Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC肆&#參玖s adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently&#參玖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&#參玖s girlfriend Susan. Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently&#參玖s Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams&#參玖s chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes. Mangan said: "I&#參玖ve been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker&#參玖s radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It&#參玖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 &#參玖lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable&#參玖. I&#參玖ve absolutely no idea why they thought I&#參玖d be right for the role." The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 肆 series but have never before been filmed for TV. Adams&#參玖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&#參玖t get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk. "Douglas once said, memorably, that &#參玖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&#參玖. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn&#參玖t live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it&#參玖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 陸零-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 BBC肆 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.全能侦探完整版在线观看 – berenikakowalska.com 超清不卡顿
