freeOK概要：Stephen Mangan, the lead actor of "Green Wings and Free Agents," will play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of his old self, Douglas Adams and Dirk Gentley's "The Complete Detective Agency. Mangan will be played by Darren Boyd as his partner Richard McDuff, and "Cold Feet and Friends" actress Helen Bucksdale as McDuff's girlfriend Susan. Adapted by British Academy Film Award winner Howard Overman, who was also behind "Misfits," "Vexed," and "Merlin," Dirk Gentley's "The Whole Detective Agency" tells the story of Adams' chaotic personality as he uses his unconventional methods to solve cases. Mangan said, '; I have been a fan of Douglas Adams since I recorded and repeatedly listened to his radio series in my bedroom when I was a child. It's so exciting to play one of his outstanding roles now. Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a completely unique perspective on the world. He is described as' lazy, untidy, dismissive, and unreliable '. I have no idea why they think I am suitable for this role. Dirk Gently's book forms the basis for a drama and BBC Radio 4 series, but it has never been filmed on television before. Adam's agent Ed Victor said:; For many years, I have been representing the late great Douglas Adams. The most frustrating thing for both of us is that we were unable to make the movies' The Wanderer 'or' Dirk '& quot； Douglas once said, 'Making a movie in Hollywood is like having a group of people walk into a room and breathe on a steak to cook it.'. Well, we ended up making a movie about 'The Wanderer' in Hollywood, unfortunately Douglas didn't live to see it. He also won't see this film adapted from 'Dirk' - but it's worth remembering that Douglas has always believed that 'Dirk' would be better made than 'Hitchhiker', and I believe this new TV series written by Howard Overman will prove his point. 'This 60 minute TV series will start filming in Bristol this week, co produced by ITV Studios and Welded Tandem Picture Company. The production of' Dirk Gentle 'will be directed by Damon Thomas, who also directed the BBC4 TV series' The First Man on the Moon' and will air early next year. '.
