life.”
开头八分钟爆笑两次，妈宝男好戳笑点。很合格的喜剧小品，春晚快来抄
能看下去那种，说实话演技是没毛病，比好多大制作演技真实，但是故事比较平
故事比较完整，能做到这一点，就已经超过了今天的绝大多数网大。最后的反转有点意思。缺点就是有点平，笑点有些不足。看到这部片子的时候开心麻花一部院线在上映，还有一部春节也要上，但口碑却差得很，想起这几年开心麻花出的一堆烂片，恐怕连这些及格的网大都干不过。
全片2分无新意，只有男主老婆的那句台词：“两个工作你选一个，选一个自己喜欢的。”那个片段瞬间泪目。这大概就是真正爱你的人吧。老爷子不愧是老戏骨，唯一一个演技在线的。
美食片，简单讲述一个外行骗到两个内行一起分钱开烧烤店的故事，一天一顿大烧烤，一顿不行那就两顿。
观影体验相当不错，当然很多镜头还是明显很粗糙稚嫩，说难听点就是网大感挥之不去，但是大概意思和感觉是对的，佳佳的本子笑点蛮足的
唉，当初爱笑那个翩翩少年崔志佳，时光对你做了什么？
孩子的梦想剧场，一个小小的不起眼的孩子，或许没有很多的玩伴，但是他的梦想却是很大，坚持下来获得荣耀，这是电影里最美好的一刻，但在现实中往往需要付出的更多时间
东北草根文化都让这帮演小品、拍短视频的玩全乎儿了，下次直接放大招，整个《东北之王》吧。
不错 设定比西虹市首富好多了 后半段有点下滑
虽然故事俗套，但作为同类型的网大电影拍的还是可以的。
难得的小品演员跨界电影勉强可以看的，没有太多恶俗的搞笑，搞笑不算太做作，中间夹杂一些温情，挺好
作为网大算是及格吧，笑点多但不好笑，比较平庸，有些笑点很容易猜到
