In My Name is Sergeant Bergerac somebody is posing as our hero detective, it turns out to be israeli forger turned wannabe private detective Shlomo Denkovitz. He is working for his uncle who in turn is helping a friend of his who has been had over by a conman believed to be on the island. Meanwhile a supergrass, Dennis Swain and his partner, are also after Denkowitz because he is supposed to be providing them with new fake passports but has lost them.

There is choas at the Bureau as the mainland Drug Squad and Customs arrive en masse as part of Operation Porpoise, a major drugs sting being planned between Jersey and the mainland.

It’s a real comedy of errors episode truth be told, Tony Robinson is the real highlight. It’s another excellent line up of guest stars though, Derren Nesbitt of Special Branch fame plays supergrass Swain, The already mentioned Robinson, complete with extravagant hair do, is the dodgy Denkowitz, John Bluthal is his uncle Barry Jackson (who would become a Midsomer Murders regular with Nettles) is the head of the drug squad. Sue Lloyd makes her second Bergerac appearance, along, this time, with real life husband Ronald Allen aka Crossroads icon David Hunter.
