MAVERICK DETECTIVE

Bergerac, 9am, 4pm, Drama

NOW, John Nettles (pictured) plays Ray Penvenen in Poldark; in the Eighties, he was DS Jim Bergerac, ladies’ man and recovering alcoholic. The show — devised in 1981 as a replacement for Trevor Eve’s Shoestring — ran for ten years, and begins a rerun from the start here.
