Comedian Will Smith is obsessed with 1980s detective series Bergerac, so uses an audio book of its star, to navigate the minefield of his life.

Smith has one guiding force in his life - an audio book of John Nettles reading the ancient Chinese text of the Tao. He has always used this tape to illuminate problems in his life, to find a way through when the road seems blocked.

Now Will brings the Tao of Bergerac to you, as each week he navigates the minefields of love, justice, individuality and machismo with the help of some special guests from his favourite TV show.

But Will is easily sidetracked into revealing the true subject of the series: the obsessions and insecurities of Will Smith. He finds refuge from an unappreciative society in his fierce dedication to a TV show that is the bedrock of the simpler days of his Jersey childhood.

Each programme features a special guest starring cameo from John Nettles and climaxes with Will's tour-de-force: Six Degrees of Bergerac - linking the show to any audience-suggested film in six steps or less.
