Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC439;s adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently39;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 MacDuff39;s girlfriend Susan. Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently39;s Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams39;s chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes. Mangan said: "I39;ve been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker39;s radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It39;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 39;lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable39;. I39;ve absolutely no idea why they thought I39;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. Adams39;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 couldn39;t get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk. "Douglas once said, memorably, that 39;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 it39;. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn39;t live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it39;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.如果您喜欢网站名称（网站域名）分享的《全能侦探》，别忘了推荐给你的好友！
