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.
真无聊 那帮傻逼队友真的看的想打 我还是喜欢2d的跟woody他们在一起的buzz
那个接吻镜头是光年上级女领导，跟自己爱人40周年结婚纪念，镜头前一闪而过的一个同性爱人之吻，连一秒都不到。。。
最大的弊端是矛盾点（晶体问题）太太太薄弱了，晶体问题的解决、制造、配方毁灭……配方本来就是Sox解决的，身为机器的它难道记不住吗？就算它记不住，那好，老巴斯有时间游历太空，却没时间让Sox再重新解决一下配方问题吗？（剧情很多地方有毛病，不过给小朋友看的还是宽容一点吧，动画片剧情哪有几个完美的）整部剧看起来节奏比较平，并不突出，可是Sox实在太可爱
像狗的猫Sox完全开挂
又是女同，尼这一套必不可少的元素，而且故事讲的并不好
看到一半睡着了，第一部看完没有哭的皮克斯作品，整个剧情套路到看到中间列举路线的机器人，把职员表后的彩蛋都能猜到的程度，所以就算开头的字幕强行让我带入安迪的视角也无法保持持续的亢奋。
如果我能回到过去，我才不会管新时间线上被抹杀的是谁
7.0
Let Kids be kids 国外imdb 才四分 国内这帮殖人真的能舔
开头挺逗，说1995年，安迪买了一个巴斯光年玩具，而这个玩具来自他最爱看的一部电影，就是接下来这部……其实算是个比较俗套的时空穿越故事，个人英雄与团队协作的讨论，各种zz正确的设定，再加一个萌物喵喵，齐活。
to infinite and beyond!
如果不是闹得沸沸扬扬，我根本不会注意到那个镜头。。。
这要是有中文版，然后再请翟志刚同志配音是吧🌝🌝
不管这个设定背景是否飞船上的是全人类，为什么这么重要的配比数据会没有备份，全飞船的科学家六十几年还比不上一个机器小猫的计算能力。
像狗的猫Sox完全开挂
嗯，整体感觉还不错~~但剧情太弱了。。皮克斯这是不太行了么？。。。首先是开头，一只小猫咪努力下都能解决能源问题，整个探险队难道没有人能解决？！！逗我呢吧。。。然后是最后，反派死得有点快，人类指挥官态度反转也没有道理。。还是那句话，要是迪士尼的片子，我会给五星，但这是皮克斯，原谅我标准这么高吧
荒唐的剧情走向
狗尾续貂，毫无新意，如今的迪士尼也开始躺尸摆烂了，利用情怀剥削着玩具总动员IP的价值，巴斯的起源故事也只刹那绽放于这一场星际间的感悟与冒险。卸下了玩具总动员的光环便魅力尽失，平庸无趣的烂俗情节却在老调重弹，不过就是梦想与生活的不同意义，不过就是选择团结与释然的浴火重生，我是不会相信安迪是看了这部电影爱上巴斯光年的，倒不如去买个光彩耀人的机器猫玩具呢…
抛开［玩具总动员］的情怀和平淡的剧情来看待这部动画电影，我只能说迪士尼你好样的，政治正确和LGBTQ+被你拿捏得死死的，吃枣药丸。
