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.
猫团子，一定知道世间好风景纳兹妹都想和你同看
7分。
田沼果然很温柔啊，真的好喜欢田沼和夏目在一起的感觉。冬和夏，今夜又在夏目的世界里度过了两季，真的每次都有被夏目治愈到。
看起来简简单单的剧情，哦，渺小的妖怪也在努力报恩，沼泽的妖怪也有相爱相杀的狗血。
如今想想，年幼之所以有憧憬，那是我们心灵之上的日子，有童话，有想象，有兀自想要实现的梦。而如今，现实将我们的一切逐渐坍缩，我们首先失去了选择，再往后才失去了人生。
真的好温柔的故事 会让人觉得生活很美好的作品
不记得从什么时候开始，夏天必须有夏目友人帐，否则就不像个完整的夏天。
夏目果然具有某种特殊的魔力吧。
就是两集拼成了一个剧场版，特意充了会员又充了值，但还是很满足！！！！！！后会有七！！！！！！
很久前就看过漫画这两话了，妖怪们真可爱呀。
我是如此的弱小，我只想要报答你的恩情。还是很开心，我们终于看到了相同的风景。
攒了一个夏日的夏目没舍得看，在春日的时候想着我一定会在某个蝉鸣的夏日午后，在空调房里捧着半个西瓜慢慢品味，结果最后的最后正好在立秋这日看完，夏目还是那个温柔善良的夏目，娘口三三还是那只嗜酒好吃的肥喵，一切都还是那么美好。
一个东西能不忘初心的穿过漫长时间保留下来便更显的珍贵。
三筿人形好帅哦！！三花好可爱，完成了任务，不放弃。
不可结缘，徒增寂寞吗，也不是啊，回忆就是最美好的礼物。永远会爱猫咪老师
还有吗还有吗还有吗？什么时候出第七季啊啊啊啊！
啊咧啊咧，心情复杂，果然只有斑夏不会背叛我TAT。娘口三三谢谢你。
纳兹米和娘口回来了😭这算是第七季的预告吗？第七季快来吧！！！等不及了！
由两个可以当做TV短篇的故事组成。《唤石》的情节很简单，一个小妖怪救了悬崖上的鸟，被岩铁看见，岩铁每隔一阵会陷入沉睡，需要有人来唤醒自己。岩铁便把这个任务交给小妖怪。在前往沉睡之地的途中，小妖怪躲避着想要取代她完成任务的其他妖怪，与夏目相遇，一起努力实现目标。这其实是个最最简单的承诺与信任的故事，但好像年龄大了，反而看这样的故事会愈发触动。大概是知道现实中很难出现这样的坚守和宁静的缘故吧。第二个故事是系列最常见的羁绊主题，两只池妖约定不时较量一下，但其一由于池塘干涸而妖力渐失，不得已附身于人，另一只则化为访客前来。田沼和夏目的君子之交依旧清澈牢固，以之照应两只妖的友谊也颇巧妙。还是期待好久不见的第七季和新剧场版吧。
好久没看夏目了，趁着大会员没过期赶紧看了，其实还好，故事都差不多，主要是情怀。
