Bergerac (TV series) Bergerac (TV series) Bergerac is a British television series set in Jersey, which ran from 18 October 1981 to 26 December 1991. Produced by the BBC in association with the Seven Network, and first screened on BBC1, it starred John Nettles as the title character Jim Bergerac, who initially is a detective sergeant in Le Bureau des Étrangers ("The Foreigners' Office", a fictional department dealing with non-Jersey residents), within the States of Jersey Police, but later left the force and became a private investigator. The series ran from 1981 to 1991. It was created by producer Robert Banks Stewart after
Bergerac (TV series) fame. These include Julian Glover, Connie Booth, Ray Winstone, Prunella Scales, Louise Lombard, Ronald Pickup, Norman Wisdom, Charles Gray, John Forgeham, Bernard Hepton and Steve McFadden. The series played heavily on its Jersey location and its supposed Frenchness. The early storylines were usually in and around Jersey, with short scenes shot in England and France. In later episodes the action strayed further away from Jersey, and was increasingly based in France. As Jersey is a small island (nine miles long by five miles wide), most of the filming locations there can be tracked down with ease. Jim Bergerac and Susan
