日９（TBS)「官僚たちの夏」
２００９年７月日（日）夜９：００スタート
佐藤浩市新剧出演官僚
18日TBS电视台宣布，将由佐藤浩市主演由经济小说家城山三郎著名小说《官僚们的夏天》改编的电视剧。该剧将在7月9点档播出。
本书曾在《周刊朝日》上连载，1975年出版为书。佐藤饰演的是怀有强烈责任感要将战后日本重建起来的通产事务次官，风越信吾。佐藤说：“这部剧是近10年20年来没有过的好企划。一定要做成当今电视业界独树一派的电视剧。我自己也觉得很有挑战价值。”
由于日本省厅改革，导致现在一般民众对高级官僚的印象极为恶劣。
制作人伊佐野英树因此决定拍摄这样一部剧：“希望观众们能够看看，将原本毫无国际竞争力的汽车电器产业引领向现在水平的男人们，是如何努力的。希望大家都能够看到他们值得骄傲的工作。”佐藤也十分热血的说：“在他们身上有种现在的‘草食男子’所不具备的男子气概。”
一同出演的还有北大路欣也、界雅人、高桥克实、高桥克典等，全是40岁以上的实力派演员。TBS的干部称：“希望观众们在周日晚受到激励，然后带着满腔热情迎接周一开始的工作。”
