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.
精神可嘉！值得铭记！虽然修复的一般，但看电影看的不光是画面，更重要的是情感表达。最后一句台词瞬间破防！“永别了…”
老革命李侠同志携手家人在上海为组织发送情报的故事！
很有名的片子。“1938年，我地下党组织在上海的电台被敌人破坏后，延安解放区电台政委李侠（孙道临）来到上海，白天他是一名商人，晚上则躲在阁楼间收发电报，为了进一步做好保密工作，党组织同时安排纱厂女工何兰芳（袁霞）与他假扮成夫妻。两人在工作中产生真情，结为真夫妻。”
突出革命主题，弱化了爱情，孩子从垃圾堆里捡来的。
真是一波三折。最后一句“我想念你们”，党员也有了人性。
最后泪目了，他们牺牲了，但是他们是永不消逝的电波，一直活在我们心中，当时历史条件下，他们内心对祖国那份坚定真的是如磐石一般
如坐针毡。明显不符合现代人审美的影片，何必费心思修复重映。
跳跃性如此之大的故事……而且感觉完全是不必要的牺牲啊……
片子意外的成熟好看！还是比较介意现在的状态吧。“什么事都不相信，什么话也听不进，只是漫～不经心。”hhh
演员们的表演和说话方式会容易让人出戏，但也不会是冲着表演来看的哇~那个绿色衣服的胖孩儿真的太可爱了，电影里的爹妈不管谁抱他，都拿他的大脸往人肩膀上贴贴
“同志们，永别了，我想念你们”向牺牲在共和国成立前夜的烈士致敬
永远缅怀李白烈士；电报声的运用串联了银幕里的空间，其他表现手法其实中规中矩，但是李侠的人物形象是稳定的，也许也是因为他符合人们心中对共产主义革命者的想象。
孙道临演得真好，现在有些小鲜肉的演技连那些老演员的脚趾头都比不上。
胜利在望却死在黎明到来前的夜晚，人生真是不可预料。
总体结构粗枝大叶，有点像对考点阳翰笙的描述。声音、表演等细节有不少不错的
如坐针毡。明显不符合现代人审美的影片，何必费心思修复重映。
一个明显的例子是，导演王苹通过几组很巧妙的镜头切换，让纯粹的镜头更像是有意识的镜头语言。比如何兰芬搓洗衣服，搓衣板上从没泡沫变成有泡沫，当镜头再度切到何兰芬身上，她的发式和衣着都有了变化，原来这中间已经隔了不少时日。
“同志们，永别了，我想念你们！”李白烈士，出身贫苦，参加红军，走过长征，文化基础薄弱，但勤奋好学，最终成为了优秀的发报员，抗战时期被派往上海工作，和工厂女工裘慧英结为假夫妻，日久生情，结为伉俪，生有一子，两度被捕，前一次经营救出狱，后一次没有活着出来，被杀于上海解放前20天，终年39。上海解放后，寻出烈士牺牲地，敛尸重埋于龙华。现墓存于上海龙华烈士陵园。ps，有信仰，是最幸福的事！孙道临的声音真是好听！
到底谁帮谁适应环境呀，组织那时候还管发对象的。蛋糕应该吃一块的，不然多假啊，为啥不租个顶层带阁楼的屋子。最大的疑问点，为什么不在家里弄呢?方便逃窜吗？或者只有在高处才能发电报?这么绝密的情报就登报了，组织没有保护好地下工作者啊。最后这反派听出来是李侠真的有一种奇怪的CP感。看完了，情节曲折，节奏明快，人物形象伟光正，还是不错的，发现老电影的转场是各种牛批。最后，向革命先烈们致敬!
现代谍战片的师祖，无数桥段被反复致敬模仿，但从未被超越。
