!!This series contains examples of:
* AnimalWrongsGroup: Three activists release a bunch of plague-carrying monkeys. Less extreme than some examples; the only people infected are themselves, the death of one (who was dating Bergerac's daughter) is played sympathetically, and another has enough sense to turn himself in and get treatment. The group's leader is slightly more extreme but still non-violent, and surrenders because the police threaten to shoot a dog if she doesn't.

* {{Retool}}: The last season had Bergerac relocate to the French mainland and become a private investigator.
