However, this is the only DVD release of Bergerac series 1, and I wanted the series. So I was in a quandary, and ended up buying the discs. I write this now to help anyone else with similar uncertainties and concerns about the quality of these DVDs.As for the episodes having been edited and cut by up to ten minutes each. Yes, this is true, but unless someone is very familiar with the original versions, I doubt they would spot the cuts (I certainly can't), and the edits don't spoil or interfere with the plot, etc.As for the video quality being poor... well, generally the quality is fine, and perfectly watchable, taking into account the age of the material. The problem is that everything is very dark. I found that turning up the brightness on my TV, and adjusting the contrast, gives an acceptable (but not brilliant) picture, but it's disappointing they didn't address this when mastering the DVDs.On a positive note, the soundtrack seems in fine condition, and is pleasantly noise and crackle free.In summary: if your objective is to enjoy (re-)watching Bergerac's early episodes, and you can tolerate the dark video, then you'll be happy with these DVDs. If your objective is to own perfect DVDs, then you'll be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars JERSEY JIM BERGERAC IS HERE AT LAST ON DVD !. *by N***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 September 2006* Finally this brilliant detective series comes to dvd with John Nettles set on Jersey. The plots are well written and the stories are also well acted which is rare for a cop show. Being set on the lovely island of Jersey in the 1980's also helps the show. The episodes are edited here to 40 mins when they should run to 50 for some very odd reason. But my major concern is that the transfers are poor with a grainy picture and. Worst of all there are no chapter points so unless you put the disc on pause. If you have to leave the TV you are put back to the main menu ! this effects all issues of this series. So despite this being a brilliant series I have to give this only 3 stars !. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Let's be positive *by K***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 August 2006* Dear readers,Although I am sorry to read the previous reviews, it was so long ago for me in Holland seeing the original versions, that I did not at all notice the cuttings. I am very much delighted that the series is finaly being put on DVD, and I think it is a very nice set. I very much hope that all fans will keep buying all seasons being released, so that the BBC does not decide to stop releasing more recent seasons if sales should be low. I rather have cut versions than no DVD's at all. Small negative feedback from me is the glueing of the box that doesn't stick. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/117352712-bergerac-series-1-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/117352712-bergerac-series-1-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
