Crowds gathered outside of Cineworld to welcome the cast and crew of the new Bergerac series to Jersey yesterday for the première of the reimagined detective series.
The red carpet event gave islanders the opportunity to meet and greet celebrity cast members including Damien Molony, who stars in the new TV drama as the infamous Jim Bergerac.
Other cast members in attendance included Philip Glenister, Celine Arden, Pippa Haywood, Ayesha Antoine as well as Jersey born actor Timothy Renouf.
Directed by Peaky Blinders director Colm McCarthy, the new six-episode series is set to offer a “contemporary twist” on the popular detective drama created by Robert Banks Stewart, which starred John Nettles and ran on the BBC between 1981 and 1991.
Unlike the original series, which featured weekly mysteries, the new Bergerac focuses on one complex murder investigation spread across all six episodes.
The series will air on 27 February 2025 on U and U&DRAMA.
