''Bergerac'' is a British television show set in Jersey. Produced by the BBC in association with the Seven Network, and first screened on BBC1, it starred John Nettles as the title character Detective Sergeant Jim Bergerac, a detective in Le Bureau des Étrangers ("The Foreigners' Office", a fictional department dealing with non-Jersey residents), part of the States of Jersey Police.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bergerac set for a come back 20 years on? )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC News - Bergerac return 'a boost' )〕 ==Background== The series ran from 1981 to 1991. It was created by producer Robert Banks Stewart after another of his popular detective series ''Shoestring,'' starring Trevor Eve, came to an abrupt end.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Banks Stewart on creating Charles Endell, Esquire )〕 Like ''Shoestring'', the series begins with a man returning to work after a particularly bad period in his life: Eddie Shoestring from a nervous breakdown; Jim Bergerac from alcoholism and a broken leg. ''Bergerac'' sometimes dealt with controversial topics – for example when an old man was unmasked as a Nazi war criminal his age raised various moral dilemmas. Supernatural elements occasionally appeared in the series, and some episodes ended with unpleasant twists, as in "Offshore Trades" and "A Hole In The Bucket". The evocative theme tune, composed by George Fenton, featured a reggae and accordion refrain. The final episode filmed was the 1991 Christmas Special titled "All for Love", set partly in Bath. The final scene provided a strong hint about Bergerac's future, after Charlie Hungerford recommended Bergerac for a new position heading up the Bureau des Étrangers rolled out across the Channel Islands following its success in Jersey. The show is repeated on channels such as Alibi, RTE and Drama. On 24 February 2014 the BBC started a rerun of the series on daytime afternoons on BBC2.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC News - Bergerac rerun postponed owing to abuse inquiry )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bergerac (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
