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。
双向“铁道员”（高仓健）的点子特别好，就是元素太杂、节奏太拖。林允儿的角色整个删了也不碍事，结果还提名了个青龙影后。
两条情感线不搭，结尾是不是强行加的，然后男主姐姐那我觉的没必要这样写，后面就总感觉怪怪的。不过整体还是不错。
标准的韩式故事片，一样的韩式套路，有情无理，用力过猛。关键词不是梦想，却是幻想。亮点还是在林允儿的表演了。可见的恋爱中的女孩的眼中闪烁的光。可是，现实中眼中有光的不只是爱，还有冷漠的中山狼。
最终情感的泄洪也仅仅凭借音乐和演技让观众落泪 而中途的那些拼凑起来的线索和故事仿佛脱离电影之外 建议中韩立刻成立中韩电影交流协会 现在国产电影和韩国电影的路数基本傻傻分不清
爱情与梦想题材电影里 试图在其中加入父子关系和解 温馨姐弟情凸显 励志乡村少年逆袭路 想象一下一群不懂设计的甲方让你把修改意见全部表现在一张图上的感觉 嗯就是这样 挺难的
挺奇妙的一个故事剧情，挺喜欢的，看了其他评论知道是跟《现在去见你》同一个导演，挺厉害。
多一些童话与童心
2021-2022跨年夜的观影选择。题材蛮新鲜，姐姐和爸爸的几次反转设计也还不错，但结尾陷入了无止境的煽情，有点拖沓了。
俗俗的命题作文，以及确实不大理解后半段怎么变成了爸爸再爱我一次，早干吗去了。喜剧效果都靠朴正民自带，但真是一滴眼泪都挤不出来。
美好的童话故事，还有甜到齁的爱情。最后和父亲和解那段太催泪，真的是奇迹啊。
去世的亲人还能照旧陪伴在侧，在嘻嘻哈哈的日常里打闹玩乐，男主其实是非常blessed的，真心羡慕。韩式小清新就是恰到好处，看起来拍着容易实际上细节都是由多少心血打磨而成，有“程式化”“套路化”的嫌疑又每一部都各有特色，看起来津津有味。
女主可爱，爱情的部分又甜又老套，姐姐的部分都很感人，反而另一个重头戏父子情姗姗来迟，含蓄过度，毫无波澜
其实和智商高不高没什么关系，和姐姐的感情戏，林允儿的感情戏都没什么关系，女主是完全多余的，朴正民演高中生年纪有点大了吧，李星民这个爸爸命也是够硬的，老婆女儿的死都跟他有关，但是不得不说韩国片真的是能编，煽情真的是顺手拈来，随便拍拍都能感动人。
1.小村子的车站故事是真实的，真暖心。2.男主和姐姐的故事线挺好的，就是在最后缺少一个圆满的道别，反而只是靠台词硬拉。3.允儿真的是迷人。
尽管姐姐部分用了超现实的手法，还是一部韩国网大或电视电影水准的电影。
我恨我自己…
配色挺好看。但我不李姐林允儿这个论戏份还不如配角、论份量毫无意义、论表演无闪光影后moment的角色为什么青龙会有影提？？？（演到一半我都把她忘了。。明明姐姐那个角色是男主的精神支柱，剧情的起承转都是围绕姐姐的。虽然他韩影帝竞争年年都不小，影后竞争年年都挺水，但我不李姐，还是不李姐，如果这都能影提，那朴正民也可以才是
「建立了通往村莊的路之後 更自由的和世界溝通了」一個由村民自己搭建的小小停靠車站 這本身就是個奇蹟 而離開卻又似乎不曾離開的姐姐或許也是 帶給弟弟治癒和勇敢 以及和父親和自己的和解 坦然面對自己擁有的幸福
看到照片里俊京将花束举在身旁，好心酸啊！
