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.
全片实在是很没营养 但是也太可爱了吧这两口子吵吵闹闹完全看不厌啊 会和Spider-Man来个crush吗（x
屠杀挂了么？警察最后是什么鬼？最后彩蛋是啥意思？
guru导演不咋地…加入Woody大反派也救不了难看…咬一口就生了个儿子还强得一批是何道理…全场听着胖得不像样的Tom Hardy和Venom小两口拌嘴，比较不讨喜…
只能说是一部合格的漫威娱乐电影，我是看完了蜘蛛侠英雄无归之后才看的，没想到最后的彩蛋竟然还有小蜘蛛侠。。故事的梗概基本上和第一部没有什么太大差异，只不过这一部是毒液的儿子偷偷跑出来感染坏人，跟老爸做对的故事，最后肯定是儿子不敌老爸，被老爸教训。被感染的坏人与女朋友看样子真的是真爱，都那样了还是不忘对方只身营救还不忘结婚。彩蛋还告诉我们，可能还有下一部，是来自毒液的母星的故事？？
好无聊啊！吐槽不够欢快密集，打斗一点也不刺激……汤老湿的魅力没法释放啊！
上一部本来故事就很蠢，但是靠着合体的奇妙化学反应撑起了全片。这一部两人的合体没有任何新意，甚至比上一部差太多，然后再套上一个观众起码已经看过十遍的故事，真是难看死了。

剧情敷衍，打斗也敷衍。人与人卖腐就算了，人与怪物之间也要卖腐这真是.....导演适合演怪物，不适合拍怪物
看笑了，到底是如何写出这种情节像是学龄前、内核闻起来却像三十年老腐尸味道的剧本。毒液和男主反复争论吃的相处模式实在味同嚼蜡令人煎熬；反派疯批情侣的模式早已过时，只在承袭旧时代影视作品对精神病患者的刻板印象和邪恶暗示；投其所好地大力卖腐，却把同志作为娱乐符号来消费，甚至卖腐的同时还不自觉地嘲笑了一下平权人士。就是这样把观众当白痴的电影，竟也没有影评人让它退休。
2.0。毒液vs屠杀，最大的亮点竟然来自蜘蛛侠彩蛋，毒液加入漫威平行宇宙。
我以为是我口味刁钻，但重看第一集发现确实质量下滑严重，被人咬一口还咬出个儿子来就离谱，全片不及彩蛋。
杂碎又极其扁平的剧本，所有的一切几乎是不堪入目的愚蠢与烂俗，看完之后你会觉得八十分钟的正片完全是在为最后的彩蛋做铺垫，所以为了让毒液融入漫威主宇宙真的是有在费尽心思的敷衍。
该片讲述了外星共生体“毒液”与宿主埃迪遇上致命共生体“屠杀”，致命守护者和邪恶反派的宿命之战即将开始的故事。
继承了第1步的嘴炮，但是没有继承其他优点。故事也是炒冷饭和第1部都差不多，反派屠杀智商堪忧。片长也略短，感觉只是讲第1部没有讲完的故事。或者说应该是第1步的后半段剪辑出来的。直到看到片尾彩蛋哇才知道了这部影片的意义，小蜘蛛终于要现身了，是要和MCU对接了吗？
故事很仓促，结局无厘头，彩蛋是正片，看得出是赶鸭子上架的电影，希望它的牺牲可以带来更精彩的蜘蛛宇宙~！！！
2.5星。真的很普通啊，感觉连爆米花电影都算不上。
变种儿子从精子大小瞬间成长得比爸爸还牛，也是没谁了
主要是第一部就特别不喜欢预期拉得暴低，这一部冲伍迪哈里森的邪魅表演倒没觉得那么难看，反正就依然是预算有限不思进取继续挥霍设定的平庸续作呗，找了两个相互克制的反派也是挺迷的，结局也比较坑爹。。至于彩蛋，我只想说不要辜负大家的期待吧。
警察利物浦口音讲美音太可爱了。居然有二册，演路人甲神父
反派演技和魅力值没有跟上，人物关系狗血，剧情过于简单，整体甚至不如迷你剧质量，完全没有达到电影院爆米花英雄电影的级别，很同情刚上映时花了钱去电影院看的影迷。
