BERGERAC IS BACK is the same book, reissued in a later edition with a new title (note that it uses a variant version of the same graphic; all the reissued BERGERAC editions use the same respective photos as their first editions).<br /><br />And there is an earlier title than these, titled simply BERGERAC (1982, BBC Books in the UK, St. Martin's in the US) which is also comprised of teleplay adaptations. That one is by Michael Hardwick.Pelaphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10525399094995683291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-22161998195159521412010-11-13T10:43:43.788+10:302010-11-13T10:43:43.788+10:3087 episodes?

They are good, and Bergerac looked gorgeous, but the series is more action-ridden than the cosy Midsomer series.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-45796555016517028402010-11-11T20:07:33.026+10:302010-11-11T20:07:33.026+10:30The Bergerac series was one of my mum's favour...The Bergerac series was one of my mum's favourites so I've seen them all - one of the reasons she doesn't like Midsomer Murders is that she still thinks of John Nettles as BergeracBernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-13701085111312340782010-11-11T20:03:24.730+10:302010-11-11T20:03:24.730+10:30Thanks for that Kathy.

Don't have specifics, but welcome new aspects.<br /><br />It's been great, not only expanded my reading horizons and enjoyment, but it's been educational as well. All good.kathy d.noreply@blogger.com
