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.
最后，为了天海佑希看的这部片，竟然还默默埋着她在宝冢演男役的梗，而这个帅女子，真是把“人妻”演出了上下铺兄弟的感觉[破涕为笑]。电影最后，后藤夫妇搬进了共享公寓解决了养老问题，忽而想起天海佑希说自己不愿结婚的原因是不喜欢家里有别人……所以说，喜欢独立空间的人还是要努力挣钱
生活必定各种沉重，何不开心面对？女主这次感觉很到位，挺适合她的角色，苦苦的脸，略带忧郁的眼神、妆容，适合！哈哈哈，妈妈演的真好啊。合租房养老模式，不知道会怎样？期待一下。糟心的岁月，可爱的一家人。
看看别人家的propaganda怎么做的..."但凡你们宣传部门用点心,还怕社保和养老金亏空?"...
但女王和五郎意外很有cp感！他俩太可爱了！
没头感觉到温馨，也没有被笑到。没有钱，也从来没想过攒钱，就这么解决了问题。
真实又有趣，剧情稀碎主要还是靠演技，最后原来是让以房养老
7分吧。全靠演员撑，剧情其实没啥说的，只讨论了要花的钱多，没讨论造成的原因和影响，嘻嘻哈哈就把剧演完了。松重丰配角，老太演的不错不过女扮男装真拖戏，好在天海调侃了宝冢，有些梗。群租房转折太硬。
后半部强行扭转变得无聊了，前面看的很现实很压抑啊，最后的结局不能接受，现实中群租是不行的
日本是个高龄化严重的国家，这部电影反映中年人对于养老的恐慌，上有父母，下有儿女，日常花销，中年就业，无一不是压力。能拍的跳动，有朝气也是不错了。我国上调了退休年龄，十几年后我们的问题会和日本一样突出。题外话，能娶到这样的老婆太幸福了。女儿任性的未婚先孕，儿子搬出家的任性，同事任性的辞职，婆婆任性的生活，反观儿媳真的太辛苦了。任性点！希望我们都可以任性点。
因为有历代宝塚撑场所以跟原著比起来有了更轻松的氛围结尾也更美化，仿佛粉丝福利一般：）
这是日本的现实，可能也是中国即将的现实，值得深思。
4. 子女都愿意赡养老人的
还是女人懂女人
看过觉得有意外之喜,之前总认为日本电影缺乏幽默感,或是由于文化差异,自己很难get到日本人的笑点,这部电影却让我几乎从头笑到尾,全程高能,欲望膨胀却囊中羞涩,想要省钱结果却频遭变故,品质优雅面子最后都在现实中变成了快乐,无奈中却满满的温馨,让人忍俊不禁.
虽然偏漫画风格的开端和穿插不是很喜欢，不过还是很爱这种节奏和后来高能的“大泉健三骗取养老金案”，犊子两口子人性相当好，丈夫对家庭的“四个意识”都很强，婆婆虽然不是省油的灯，不过也不属于作妖派的，最后的寿宴装扮气质连它们的徳仁皇后雅子和明仁上皇后美智子都达不到呢，还得是戏骨出马才能撑起那不错国的尊严。
没有养老金生前办葬礼，卖了车与房幸福合租屋。
还不错的喜剧，天海祐希就是一束光，自然的美，再俗套的剧本都会因为她而不同，宝冢梗她自己说出来也真的很好笑，还有骗钱那段也超好笑，阿妈咪桑喜剧天赋已经点满了。
養老沒有一定要4000萬日元 也可以有不同的方式 比如合租生活 但中間兒媳和婆婆的摩擦仿佛是另一個故事..
看完觉得自己要好好存钱了。share house模式并不让人感冒
这也没有借鉴的余地呀，就咱这医疗和养老状况。日本至少医疗和工作平等性方面还有得权衡。
