Is Bergerac back? Jersey set to have a starring role again as hit 1980s TV detective show gets a reboot with filming expected to start as early as this summer


Poldark actor Aidan Turner, Doctor Who star David Tennant and Happy Valley 's James Norton are in the frame for the title role as Bergerac.

'That is perfect timing for the Bergerac negotiations, because Visit Jersey saw a huge increase in the number of queries and website hits. If the project is approved, the series would be the latest in a long line of classic TV shows to make a return to television. Those close to the new production hope the show will rival the success of the BBC's Death In Paradise, which also charts the adventures of a detective on a sun-kissed island.
