Filming for the Bergerac reboot is going "incredibly smoothly" according to an executive producer, who has praised islanders for their "support and co-operation".
Brian Constantine said the production team had received a "warm and generous welcome" since arriving in Jersey.
Those behind the new six-episode series – commissioned by BBC-owned broadcaster UKTV – started shooting scenes in Jersey last month, with Bouley Bay, La Pulente, the Royal Square and Central Market among the initial locations used.

A number of islanders have also been able to make appearances as background characters following a successful call for extras, while local actor Timothy Renouf is playing a lead role.
Filming had already begun in the UK earlier this summer, though Economic Development Minister Kirsten Morel previously told Express that "principal filming" would take place in the island.
Other Jersey locations have so far included Gorey Pier, Archirondel, St Brelade's Bay and St Ouen's Methodist Church.
This morning, cast and crew could also be seen on Roseville Street.

Announced in April, the new show is due to offer a “contemporary twist” on the popular detective drama created by Robert Banks Stewart, which starred John Nettles and ran on the BBC between 1981 and 1991.
It is being directed by Peaky Blinders director Colm McCarthy and features Irish actor Damien Molony in the lead role of Jim Bergerac.
Mr Constantine said filming had so far gone "incredibly smoothly".
He continued: "Much of that is due in no small part to the support and co-operation of islanders.
"I want to extend our thanks for the warm and generous welcome our production team received during our time here in Jersey."

Mr Constantine added: "The island's breath-taking beauty and diverse landscapes have provided us with a stunning and dynamic backdrop, making Jersey not just a location, but a character in its own right within the show.
"We are also very grateful to the Government of Jersey, the parish teams, Visit Jersey, The Bailiff's Office, and the Honorary Police for their invaluable assistance."
