The new Bergerac series premieres on streaming services U and U&Drama tonight.
Directed by Peaky Blinders director Colm McCarthy, the new six-episode series is set to offer a “contemporary twist” on the popular Jersey-based 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.
Damien Molony stars as Bergerac himself with Philip Glenister, Celine Arden, Pippa Haywood, Ayesha Antoine and Jersey born actor Timothy Renouf among the other cast members.
