Read MoreUK TV Series to Feature Bermuda, Including BPS & RBR Coastguard
Mon, 2024-07-01
Earlier this year, a TV producer from Spun Gold Productions, a TV production company from the UK known for its documentary series on policing, hospitals and fire services as well as inside looks at the Royal Family, visited Bermuda to scope out the possibility of making a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) daytime TV series tentatively titled “Policing Paradise.”
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) have now agreed to the filming of a 15 episode series following the work of the Bermuda Police Service (BPS) and its officers, as well as the Royal Bermuda Regiment (RBR) Coastguard.
Film crews arrived in Bermuda at the end of last week and working alongside the Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) as well as local production company Method Media Bermuda, began following BPS officers as they attended calls for service this past weekend.
The UK crews will continue to work alongside BPS officers for the next seven weeks, in the lead up to Cup Match. They will be mainly filming “feel good” stories involving our officers and their daily lives policing Bermuda.
This TV programme is designed to show Bermuda, the BPS and the RBR Coastguard in a good light, while encouraging UK citizens to consider visiting the island.
All footage will be thoroughly reviewed by the BPS Senior Leadership Team, before being released for inclusion in the series. Likewise, all proposed episodes will be vetted by the BPS before release for broadcast.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Martin Weekes said: “We encourage the public to help make the film crew welcome while they are here, as they are here to show Bermuda in a positive light.”

Senior Citizen Hospitalised After Taxi Went Overboard Saturday
Mon, 2024-06-24
Shortly after 3:45 p.m. on Saturday, 22nd June 2024, police and other first responders attended a single vehicle road traffic collision involving a taxi, on Harbour Road, Paget.
It has been reported the taxi was travelling in an easterly direction along Harbour Road, when the driver, a 74-year-old male, apparently lost control of the vehicle and went through a wall near Lower Ferry.
The vehicle landed on its roof in Hamilton Harbour and became partially submerged.
The driver was able to escape the vehicle and was assisted by members of the public in extracting the other three occupants. Among them, an 86-year-old woman, who was initially unresponsive.
She was lifted to the dock where first aid was administered and she regained consciousness. All occupants were then conveyed by ambulance to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, where at last check three of them were attended to and discharged.
The 86-year-old woman was placed on a ward as a precautionary measure and continues to receive treatment for her injuries, which are understood to be non-life threatening.
Harbour Road remained closed in the area of the collision for approximately three hours, while the vehicle was removed from the water and the roadway cleared.
Traffic diversions were put in place at the junctions of Lovers Lane and Harbour Road and Chapel Road and Harbour Road, Paget for the duration of the closure, with traffic at one point being restricted to one lane, while the damage was surveyed by the Department of Public Works.
The Bermuda Police Service wishes to thank the public for their patience and cooperation while this exercise was carried out.
An investigation into this collision is ongoing and any additional witnesses, or persons with relevant information regarding the incident, are asked to call Constable Steven Paynter on 717-0951, or e-mail spaynter@bps.bm.
