 BBC - h2g2 - 'Bergerac' - the TV Series
A whole generation of UK television viewers was weaned on the boyish good-looks of the protagonist, played by John Nettles; the waggish, eccentric playboy-millionaire lifestyle of that most loveable of rogues, Charlie Hungerford; and the other (less-important) things that other (less-important) people did throughout.
Some hard-bitten cynics have proposed that the fact that John Nettles's career has plummeted into obscurity, coupled with the fact that nobody even knows any more (or probably ever knew for that matter) the name of the actor who played Charlie, that this is undeniable proof of the utter worthlessness of the programme.
Jim Bergerac offered an alternative to the anti-heroism of the Starsky and Hutch-esque, macho cop of the early 1980s who resented authority and got the dirtiest jobs done by flaunting well-established police procedure, doling out unwarranted levels of violence and becoming unnecessarily confrontational with his superiors.

 AGWLBP Television
Stewart Parker’s work is characterised by a humane openness to change and accommodation, the reinvention of inherited cultural histories, particularly those of his native Northern Ireland.[34] His single most ambitious television project was a six-part thriller, Lost Belongings (1987), set in 1980 between Belfast and London, made for Euston Films and Channel Four.
It was made with a considerable budget as a prime-time television film for the ITV network (with repeat broadcast on Channel Four).
In an assessment of Troubles drama on television, the representation of loyalist paramilitaries, evangelist churches and Orange Order meetings is important to Parker, who observes of previous drama that ‘not only do you not see Protestant paramilitaries and their ideologies but you only see the IRA in stereotyped versions'.
