Bergerac (/ˈbɜːrʒəræk/ BUR-zhə-rak) is a British crime drama television series.[1] Set in Jersey, it ran from 18 October 1981 to 26 December 1991. Produced by the BBC in association with the Australian Seven Network, and first screened on BBC1, it stars John Nettles as the title character Jim Bergerac, who is initially 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 leaves the force and becomes a private investigator.[2][3]

Westward Studios executive producer Brian Constantine has said that a Bergerac reboot was in the final stages of development, and will air in 2025.[4]
