Bergerac

[laughs]

Do you know what Bergerac is?

Do you remember Jimmy Hill as a pundit? Okay, we move on to Hansen and Lawrenson.

[laughs]

this isn't she

she worked a lot that's yes one of my takeaways from today's episode how well in terms of her i didn't know that she started a career in australia that's that's a new one on me so her family moved to australia and she was in skippy she was in a tv series called homicide which featured as one of the regular characters terence donovan who's obviously just died terry donovan and then she moved over here but yeah she worked a lot through the Well, 70s, 80s and 90s, Bergerac.

I mean, I remember from the main thing, two main things I remember from three, including Bergerac, because that was always on in the background when I was a kid.

Give us a clue.

Yes.

So a new one popped up and I was super excited.

It's called Bergerac.

Now it is a reboot of a 1980s show.

You know, it's a detective show that ran for nine seasons and it's based on the Island of Jersey.

Now, a lot of people don't know what that is.

The Island of Jersey is, I believe it's in the English channel.

It's 85 miles off the coast of Britain, 14 miles off the coast of France and but they govern themselves although they are under where the British will defend them if anything happens although they didn't technically defend them in World War II that's a whole other story but it's I was really hoping for you know I always say what's great about British shows is the scenery it's as much an actor in it as everything they need to do a little bit more of the scenery so I had not seen the original Bergerac I'm going to go back and see it what people are saying the difference is The original guy was more of a charming alcoholic.

That's what we like to portray in the 1980s.

and instead of john nettles because he's like 80 or whatever they got this new guy and made bergerac like a real troubled guy don't

know what that is

he's a detective on the island of jersey in the channel islands oh you should know bergerac I'm a big Bergerac fan.

But they made Bergerac a tortured guide.

You can't be tortured on the island of Jersey and the Charmer Islands because there's ocean everywhere.

And fudge.
