Brilliant series, I was married at the time to a girl from Jersey which we used to visit several times a year to see her parents, old school friends etc. We would watch the episodes and spot where the various scenes were filmed. Was at a summer fete on the island and John Nettles was booked to open it, he turned up driving that maroon coloured sports car, nice bloke, I believed he lived on Jersey for some years.
This man is gorgeous. It was such a shame to find out he was only a character in a show. I only found out at the weekend, when I unashamedly broke down in Waitrose by the Easter eggs. Matters were not helped by the laughing lady beside me, and my hunger for easter eggs turned into anger for women.
@mokacode A little ignorance here; I don't know where you are from but English people do not hate French people (any more than any other foreigners). Are you aware that Bergerac is not meant to be an Englishman? He is a Channel Islander, hence the hybrid English/French name.
haha....that was an old comment of mine....don't make a fuss...I just felt like teasing.I'm french born and and I'm not set against english people... quite the contrary....
I'm quite friendly with John, we did a bit of work together on midsomer murders last june and have kept in touch since. At a christmas party he'd invited me to, i showed him this great clip.
He emailed me out of the blue recently and mentioned that he watches this clip sometimes up to twice a day, more when his wife's away! Isn't he adorable!
I fucking love Bergerac.
p.s Doesn't the photo of John at 1:58/1:59 look the last taken of him before the cruel sea took him away?
I LOVE THIS!!!! LOVE the tune. Bergerac my fave programme ever. Im off to sit in his car again when i go to jersey on october.Whats your fave episode or series?
Thanks. That'll be so cool to get to sit in his car. I have several favourite episodes and even more favourite moments, but my favourite is probably Ninety Per Cent Proof (series 3). Not sure about a fav series though, I like episodes from them all. You?
90% proof is probably the best ever episode,excellent story but man of sorrows is a fave of mine to that and the one about the nazi hunter but the again trenchards last case,so many...
@BBERGERACC My favourite episode is The Assassin too!
It would be good, when John Nettles finishes making Midsomer Murders for ITV, if he skipped over to the BBC, to make one last feature episode of Bergerac!!!!!!!!!!
@BBERGERACC i believe they are both John Fletcher episodes. I've not seen 'assasin' but 'a man of sorrows' is brilliant as was his 'Avenge O Lord'. I don't think Fletcher even has a wiki page but he did some super episodes. Wow a sort of Bergerac night on BBC4 this Monday I believe. Only got series 1,2 and 4 so i cant say but my fave's would include 'a man of sorrows', lots of other favorites such as 'a miracle every week' and so many others, really super.
Aahh. I love this show. I started watching it when I was 12. Conveniently, I lived by the beach then, so I got to play "Bergerac and villains" with friends. Kudos to BBC for releasing the dvds, even if some of the episodes are edited like crazy. I've the first 5 series, and ordered the next 2. Can't wait for them to arrive! Anyways, nice video, are the merch. yours? And hey, why no pic of Phillipa Vale?
Thanks, I'm collecting the dvds as well. It really is an excellent series. The pictures are from google when you type in Bergerac, so I guess that Phillippa Vale never appeared in the search which is why she isn't here. If I make another tribute, then she will deinately be included in it.
