BBC Archive | 1988: BERGERAC - Behind the Scenes and JOHN NETTLES Q&A | Open Air | The Making Of... | BBC Archive @BBCArchive | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Bob Wellings went behind the scenes on Bergerac as they filmed the 1987 Boxing Day special.

With the popular show entering its sixth series, the entire Open Air programme was coming live from Jersey, and there were plenty of questions for Detective Sergeant Jim Bergerac himself (John Nettles) from near and far in the phone-in hosted by Eamon Holmes.

The phone-in also had one or two technical difficulties, as you will doubtless be able to discern (poor Pat in Newcastle!), but we have retained the audio as it was broadcast.

There were also plenty of questions for the new controller of BBC One, Jonathan Powell.
