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.
是什么样的爱让你成为现在的自己才是最重要的的。
一直等到最后也没等到他们复和，这才是现实吧，不会再再一起了。
同性家庭诶，还有关于合法和小孩的问题诶，这么严肃的题材，这样一个清新的角度拍出来，我笑成鹅叫了，看到最后，妈妈可真有你的，终于知道为啥电影名叫爱的千丝万缕了，人和人的羁绊本来也就是各种千丝万缕说不清的联系。
客观3.3，感情分3.5星。男主的两个爸爸相爱多年后还是要分开，争夺抚养权时才亲子鉴定，发现谁都不是亲生爸爸，但也不影响一家人今后的感情，男主从爸爸们身上学会了很多东西，拥有了自己的感情，结局正面积极鸡汤得不像话，难得看到肥皂剧不肥皂而包含了一点点深度的喜剧片。
虽然台词有些粗俗，剧情有点狗血抓马，不过掩盖不了是部好的电影，不管是什么样的家庭对孩子来说爱都是必不可少的，唯有富足的爱才能让孩子健康成长。
It’s the things that I’m bestowed with that shape me gradually.
每一对情侣 都会有曲线起伏的感情 或许归于平淡 依然狗血 但人和人之间总会有千丝万缕的联系 这就是爱带给我们的
果然出轨，代孕全是你们的G点…But放下手机，看看周围，到底有几家没有这些不道德的破事，同志家庭一样有，没有那种纯情的爱情，同志电影就不配了？这个电影拍的很好，靴靴
"结束后还算真爱么？"
抓马情感大乱炖，所有的爱与恨交织在几代人之间，最后如星尘一般理不清但看的楚
你，剪了我最爱的西装，
3.5星。多出来的0.5是本片表达的社会意义。大多数婚姻的维系需要一个孩子，大多数同性家庭不会有孩子。经由抚育孩子所凝结的家庭纽带不适用于大多数同性家庭。这也意味着，同性伴侣之间需要建立一种强有力的联接（比如共同的理想志趣或者强有力的互相理解等）。或者如福柯所说，突破异性恋思维的以友情为纽带的新型人际关系。
很暖心的一部正能量电影 是的 我称它为正能量 这是部讲述二十年同性婚姻 最后一方劈腿 然后双方发疯 互相伤害 争夺他们代孕孩子一个法律认可身份的故事 同性婚姻 代孕 生母 出轨 出柜 这么多的元素杂糅在一部电影里 竟然可以产生如此美妙荒诞甚至有些喜感的化学反应 敬佩编剧的控场能力 这不是顺应社会法律固有两性关系 然后大灌拼搏向上 志存高远的荤腥鸡汤 而是让人认真考虑爱为何物的清新元气 爱产生于两个灵魂彼此相通之时 不受性别约束 爱又消失于两个渐行渐远的灵魂 同样不限于任何性别 我们要欣喜迎接爱的降临 也要坦然面对当爱已成往事 人的关系最是复杂 那只产生于人之间的爱 更是千丝万缕 难以捋清 重要的是 我们依然心中有爱 做一个正直 诚实 有爱心的人
4.5 题材太好了，千丝万缕都是爱！无论是同性婚姻还是异性婚姻，其实都是普通家庭。很喜欢这部片子的节奏，笑中带泪，莫名狂戳我笑点；可以说是非常dramatic了，两个爸爸性格截然不同。
同性婚姻也走到“有了孩子还能离咋滴”的阶段了😂脑补一场男主和双胞胎兄妹的三人情感大戏
好看。你們拍電影的要是想不到拍什麼就寫個好的同性戀劇本套個大家看膩的異性戀模式就好。
这片子真的是意外的出彩！同性婚姻合法化、血缘与养育。以及出轨，3个热门话题集中在一部片子里，导演和编剧都处理的非常流畅，也值得深思，演员们的演技也是毫无表演的痕迹，整体真的非常的优秀！
即使不在一起了也是一家人，还是依然会爱爱爱不完
结局不说教的话就真是挺可爱的片子了，小家的鸡毛蒜皮真的很久没看过了，看完更觉得人不是专一的感情动物，我们越来越不用在白头偕老里纠缠了真好 ps字幕后有彩蛋
没看前以为是部纪录片，看了几分钟后：这也太电影了吧？哈哈哈哈哈。
