'Showcase Jersey'

Actor Damien Molony, from Ireland, best known for TV work including Being Human, Ripper Street and Suspects takes on the lead role of Jim Bergerac.

Ms Warwick said: "The modern re-imagining of Bergerac presents a fantastic opportunity to showcase Jersey on the global stage, connecting with devoted fans of the original series and a new generation of viewers eager to visit the locations featured in the show."
