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.

佩服自己居然看完了，也够无聊。不知集编剧导演于一身的究竟何许人也，为啥会被华谊兄弟找来干活？
铁道游击队的故事耳熟能详，新版的电影表现力很强。
这种镜头也谈不上多好，但是就是能解释什么叫电影感。结尾就比较拉垮，荒腔走板的。
范伟老师个人把老王的角色丰满了起来，三次点烟细微处彰显演技，没有他这个角色不会那么生动，但反之，张涵予的刻板形象就没什么看头了，感觉都一个样
看完真是感慨万千 不是烂片 也没有惊喜 终归于平淡 就像年少时我们曾为了Matrix而痴迷而心向往之 也在生活中消磨 不再谈起
节奏不太好，一直下雪，微超现实
前面挺好，肃杀的气氛出来了。后面成抗日神剧了
抗战那些年涌现出了无数的无名英雄 我们现在的和平年代真得感谢他
优点：范伟老师绝对值得夸，张涵予，魏晨这些人都正常发挥，杨浩宇饰演的教导员不是边缘人物，特效画面不错。
范伟扔手雷的戏的确帅气到我了。
正派抖精神大推运镜，反派掐指算推理达人；
用资本的话来说，矩阵重启是对《黑客帝国》经典三部曲剩余价值的再剥削，是对导演、IP游戏甚至影迷观众的PUA捆绑消费。
电影整体一般，不紧凑。
美术摄影优点夸过后，题材的断裂感就特别明显的凸显了问题，一二三章节奏太乱，前面墨迹了半天突然就结尾了，动作设计也不好看，几乎都是乱糟糟的打成一团，断层之后强行接戏很奇怪，魏晨这角色进入的简直莫名其妙，太刻意了
但是总体而言，电影的漏洞很多，综合三星。
中规中矩，有些情节经不起逻辑的推敲。锤子镰刀、小护士的情节基本可以略过。
【2022年第4部】两星给张涵予和范伟。1、故事的结构框架算是讲明白了，但是细节的处理实在粗糙。线路转换实在是硬转。2、电影节奏没有悬疑和刺激感。最后，范伟的演技真是厉害，特别是最后买酒扔炸弹的表情转换。
剧情弱鸡，全靠范伟演技。场景、摄影都挺不错，但剧情比样板戏都简单，前半部分剧情简单到无，反复重复一次次扒火车镜头，浴室都能商议开会了，传情报明明可以在浴室传，偏偏要排着队在日本鬼子眼皮底下传纸条，逻辑不通，就为了让女角硬行加入？莫名其妙让她送个牌子去，然后再见面就说送牌子被盯上了，也只能留下加入，但最后打了个酱油，又走了。这都什么事啊！
范伟的演技真是出神入化！王调度人物塑造的惟妙惟肖！让人信服！日本鬼子狡猾狡猾滴。向铁道游击队的英雄们致敬！
