''The Fast Lane'' is an Australian television show that aired between 1985 and 1987 on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Fast Lane on IMDB )〕 It was created by John Clarke and Andrew Knight and starred Terry Bader, Richard Healy, Debra Lawrance and Peter Hosking. According to Debra Lawrance on The Conversation Hour in ABC 774 radio 15 October 2015, the ABC taped over the master tapes. == Plot Overview == This comedy series follows two private investigators, Bryce (Terry Bader) and Ken (Richard Healy), who run a firm known as the ''Excellsior Research Foundation''. They are assisted by Pat (Debra Lawrence), their receptionist. Bryce thinks he is the smartest and boasts about his elite private school background, but is actually very stupid and fails to understand what is really happening around him. Ken is the down to earth blue collar member of the team, but they both usually get into deep trouble. Pat is the sensible and smart one, but the others don't recognise this. She and Detective Sergeant Blair (Peter Hosking) usually rescues them and cleans up after them. The plots are a black comedy and satire. The agency is desperate for work and usually take on a small case involving simple detective work (e.g. domestic disputes). Bryce and Ken stumble around trying to solve it - mostly because of Bryce taking the obviously wrong approach - and getting deeper into trouble. Meanwhile Pat does the real detective work and uncovers a bigger crime that is linked to the small case (e.g. corporate crime). Although Pat discovers the real criminals, they escape prosecution because of loopholes in the law or they are too powerful to touch. In the end, the simple case is wrapped up and Bryce undeservedly takes the credit for it. But the audience and Pat realise the injustice, because the wrapup resulted in the innocent becoming the victim and the real criminals getting way with it. 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「The Fast Lane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
