Bergerac: Offshore Trades (BBC-1 18 Oct 1985, with Ian McCulloch)

Published

on


In Offshore Trades Jim investigates when a scuba diver is found dead on the beach, he didn’t drown though – he suffocated. Meanwhile his old French colleague Inspector Dupont (who doesn’t actually appear) has asked Jim and the Bureau to help track down a famous actress who has gone missing and might be on Jersey. Dive shop owner Walt Mitchell seems to be the link between the two cases.

The excellent Ian McCulloch has the main guest star role as Walt, complete with very dodgy Australian accent, we know he’s Australian because he calls Jim “sport” but his accent veers from Ocker to South African to his native Scottish.

Jim is now sleeping with Susan and they are already talking about moving in together – the production team must have lost the use of Jim’s cottage as it hasn’t been seen and Jim is talking of needing somewhere else to live. In another change their is a new pathologist in the shape of the arrogant Dr Rogers.

Charlie is also now even more involved with the Bureau and Jim as he has been made head of the island’s Law and Order Committee.
