    SunnyHello Nice effects though.
    Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
    Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
    Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
    Parker Lewis John Nettles has had an outstanding career, and he was impressive in Bergerac and of course later on in Midsomer Murders. I loved the opening theme, the location, and of course John and the rest of the cast. Bergerac deserves a reboot and maybe John can make a cameo, especially with Brexit and the impact on Bergerac.
    matthew-58 Bergerac established John Nettles as one of the most famous television actors in the 1980s, something that he has continued to this day, although more recently in the considerably more pedestrian Midsomer Murders.Bergarac certainly benefited from some excellent input from a remarkably broad range of quality TV figures like Robert Banks Stewart, Robert Holmes, Tristan DeVere Cole, Chris Boucher, Dennis Spooner, Tony Dow, Matthew Robinson, Bob Baker and Geoffrey Sax etc, and location filming on Jersey was regarded as rather exotic at the time.I think I ought to correct Scooby-57's comment that this show made Louise Jameson famous. She was already very famous from her regular role in Doctor Who when the show regularly attracted about 13 million viewers and also her role in Tenko.
    gharedsu Bergerac is one of the few shows which, on many occasions, had unique plots or plots that had unique twists. It resisted the temptation to jump on any particular bandwagon. The 'hero', Bergerac, was neither hero nor the still-popular anti-hero. The writers often back-referenced with regard to the ongoing arc which took Bergerac from recovering alcoholic to lucky in love, unlucky in love, lucky in his job, unlucky in his job, and eventually back to the bottle again, without twisting him out of character to do it.In my opinion, this show still stands the test of time and is more watchable than too many of the newer shows on TV today.
    Theo Robertson BERGERAC certainly has high production values but to have a detective series set on Jersey ( Pop 60, 000 ) where in real life a bike being stolen or a pub brawl makes the front page of the local newspaper seems somewhat silly . Week in week out Jim Bergerac has to deal with jewel heists , drug dealers , murderers , and international terrorists ! . Worse than that each episode seems to have a bigger body count than the average episode of MIAMI VICE . Perhaps the show should have concentrated more on comedic episodes like the one with Norman Wisdom who is mugged on the island and claims he was a servant to the Royal family , only he`s not and the episode revolves around his lie not being found out
