 Bergerac Series 7.

I remain a staunch fan of beloved Jersey-set 80s cop classic Bergerac, and I recently picked-up a copy of series 7, which provided many thrillingly convoluted cases for the handsome copper to crack. I found the cracking episode, 'Trenchard's Last Case' to be an especially worthy example of high quality telly-making. It's relatively rare for latter-day instalments of popular Policier serials to maintain integrity to the end, but Bergerac is one of the few able to do so. The lively characters, engaging stories, and a more than compelling lead have made Bergerac a genuinely glistering jewel in the BBC's often tarnished crown.
