lancemjefferson I have watched Taggart from the first show. Although we have never received Taggart in the Vancouver area I am in the middle of "Running Out of Time". Is it me? I liked the character of Sgt. Jackie Reid in the earlier shows but now it's as if the show should be retitled, "Jackie's Dreams". Must she always be the conscience? Must she always - I was sure that she was going to find the injured DCI Burke in his canoe about 2 minutes after the programme started. Well, I must go back and see how she solves this one. But, I think that I've reached my limit.Lance M. Jefferson
sisalmon Taggart is now officially the longest running cop show on British T.V. and indeed has been on for 3/4 of my lifetime. There are several reasons for its longevity but surely the main one is the underlying grim humour that enhances every episode. While it was undoubtedly at it's peak in the Mark "there's been a muurder" McManus years, it has recently returned to peak form with the introduction Alec Norton as the "heid man." Norton combines McManus's tough demeanor with an acting ability that outweighs his predecessor. But then McManus didn't need to be an Al Pacino, he WAS the character, dour and caustic. The other characters always provided a little colour along with occasionally convoluted personal lives. However the real star in Taggart was always Glasgow. while Glasgow has changed greatly since the '80's the city's character and natural humour always shines through. The title song puts it that "this is no mean town, this is no mean city", well it's obviously a mean enough city to sustain a 22 year murder series without ever really seeming unbelievable like the village of "Midsomer Murder" which has a body count higher than New York's! All in all a good cop show and one that as long as it can keep Alec Norton, should continue for a few more years yet.
funky_purple_hippie Taggart is a great show. first its scottish which makes it great i love watching it cos i can say i've been there. the actors are excellent mark macmanus was fantastic and made the show cool. i tohught it was perfect in 94 four when jardine and reid and taggart were togther it was great the humour was excellent. my fave character is played by blythe duff (whos an excellent singer i seen her on that country singer program and she was fab) shes a great actress. the shows aird this year showing the sad and dramtic deprature of reid long term friend jardine was deeply moving and i thoguht here acting in fire burn was great i was in tears. i also think that alex norton is great too the bit were hes eating ice cream i thought was funny. i also like that the character jackie is developing greatly with the addintion of brian holmes all though there was sparks between her and robbie ie john michie which i'd like to see develop.
Helene Laude Probably the best detective-show in the world, it is even better than "Rejseholdet". The very best thing about Taggart is probably that you never know who the criminal is until 5 minutes before the credits, so it is intensely thrilling to the very last minute. Another remarkable feature is the constant focus on the personality of the men and women of the Maryhill police, they never end up as boring detective-robots, the show even allows their personal troubles to play a part in the plot. Another thing I like about Taggart is the way that twice (in the parts, I've watched) they borrow the outlines of another story - ex. Treasure Island by R.L. Stevenson. It adds a unique taste to the plot and makes you wonder, whether the Taggart-plot will end similar to the plot in the other story, but it never does. Finally I just have to emphasize the unique dialect spoken in the show. It is FANTASTIC!!
