The Government of Jersey has been asked for £1.8m to fund a remake of BBC detective series Bergerac.

Based in and depicting Jersey, Bergerac aired from 1981 to 1991 - featuring John Nettles as detective Jim Bergerac.

It is hoped a remake of the hit series would attract more visitors to the island.

Robert Mackenzie, from the Channel Islands Travel Group, said: "I think any publicity of this type is to be welcomed.

"When a destination is featured in a drama programme, it does draw attention to it, it does raise interest in the destination, and I'm sure that as a result of Bergerac being re-filmed, it will attract more people to come to the island, I'm absolutely certain about that."

Chief Minister Lyndon Farnham said the investment was "being considered", but said he would need to go to the Council of Ministers on the matter.
