The bays, the views, the history and much more besides. Introduced by television's John Nettles A Creative Channel Production 1994 Running time: 50 mins approx.
Tourism was destroyed from the 1970s because of cheap holidays in Southern Europe. It did pick up in 1980s due to the TV show Bergerac. I agree that tourism was down during the 90s. Tourism did pick during the post pandemic staycation.
I worked in corporate films around the same time this was made. They all has the same feel for some reason. How time flies, back in 1994 they would be thinking they were current.. almost 30 years later and they are distant history, for the most part.
During September and October Jersey has a restaurant festival called Tennerfest. Tennerfest is wher you can get a meal that you can get for £10 and sometimes £30 for a 3 course fine dining.
Bergerac ! Used to love it, but there were crooks on that programme , and sadly ( ! ) I’ve been a Tax Inspector for most of my working life, so I know ALL about Jersey as a Tax Haven and it’s Brass Plate companies !
@@GavTatu Oh, maybe tourists nowadays are more inclined to visit sunny places like Mallorca, Canary Islands, etc. instead of tourist destinations that are closer to home, don't you think?
@@ANtr431 possibly. things change. the tourist attractions we had have dwindled too. my son and DIL had a week in florida cos it was cheaper than a week in spain !
Oh how it's changed in 30 years. Alot of what this video advertises has gone now. Battle of flowers on its last legs, hotels being knocked down. Also so expensive now, when I arrived in 2001 it was quite a bit cheaper in Jersey for most things, but now it's not.
LOL @ 1:07 Why did eductational/product/office training videos from the mid 90s always have early 80s style music? (This always annoyed me in the 90s during IT training)
We went in '94 with our little child 'cos of Bergerac. Dreadful holiday! Naf food at our hotel with a miserable old guy dominating meal-time conversations. All three of us went down with tummy bug. Dangerous, busy narrow roads - nowhere for pedestrians on the countryside roads. Ugly concrete gun emplacements left by the Germans. One little cafe sold decent coffee, all the rest served 'orrid chicory substitute. Spanish waiters hovering around - to be tipped for serving 'orrid chicory. We ended up on the airfield perimeter wishing we were on a departing plane back to Blighty. By far the worst holiday we've ever had.
I hope it's not like that every time if you go a few more times,my time was good there last june 2023,the coach trips through the countryside lanes were abit dicey and hemmed in.
What an absolutely handsome and charismatic man!
Jersey and Bergerac all in one video - brilliant!
Amen to that! I've been watching the series on BritBox and came across this. I was looking for season four which Britbox for some reason has omitted.
@Andrew Wilson thanks very much!
Love John Nettles
I used to love jersey in the 1980's, so much atmosphere. Sadly its all lost now. They destroyed tourism around 1990.

If it was 1994, why was the music from deep in the 1980s?
Yes I love Midsummer murders hes so great
oh, he was quite handsome when he was younger...
He still looks the same with older features
Hot😅
I have to going to Jersey for 34 for years no holiday. The first time was the year 1991.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and I love it.
Loved going to Jersey, hopefully will get to go back one day.
Jersey is a real magnificent place. Amazing place and people. Going back hopefully next year.
Totally agree, it's a lovely place.
A lovely man to know without question
I love these early David Brent promotional videos

The early 90s were still the 80s in terms of promo videos. And Bergerac was still very much in the public mind in '94.
Maybe your just one of those types??, and theres no pleasing every muppet on earth..
Fantastic island. Been visiting for over 50 years and it keeps surprising us.
♥♥♥♥♥🥰Да красивые места Очень приятно ☺ все это видеть🌹
Wow how young was he there!
And much much thinner. I didn't even recognize him.
I have the VHS of this which I bought after staying on the island :)
Thank you Mr. Netles. You got love Barnaley. 😂

Like Bahamas and Switzerland
I'm don't always care for English men, but when I do it's John Nettles. Wowza!
I take it you dont live there then, im hoping you dont anyhow..
do you live there?@@wor53lg50
Would love to go
Must vist again soon
unfortunately, we are so so different now. still a beautiful place..... but not the tourist attraction it once was,
In what sense?
@@ANtr431 tourism has dropped, agriculture has dropped..... cost of living quite high..... i guess the same things many smaller places deal with.

Is Jersey 7 miles by 5 miles or 9 miles by 5 miles? Funny never mention the location north of France Seem a French Island so close to Cherbourg France

Cool man like him in Bergerac
The N-S slant sounds as if it might be a drumlin, caused when a melting glacier drops its effluvia on the downslope, flowing south.

Lol, they all had them didn't they?
I wonder whether all Jersey residents are happy with tourists.
Warm waters??? Haha! Yeah, from the perspective of an Eskimo maybe.
I went to Quebec city region and in July it wasn't warm
@@kathyfugere6085 I lived on a sailboat in Quebec City Port for a few months. Great memories.
❤😊❤

nice place but they would not let john buy a house there. after all he did to help jersey
Ridiculous, that man did more for Jersey than anyone ever has.
I bet they bloody well did, and also loved the duty free tax that was made from him to..
