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.

真踏马讨厌恐怖片导演当谜语人
不过影片过于片段式的处理使得故事性较弱，整体的堆砌感很浓，观看过程不免犯困。
其实还没缓过来。无法理解的震颤感。大概是sc1d100=100的爱丽丝梦游仙境。写实主义的“人吃人”。充斥着肮脏，罪恶，麻木，绝望。来自现实的映射。沉淀了所有污秽的索多玛。积攒了一整部电影的毁灭冲动。印象最深的有三幕：西西弗斯小人向调查员伸出了手。摇摆不定的毁灭倒计时。以及结尾薛定谔的归零或是轮回。
因为脸多一星 谁不爱看帅哥呢 92组相性真好 人和人之间的化学反应真神奇
有此片在，之前的所有重口味动画都是小菜。有此片在，之前的所有深度动画都是小儿科。
像和某这样的一神，肯定是大规模蛮族入侵和征服的结果，一神的背后是血流成河、杀人如麻，它们先是靠杀人来普及信仰，后来信仰本身就成了杀人的理由，一神是人类精神的怪胎，是这个世界的灾星。
定？！格？！动？！画？！
视觉冲击的颠疯之作，密恐与恐虫症患者的毒药，剧毒。很难想象导演经历了什么，已是凡人无法理解的维度。神毁灭一切给你看，惩罚一切逆神的生灵，就这样不断创造再毁灭，再创造再毁灭。好像这样，我猜的。
太过于猎奇，绝对属于禁片之列，承受能力低的人建议不要看
你看懂了吗？ 看完只能说似懂非懂 能理解一些却更多不理解 很高深的定格动画
一部匠人作品，Phill Tippet是当年的特效大师，定格动画本身就带有一种特殊的质感，拍成恐怖奇幻电影是非常合适的。虽然没有什么故事可言，但是人物与场景设计及许多猎奇的桥段足以吸引着人看下去。无需多项，只需被眼前的画面所震撼。 7/10

一部疯疯癫癫的定格造物与毁灭，一个史诗级的超无聊巨作！
没看懂，但还挺好看的～怪异黑暗血腥中透着诡异的可爱。
是个80s的噩梦，黑漆漆黏糊糊，奇异诡谲怪诞至极，却不明所以。
或许，它仅仅只是想表达痛苦，我们存活于世间这肮脏的痛苦。
我不能说我看懂了，我的理解是疯狂的人类，压榨、利用、贪婪、战争、恶欲。
