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.
花絮很好看,制片的采访好看.演员再次读剧本的时候还能是那个样子.尤其是Phoebe. 演员的各种煽情看起来假得让人尴尬.反而是当年的影像能看出来几个人关系确实好.老友记这个题材\这个选角真是太厉害了.
最让我感动的地方是当年主创人员对这部剧倾注的心血，从选角开始到每一集拍摄现场根据观众的反应临时brain storm改剧本改台词，那个年代的人对这项事业投注的满腔热血，还有无数观众从这部剧中得到的抚慰支持，一部好的作品蕴藏的力量是如此之大。当然那些幕后的花絮和六位主演当年的友情也是十分珍贵。
到头来还是在讲这个嘛……果然期待值不能拉太高
小钱钱说话好少有点心疼 感觉这次团聚他是最用情的 毕竟其他人现实生活里对他帮助确实最多
你曾痛失所爱，你愿平静赴死。你曾让那长枪刺穿瞳孔，将这血肉融为河流……却在四分之一世纪的停滞轮回后，迎来所谓“爱与和平”。双子座庵野老贼呀，果然骨子里还是摆脱不了好为人师癖。
一边笑一边感动，friends的笑点永远不会过时，他们六个人的感情也好像永远没有出戏
虽然搞不太清楚什么情况，但我先放个5⭐在这里
前50分钟绝佳，那应该是26年以来eva都没有尝试过的切入点；同样也被插入栓困了26年的痞子也不再以少年的视角开展叙述，在EOE里讲过东西也没必要再高清重置一遍，司令的补完着实是个小惊喜；而一直以来的种种讨论似乎都忽略了eva其实是痞子非常私人的作品，整特摄的活也好，致敬EOE也好，多少都透露出“爷真不想再玩这个系列”的意思了，好在借故事之名暂时完结人类补完之后，痞子终于可以去拍自己真爱的奥特曼了。
当年一起看过老友记的朋友们 how u doin'？
最终可以说是一个众人都得到了幸福的世界吧，好不好纯属见仁见智。大人世界的圆满可能不是一直在一起，而是只需要“我喜欢过你”“我也喜欢过你”就够了。
笑着笑着就哭了，哭着哭着又笑了。真好啊，生命中曾有你们陪伴。那是你们最好的岁月，也是我们最好的岁月。
Thank you all for helping me go through all those bad moments!
看到六个人重聚确实很感慨，但是我觉得节目制作人本身没有搞清楚，观众们想看的就是他们几个人聊天谈过往，而不是一堆不相干的明星出来走秀唱歌……
大家的容貌有所变化，必经岁月败美人，但是读台词时过去与现在的无缝衔接，能告诉我们他们之所以能演的如此之好，是因为演的都是自己。
唉，人总是要成长的。想来真嗣和源堂其实是一样人，只不过儿子比父亲更早打开心扉成长起来，想起来还是儿子救赎了父亲。看完觉得最后明日香的结局其实挺好的，明日香更需要一个普通的成年人，剑介也更配得上明日香。回头看来，懦弱的白痴真嗣竟是所有人的解药。再见啦，所有的EVA。
大概人过了三十之后才会发现真希波才是女神吧……
庵野秀明的节奏一直不喜欢，不过情怀满分了！~~
哄睡俩娃，和老公爬起来，溜出卧室，就着深夜烧烤，看完这个重聚。岁月如飞刀啊。啥不说了，开启第N次老友记剧集重播。
“我们在活动上碰到，就会坐到对方旁边去，一晚上聊个不停。然后，跟活动其他朋友道歉，请他们理解，没办法，我碰到重要的人了。”
3.14庆幸自己不是cp党。在大屏幕下默默擦眼泪。再见了我们的EVA。N刷预警。2刷imax，3刷4D。4D晃得让人无法集中并不推荐。似乎摸清了一点点门路但还是搞不懂很多点，各路解说也都是充斥着各自的臆测🤣庵野大大别高估我们了快出官方解说求求您。4刷大概是最后一刷了，朋友不解我为什么要刷这么多次，其实想想更多的是不舍，觉得看eva时的我就能梦回十四五岁的年纪，结束了就跟着少年少女们一瞬回到了28岁。宛如浦岛太郎般的体验在别的作品也许不会有了T T
