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.
女主厉害到应该可以秒杀所有漫威变种人…是欧米茄级别中的欧米茄级别吧🤣电影套路还是那样，主要看特效和打斗，不过女主厉害到都不需要动手了，那就看特效了，特效还是比肩好莱坞的。整体很轻快，没有什么爱情水戏，异能女性战力爆表，能够很轻松地看完，够了。
个人觉得没有第一部好看 第一部扮猪吃老虎的剧情更吸引我 这部太普通了 女主全程面无表情 两个好人死了都没什么煽情的感觉 还是比较喜欢金多美版魔女 笑面虎
结尾勉强把前面乱七八糟的过程给圆回来了，没有第一部扮猪吃老虎的那种反差，第二部更多是力量悬殊的比拼，加上吃货属性，打戏其实没有第一部拳拳到肉的真实，反而就是太厉害，总的来说，期待下一部吧。
说着蹩脚中文的傻冒们被韩国怪物虐杀，呵呵…
太拖沓，感觉一半以上的剧情不需要存在，中文更加是大可不必，尬死！
魔女2开场就让人觉得是什么钩8洗钱产品啊，色调调得奇奇怪怪的，又蓝又灰又绿，天海云一个颜色。有钱搞这些乱七八糟的不如去把原剧本买回来拍得实在。
开倍速看，结尾打戏开启超级赛亚人模式，只好恢复正常速度，不然太快了无法看清。
演员的表演也是灾难级别的。
第一部以前看过但是已经忘记剧情了，然后今天看这部就感觉剧情有点乱七八糟的，很多有超能力的人飞来飞去打来打去的，特效挺牛逼的，就是没看懂。
脸盲 再加上发型啥都一样 一直以为是第一季的女主 看到最后 才知道 不是把第一季重新演了一遍
这一部应该走搞笑路线的，魔女2号，鬼佬和Chief二人组都有这个潜质，可惜后面杀疯了
Made in Shanghai 那几个得得瑟瑟被扫地僧级别的女主角花式吊打
比起第一部还是差了些 希望能有第三部把一切都圆回来吧 对第三部只有一个要求 就是希望能不要再压抑了 求求直接爽爆好吧 谢谢。
导演实在是有太多的恶趣味了，天马行空的超能力、血浆断肢齐飞，看这怪力乱神给混搭的。
这一部应该走搞笑路线的，魔女2号，鬼佬和Chief二人组都有这个潜质，可惜后面杀疯了
相比较第一部 期待越大 失望越大 跟第一部同样的毛病 就是拖沓冗长 铺垫个一个多小时 然后劲爽一会儿 虽说魔女2的能力感觉更强 但是相比较第一部竟然有种换汤不换药的感觉 只是换了个女主罢了 希望下一部好一些吧 别再这样冗长了 前面真的快睡着了 而且感觉铺垫了半天 铺垫了个寂寞 说了什么么 好像说了 又没完全说 就离谱 另外说英文的那个我还能接受 说中文的就大可不必了吧 你们几个韩国人说着非常不清楚的中国话 我真想一人一个大比兜的让他们说回母语 烦死了 不过上海站的小哥还是有点儿帅的
极具打击感，加上可见伤口又杀不死的肉体，让人过足暴力瘾。
这女主更离谱，
没有太大的新意，打斗戏也没第一部出彩
说回演员，新女主这水平在咱的国产青春剧里一抓一大把，就是说换主演起码也得再找个像金多美那样有灵气的演员吧，还有李钟硕这状态也不大行呀，可能是刚退伍还没适应？
