Question 1

How much did the Government or a Government Department (e.g. Visit Jersey) contribute towards the production of the new Bergerac tv series released in the past 2 weeks?

Question 2 

Did the Government or a Government Department (e.g. Visit Jersey) contribute financially towards the recent "Red Carpet" showing of the 2025 Bergerac series at the cinema and if a contribution was made what was the monetary value?

​Question 3

Deputy Morel said that the Island would profit from the Government investment in the new Bergerac series. I believe the rights to the series have been sold to a number of European countries and Australia. Has the Government received any money from these distribution right sales or any other revenue from its investment in the 2025 Bergerac series?
