Louis Frank Marks (23 March 1928〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2010/oct/07/louis-marks-obituary〕 – 17 September 2010) was a British script writer and producer mainly for the BBC. He attended Balliol College, Oxford and graduated with a DPhil. He made the surprising choice to become a writer. He began by contributing to ''The Adventures of Robin Hood'' in 1959 and continued to write and work in television into the new century, an exceptional record in modern television. His early work was as a writer. His scripts included ''The Man Who Finally Died'' (1967) for the BBC and ''Special Branch'' for Thames Television (1970). He also wrote for ''Danger Man'' with Patrick McGoohan, and for the ''Doomwatch'' science fiction series and for ''Doctor Who'' on four occasions. The first of these, "Planet of Giants", opened the second season of the programme in 1964. His second script was "Day of the Daleks" in 1972 and as originally written, the serial revolved around the Ogrons instead of the Daleks. During the Tom Baker years he wrote the "Jekyll and Hyde" script for "Planet of Evil"; and then "The Masque of Mandragora", which was perhaps his most unusual script for ''Doctor Who'' and drew on his academic background and studies in Renaissance Italy. He also served as a script editor on programmes such as ''Bedtime Stories'' (1974); ''The Stone Tape'' (1972); and ''No Exit'' (1972). Marks' producer credits include ''The Lost Boys'' (1978), ''Fearless Frank'' (1979), the BBC's adaptation of the Three Theban plays (between 1984 and 1986), and the BBC's adaptation of George Eliot's ''Middlemarch'' (1994). He worked with Jack Clayton on an adaption of Muriel Spark's ''Memento Mori'' in 1991, Harold Pinter on ''The Hothouse'' 1987 and with Mike Leigh on ''Grown-Ups'' 1982. His most recent critical success was his production of ''Daniel Deronda'' by George Eliot for the BBC in 2002. He has worked with distinguished actors including Anthony Hopkins, Claire Bloom, John Gielgud, Nigel Hawthorne, Michael Gambon, Judi Dench and Ben Kingsley on the adaptation of another George Eliot work ''Silas Marner'' in 1986. Marks died on 17 September 2010.〔http://www.atvnewsnetwork.co.uk/today/index.php/atv-today/4062-writer-and-producer-louis-marks-dies〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Marks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
