Bergerac's second series to stream next month
Max Burnett/UKTVThe second series of Jersey's TV detective Bergerac will be available to stream in April.
The UKTV show which stars Damien Molony, as Jim Bergerac is filmed on Jersey and premiered at Jersey Opera House on Monday.
Old and new cast members, including Adrian Edmondson who plays a love interest of Zoe Wanamaker - Bergerac's mother-in-law Charlie Hungerford - and Chloe Sweetlove, who plays Bergerac's daughter Kim, took to the red carpet at the event.
Viewers can catch the show on U and U&DRAMA from Thursday 16 April.
The programme's makers said Bergerac is "facing the most challenging case of his career" when the groom at a wedding reception is found murdered in his hotel room.
The show picks up 18 months after series one and the detective has also started tentatively dating after his wife's death.
Molony said the second series of six hour long episodes is "not so much gloom and doom".
He said the island also plays a starring role in the drama and opens with a drone's eye view of Gorey Harbour which "just shows the beauty, just the natural beauty of Jersey off in such a brilliant way."
John Nettles was the original Bergerac in the series which ran on the BBC from 1981 to 1991.
He went onto to star as another TV detective Tom Barnaby in the long-running Midsomer Murders series.
He was offered a cameo in the first series of the remake of Bergerac but said he was "too old" and would "just get in the way".
