Jersey is stars alongside Damien Molony this week once again, as the detective drama returns to screens.

Series two of the murder mystery will be available to stream on Thursday (16 April) on U.

As well as some familiar characters, with Zoe Wanamaker returning as Jim's mother-in-law, there are also some new faces, including a love interest.

Channel 103 spoke to Jim Bergerac, Damien Molony, and his co-star Camilla Beeput, who plays love interest Nicola, when they were filming in the island last September.

Damien teased us with some information about episode one:

"I think it's a lovely, fun start to the series, there's a date that doesn't go well - not between us - and Camilla's character comes in to save the day, and I think Jim and Nicola are kindred spirits in a way.

"They're both recovering, witty, and hit the ground running."

Bergerac himself revealed that for this season's filming, he kept the murder a real-life mystery, unlike last year:

"I did find out (last year) because I know the actor who played the baddie, and he sent me a text saying 'Hey Mr Bergerac, I'm joining you on series one!' Really lovely guy.

"And then he sent a text straight away: I'm the killer! "

"I was livid!" he joked.

Of course, the recognisable face of the detective wouldn't be complete without the famous sunglasses, which Damien told us said he chose himself and was able to keep:

"Bergerac is dressed, but when it came to sunglasses, they said, ' Why don't you go and buy two or three pairs, and keep the receipt, and the ones we like we'll keep.'"

As well as familiar cast and crew, many islanders were able to get involved as extras and help on set.

All we can say is... look out for Peter Mac.
