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.
平行世界我们无法一探究竟，正解谁都不知道，所以就做自己吧，永远不被驯化，永远相信爱情。
恋爱是动态的，双方可以不同，也可以相互分享发掘爱好，交流深刻的思想，讨论解决面临的问题。不一起成长，没有思想互动，只一味地想维持之前的感觉，注定会因为步调不一致而走散。
坂元裕二真的每个剧本开头都写得超好，然后没有一个不烂尾，写个好结尾对他来说真的太难的……豆瓣应该投资一下这部电影的翻拍版，把里面所有手机壳、衣服、帆布鞋、帆布包、手帐、收藏夹啥的全换成市集豆品，书影音日记相册广播同城小组功能全用上，简直完美的宣传。
既然爱情是这样，那退一步的友情也会因为这残酷现实而被时间冲淡吗……
但你要说这片子在揭示爱情和文青这两种幻觉……可得了吧，它可完全没走到这步，自以为是的符号堆砌看起来很像讽刺罢了。
慕名而来，带着纸巾，结果完全无感甚至有点烦男主。大概就是讲俩人学生时期因为聊得来音乐电影文学，爱好啥的出奇一致在一起。
今天看《花束般的恋爱》，结论：没钱不要谈恋爱。
二人一开始越是“世另我”，当节奏出现偏差就越难接受。幸好在疫情lockdown前分手了，不然关系会更窒息。
在形似共鸣的幻象中开始的故事，因时过境迁与社会打磨而逐渐露出附庸风雅“打卡”文化的无力面相，最终瓦解；当然生活不免都有无谓的一面，只是这无谓还要叠加一再的失望与偏航才能摧毁故事，似乎连“无谓”也有些无谓。片子本身还是酸酸甜甜的普通爱情故事，不细想，看完笑笑过去就还好。
把主题归为“败给柴米油盐”还挺不负责任的233 共同喜欢的书、电影、漫画，说到底只是对话的前定和谐，“世界上另一个我”这种判断，下太早啦！恰恰是在既非大人也非孩童的时期里，恰恰是在面临巨大无形之物，恰恰是被车轮碾过之时，看清楚“我他妈到底是谁”的修行才刚刚开始呀w
其实无论是前面热恋期讲两人的默契和甜蜜，还是后面的矛盾冲突，都有点极端了，让人无法相信，但写那么细腻的情感，内心的os，还是相当有一手，不回头地挥挥手，全景地图上的小小奇迹，还是被感动到了，一点点。
唯一不足是，男主作为一个文青，这前后变化也太大太刻意了吧，简直判若两人啊，尤其是捧读成功学的那段。但到了最后的餐厅告别戏，又非常加分，这是本片最佳的记忆点。
恋爱的感觉不过是因为刚在一起所以愚蠢的头脑把我们情绪放大化的结果。
真正的生活需要三分文艺情结就够了，剩下的七分要用来面对世俗之事，毕竟人都是社会属性。太贪恋随心所欲是无法支撑下去的，就像男女主，渐渐就走到了分岔路口。
二人一开始越是“世另我”，当节奏出现偏差就越难接受。幸好在疫情lockdown前分手了，不然关系会更窒息。
即便是当初百分之百合拍的两个人 在岁月 社会 工作 生活的冲击下 也很难像过去那样的同频 相似的人总是容易相爱 却不能完整的一起走完一生 这是我最遗憾的
这哪是让你看什么美好的恋爱 这是掰开了让你看爱情的真相啊
在形似共鸣的幻象中开始的故事，因时过境迁与社会打磨而逐渐露出附庸风雅“打卡”文化的无力面相，最终瓦解；当然生活不免都有无谓的一面，只是这无谓还要叠加一再的失望与偏航才能摧毁故事，似乎连“无谓”也有些无谓。片子本身还是酸酸甜甜的普通爱情故事，不细想，看完笑笑过去就还好。
没有谈过这样的恋爱，也太久没谈恋爱，感受不到痛彻心扉，但仍会感到遗憾带来的揪心。自己一个人度过了人生的低谷与高峰，所以唯一能和剧情产生共鸣的就是“孤独感”。“两个人的寂寞比一个人的寂寞更可怕”，而我尚且无法战胜一个人的寂寞。所以爱情和婚姻到底是什么，我如饥似渴地祈求它，又无比地忌惮它
女主是一个很有趣可爱的人，她真的完全不需要靠某一段关系来确认自己的存在感或者是把谁谁谁当成自己的氧气，所以我喜欢这个结局kkkk
