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.
太炸了，让火影海贼王们看看什么是真正的打架斗殴。有仇必报，快意恩仇，不讲什么君子报仇十年不晚，不手刃仇人绝不善罢甘休。打戏拳拳到肉，干净利落，招式炫目，畅快淋漓。能补刀绝不留情，死于话多是绝不存在的。台词也是精彩至极，无论是被逼入绝境后绝地反杀时放的狠话，还是正反对决时双方抛出的观点，都是既符合情景，又有理有据，既接地气，又升华主题，代入感极强，看得人热血沸腾。以前是能看到国漫的希望，现在看来国漫是真正的崛起了。当宣传推广能跟上，出现一部出圈的作品，属于我们自己的民工漫就真的不远了。
1小时开始反转，一直陪伴在男主身边的姐姐，其实很早就去世了，之前都是男主的幻想，早就有伏笔。明明也是老套故事，但眼泪就受不住，我真的很吃这种家庭亲情片，很真挚则很感人
比第一季差了些，感觉以叙事为主，不过这一集一小时四十分的时长真牛逼，推荐一看
80%的戏份是打戏，不得不说我忘记了第一季的剧情，看了一般没见男主才意识到这是前传。嗯，感觉剧场版没有正片好看，看《雾山五行》和《凡人修仙传》看得只看一集剧场版习惯不了三渲二，尤其是江渊吃橘子那里，太违和了，不怪看不惯的人说有廉价感……有一说一，打戏真的畅酣淋漓，好得没话说，罗通把西门任打到吐血那里印象深刻，仰天吐出一朵血莲花，极致的暴力美学。我爱武侠题材，四星吧。期待第二季江湖恩怨继续。
故事稍微弱了点，电脑设计的打斗场景看着过瘾。江渊可惜了，真是个聪明手巧的人才。
江湖武侠世界，打斗真的太好看了，每个人都很立体，我都有点站西门仁了，侠以武犯禁，成大道不拘小节～多一颗星，是给主创的鼓励
很棒，不再是仿日漫美漫而是有国漫自己的风格。武术动作值得现在所有武侠电影学习。故事剧本能再打磨一下就更棒了。多给一星鼓励一下
生死看淡，
真的是“奇迹”啊，姐姐的出现是个奇迹，弟弟的出国留学是个奇迹，二元站台的修成也是个奇迹。大山里出来的孩子，为了给村里修简便站台一次次给青瓦台写信。韩国这种温情又诙谐的电影，没有落入俗套的煽情故事，反而因为“奇迹”，有了不同的体验。哭惨了！
先是派人假扮罗通杀了他爹，然后散布消息让罗通被江湖追杀，西门仁这招就是妥妥的杀人诛心吧，幸好最后的结局恶有恶报大快人心了
动作潇洒果决，好看得眼花缭乱没得说了，还有偶尔飘忽的江湖气和世界观，真是难得的武侠动作大片。不过，也就是到这里了，没看过剧场版，但就单这个，剧情拼凑明显，完全没接上，比如罗与红的相遇，罗两次烟幕弹的逃逸，江的炼造大院等，要不是大量的打斗，早就不想看了，没办法，太热血了。还有，出镜半天梨花抢的机关居然最后没派上用场，反而冒出个鸳鸯刀。。。
续集请个好点的编剧吧 简直莫名其妙啊
打斗场面寸寸有力，反派人物也立得住。就是主角有点儿单薄。但是真的好看。
三星半。前3/4还不错，爸爸那条线的收尾扣半星！感觉创作者想要好多东西，爱情讲一段梦想讲一段爸爸讲一段，也因为姐姐的梗冲击力太强，后面很难再推上去了。场面和小情节的设计蛮好看。
剧情简单，台词简单，打戏虽多，但大同小异，反而越显冗长。
动作设计不用说，非常好。不过还是跟剧集版一样的毛病，重形式轻故事。
世无英雄，遂使竖子成名。
韓影就是有本事將一個看似平實的勵志故事說得時而輕盈詼諧，時而跌宕起伏。尤是姊姊那拍反轉，不是太罕見的幻想人物設定，卻還是讓人分外驚奇，並直接為男主的不願離開，以及父子之間的疏離狀態建立充分說服力。「火車在兩元站等你！」父子的雙向罪咎和自厭在星空下實現內斂而深沉的和解。電影最後一拍搭襯悠然響起的《Reality》，恰到好處，竟還取了一絲經典愛情片的神韻。片中有不少明顯經過細緻設計的動作與鏡位，是個值得持續關注的創作者。雖取材真實故事，但相當克制地不過度渲染煽情，而是在消化後以敘事重新編排。機靈、慧詰、主動，越來越是允兒在演員路上鍾愛的、並也格外適合她的角色特質。
延续了第一部打戏的爽感，电影里面打戏占去了至少2/3的篇幅，对于我这样的武侠迷来说，简直太过瘾了 /
没看过原TV，直接看的长片。看完就是非常后悔，感觉足足浪费了一个半小时。本以为会是类似《异邦人：无皇刃谭》那种，结果打戏部分也并不出色，没有什么特点，而且过于密集且每次的时长都比较短，看得也很不尽兴。至于文戏，不明白稍微把故事讲圆了就这么难吗？人物的行为更是毫无动机可言，看得非常难受。
