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.
题材不错，朴正民允儿cp感爆棚；李星民演技爆棚。但前半段和后半段的衔接好差，有的情节一直在重复。
催泪的点，温情的点我都懂，处理的也可圈可点，但是我就是想看男女主谈恋爱啊，不要看男主角老活在死去姐姐的影子里啊！哈哈哈哈
看到一半还不懂姐姐咋回事，后半一直泪崩。其实不算个好看的电影。
而真正奇迹的，是我们结婚，生子，创造出的生命与我们一生的羁绊。
我恨我自己…
其实是值三星半的，父子线和姐弟线都很感人，但看完后本意冲着林允儿去的我一脸懵的发现好像有没有允儿的角色对于主线基本没影响啊…
有几段青春懵懂的试探和误会太好笑了。
爸爸的爱永远像座大山一样深沉，最后是男人之间的和解。 林允儿的出现告诉我们，女人的欲擒故纵能把男人的魂抓得牢牢的。第一次看林允儿演戏，不露齿的笑挺美的。青春美少女。
而关于郑俊京，贯穿始终的是他创建养源站的动人故事，还有他与姐姐的亲情，与父亲的隔阂，与议员女儿的恋情，以及学业上的高歌猛进，一路辉煌。他创建的小小站点有没有发挥作用，片中似乎没有提到，但这个年轻人为了改善家乡人民的出行环境而不懈努力的精神，的确令人钦佩和感动。
姐姐的身份能藏到结尾再揭晓会更好一点。
蛮有诚意的片子
全剧最大的反转就是姐姐的早逝，陪伴弟弟的一直是姐姐的灵魂，全片温馨又甜腻，纯纯的爱恋，不言而喻
和姐姐对戏时通篇没有第三视角，直到最后男主离乡的列车，空荡荡的车厢，才给了姐姐在与不在的对比镜头。
林允儿比电影好看。这部电影完全没有cp感啊，就是被编剧强行凑了起来。
韩国电影真是厉害，明知道剧情很套路但还是能拍到你痛哭流涕，还有林允儿太漂亮了，演高中生毫无违和感！！！
没什么感觉。如果这不是灵异片，那就是精神分裂或者臆想症患者，高度的”姐宝”男。原本性格懦弱一事无成的人，又要给他狂加天才的Buff，瞬间变成韩国第一人，儿戏过头了。也许真实的事件就是韩国某个小村有个小站，导演大腿一拍来我们整点故事，于是想当然的加一堆元素，凑成了一部片。
韩国电影真是厉害，明知道剧情很套路但还是能拍到你痛哭流涕，还有林允儿太漂亮了，演高中生毫无违和感！！！
7.5
比预期的好看很多，中间有很大的反转。前面比较轻松，后面比较感动。女主线的份量太低，重头戏全在亲情线，不平衡。
剧情到一半的时候突然有了反转，几乎变成了灵异片。
