Bergerac: John Nettles to be replaced by The Split actor in re-imagined series


Jim Bergerac is returning to our screens more than 30 years after the show last aired, and The Split's Damien Molony takes John Nettles' role.

John Nettles has left an incredible legacy with big shoes to fill, and I hope I can bring a fresh new take on this iconic character. “The modern re-imagining of Bergerac presents an opportunity to celebrate the show’s legacy in Jersey, whilst reaching a new generation of fans who will be eager to ‘set jet’ to the featured locations. “We look forward to working with UKTV, Banijay UK, and BlackLight TV to showcase Jersey’s unique charm and picturesque landscapes through the lens of this beloved show in a fresh, contemporary way.”
