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.
一般的谍战片。不知是主创个人因素还是英国人都是这样的性格，电影把本来是一场宏大叙事背景下的一场真实谍战行动，表现得过于平淡，加上一场莫名奇妙的感情戏，更是加深了这种感觉，完全与行动的历史意义不匹配，更没有国产谍战片那种扣人心悬的紧张刺激感。
联系: so ta ma what，我都看不懂了，还联系个屁实际。
J'adore. 很好玩，要是连续剧可以一直看下去
挺好玩的 四个机器人实在是太可爱了

让人十分不舒服的幽默
确实有失水准，但是也有亮点，还调侃了一下新冠；AI的反思；人类是有缺点的原创设计；篇幅和形式更像短集的电视剧；性爱机器男 有了裘德洛的标准 这个就像个智障啊
这果然法国人的脑洞，机器人如果反了干嘛需要人类做宠物，瞎扯
全程拍的没感觉到这事儿有多难，战事有多紧张……
的确很英伦～三角恋没啥必要，节奏忽快忽慢，总踏不在情绪要点上，但光是这个“传奇伟大”的诈骗故事本身，就足够吸引人了。
费叔的忧郁一如既往，标准但缺少波澜，故事娓娓道来不太适合娱乐，好在完成度还行，毕竟都是非常不错的卡司。但是这个三角恋真心有点多余…节奏略微慢了一些，包括冯罗恩的间谍部分也没交代清楚，也许有更好的方式表现。印象深刻的是做个三重间谍还要给别人打枪…我同情那个西班牙人…
剧情极度无聊，甚至连《我，机器人》的十分之一精彩程度都不到。色彩也是打涂鸦式花里胡哨，表演浮夸，没有喜剧效果。
陈词滥调+过时又自以为好笑的幽默。像极了法国车觉得自己牛逼极了却销量惨淡的样子。
没有逻辑的说出了机器人统治世界的种种危机
戈弗雷，弗莱明，蒙塔古……
007之父伊恩弗莱明的确曾经给那个讨厌的海军上将作过私人助手，这是个有趣的细节。当然，最重要的是脸叔太帅了。
感情戏过重，没有战争片的紧张感，故事有点空洞，演员到是不错的。
仿生机器人把真人当表演动物这设定简直了，就是有些无关对白太啰嗦，这故事架构其实可以磨成一部好片的，所以就还行，机器人的设定是亮点。
谍战中穿插了很多细节。只是英国戏剧的感觉有点重，四平八稳，厚重的历史感压住了谍战的狡黠，少了轻灵。
尤尼克斯机器人造反了，最终被家庭机器人和一个房间的人类给打败的故事！法国电影，法式幽默！无聊极致！未来人类社会充分依赖机器人，会导致危机四伏，最终会给机器人毁灭！就像电影《终结者》！但是这部《巨型漏洞》是以一个房间里的人为单位！小格局喜剧片！奈飞出品的！不喜欢这种口嗨电影！都是法式幽默台词，吵死了
