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.

真是纯洁的SM关系，男主太拼了吧，被打被踩被咬被滴蜡
评论里倒也没有必要上升到那么高的价值观，老老实实就享受俊男靓女的ds表演不就好了。
另类童话故事。女主能够尽力尝试着踏入一个非同寻常的领域，用男主钟爱的方式为他修复心伤，这算是一种超能力了。被李濬荣的演技惊呆，那一脸溢满了被教训和虐待的快感真是绝了。
很不错啊，全剧其实很收着，有表达BDSM，但不暴露也不过分，但还是让这部轻喜剧既有情色感觉，也很好玩。
三星：尺度不够，剧情也算拖沓，本来其实有机会演绎成一出女性上位时代的，可惜咯
是清水了些，不过男女主演技还不错哦，而且还挺有cp感的，当个小清新爱情片看还可以。
因为是漫改所以没抱很大期望，结果居然高出我预期。只是结尾略微有点韩剧风。男主选角太到位了。徐玄中规中矩，而且黑眼圈有点重…女主显然最佳人选应该是全智贤，但估计请不来…🤣
请演员表把金宝罗添上没错，就是男主角的前女友，给添上！！！
徐贤真是越来越漂亮了。初始带着好奇去看，以为男女团都能接分级片了，实际上镜头很清水，男女主是纯爱。不得不说男主还是牺牲了不少，我都快想不起来《模仿》里的高冷酷炫男了。
本质是爱情轻喜剧，配色什么的都让人观感很舒服。
片方:把男人拍成狗。
虽然女主表面是D，但其实这段感情里她才是S，被男主精神支配着。所以也是到后面剧情开始深刻，连女主朋友都是S，给人感觉就泄了气。喜欢女主朋友那个配角演技太木了，和晨跑的女主演对手戏时真是被吊打。
为一些小众xp的支持 各种各样的世界 先看了再看是否考虑接受
確實是像我西皮說的，愛情輕喜劇而已。本身對DS的討論不算太多。其實還是最開始的論壇說得對，小眾審美不該拿到大眾面前來，不然就會失控。徐姐好攻啊！男主的唇珠很好看哈哈哈哈。
还蛮有趣的，整体气质偏轻松，但也不乏对BDSM的探讨。点到为止的纯情恰巧能增强张力，李濬荣也太可爱了吧。
虽然套了一层DS外衣，但是更像是关于现有性别结构下上下权力者性别反转的故事。结局太韩了。。。
最好的结尾应该是女主命令男主跟她谈恋爱，男主欣然接受，结束。
男主真的好狗狗，可爱。原来不是讨厌这题材，只要颜值高，女性向，也可以接受。
