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.
由想像的“自我”，转化成作为“他者的他者”的“我”。深藏体内触不可及的语声（Voice）的独白。有趣的蜕变记录。音画适宜。
3.5，杀掉自己，更替人格，邪典温情味儿，爱是一切钥匙。
跟老谢前些天看了一半看不下去 然后今天我们分手了
爸爸问：是七点起床的吗？今天做了垃圾分类吗？有没有说不要这样，我爸爸会非常讨厌的？瞬间泪目，眼泪跟着流，感动又心疼。希望大家都健健康康。
41 三星半 如果你只是单纯的想看一个恐怖片 别看它！ 女巫用不用的身份去体验生命与自我 成为任何人 再成为自己的宿命与成长史…
我喜欢电影里的一小段话: 每天能去某个地方见某些人，这是很值得感谢的事情；有认识我的人正在某个地方关心着我，听着我的倾诉并回应着我，也是值得感谢的事情。
这个女巫牛呀，男女老少的人生都体验了一遍。
每次在小女巫幸福的时候，都被因为嫉妒而来的玛利亚女巫毁掉，换心化形的女巫设定蛮吸引人一直看下去的。
然而...然而还有生命值得深爱
絮絮低语的旁白，古朴美丽的山村风景，失焦放大的镜头，令人迷糊的哲学文艺范来了。
老女巫不要那么丑就观感不会这么不舒服，4:5的画框比例很有年代感，文艺片、诗电影，不是什么恐怖片，更像是诗意地真实描述在那个年代生存的不易和爱的难得，最后通过新旧女巫的不同对比，爱的羁绊原来如此微妙而感人。
女巫都要喜欢男人、生孩子，还喜欢到处可怜男人。哈哈哈，笑死了。
演技真好，家人之间的互相扶持很感人。但故事完全停留在家庭和个人层面，缺乏社会性探讨，有点可惜。P.S: 徐姐2022年律师角色无缝对接 XD
披着恐怖片设定的文艺片，代入女主的话，就是讲述从异类变成人类的温情故事了。
披着恐怖片外衣的家庭伦理片，我的身体里有条河流，永不止息，我是孩子老人男人和女人，我是世间万物，但并不能左右这世间万物。女巫的愿望不过是成为那条永不止息的河流，通过一个孩子，孩子的孩子。这一切如此困难也如此简单，爱这东西道不明却在毫无防备时突然降临，最不明白爱是什么的女巫却天赋异禀。而最渴望爱的女巫至死未得。这生命的河流，这世间万物的规律，不可谓荒谬，不可谓诡谲。
差点因为“恐怖”和“超自然”的标签错过了，其实还挺温情的，无奈也是真的无奈
让自己大热天的倒吸了一口冷气...............
7分吧，真的还不错，看了真的吃不下饭，太恶心了特效。。。。不过导演确实拍出了不一样的东西，值得学习
witch, women, life, poems and nature. 这种形式的声画半分离其实挺好的
