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.
非常的早期UC，很感动又能看到最原味的高达故事，反战，生活与战争的强对比，夸张的80年代表现方法，以及永远被暴打的GM哈哈哈哈
秀美景色下的儿女豪情，为了祖国建设可以不顾一切，令人感动且激动。
《高山下的花环》传统杰克苏支教版
生活总该迎着光亮前行，质朴人间，赴远而行的老师，就是他们的光亮。
白色基地在库库鲁斯·多安的岛上徐徐盘旋之时，仿佛听到了为众人日后命运的唏嘘。
很好地保留了上个时代近乎残忍的天真：随处可见的冷战阴影可以说是如影随形。然后高达好帅
高达系列看的不多，怎么说呢，剧情比较中规中矩。
很不错 比较小众 聚焦藏族支教 让大家看到一个平时关注不到的有笑有泪的故事
介于真实和不真实之间，有亲身体会会感触更深
tv改编的 有流水账的感觉 3d的高达 表现过于拟人化有点违和
人的一生就是要奉献给一件有意义的事，不需要繁华，朴实才是最吸引人的，我愿意将我余下的生命奉献给它
富野和安彦真是完全不同的两位作者，对核弹的不同刻画确实令人印象深刻
如果不从uc系的眼光来评价的话还是一部尚可的子供向作品的。
共同谱出了一首令人感动的乐曲
3星半。制作上很不错，有高清的怀旧画风人物，也有爽快的机战，不过考据党可能不太满意过于拟人化（灵活）的机体了。剧情编排上可能不太恰当。意识形态的东西据说有问题，不过毕竟是几十年前的作品改的嘛。
这部片子它把视角聚焦于来自北京的一位普通的支教老师，故事随主人公韩松初到和日村小学后，从各种不适应当地环境、习俗、饮食，到逐渐融入集体再到成为集体的一个主持者的变化一一展开。
102分钟之后就别看了“明星支教点”就算了
风景美到极致，比风景更美的，是那份人与人之间如此纯真的情感。
有人批评说这部电影把高达拍的过度拟人化了，甚至主要战斗全靠武士搏斗。这就是一种矛盾，这些巨大机器人到底是武器还是一个活生生的人的延申；可以说这是一部披在科幻作品皮下的老派武士电影。 有力量就会吸引来灾祸么？在战争环境下一定要顺应着时代的潮流么？ 除了老派以外，扑面而来的是一种浪漫，在各种糟糕的环境下依然有着微弱的火种，巴黎在燃烧吗？有的只有明亮的“烟花”
青青草原 蓝蓝的天 孩子们纯真的脸庞 朴实的藏民 条件虽然很艰苦 不管男主角开始出于为自己的目的只身赴藏 到最后他也是坚持了下来 为了孩子们的未来 每一名支教老师都值得尊敬 电影真实还原了藏区风貌 风土人情 值得一看的影片
