Taggart
I've lately been getting into classic Taggart. I have to say that they are pretty good.
Can anyone on here remember the episode which focused on the gay scene? I've always wanted to see that one (which my dad refused to watch!) |

Taggart was my ultimate 'must watch' in the mid/late eighties / early nineties (i.e. when Taggart was actually in it!). 3 part stories over 3 weeks: those were the days. My favourite stories live long in the memory whereas the new ones shown these days are forgotten almost immediately - if I bother to watch them at all.
Angel Eyes might be the episode you're referring to. |

Some of the later episodes were much better plotted but it just didn't have the same atmosphere without Mark McManus. I was amused to see Taggart writer and sometime actor Stuart Hepburn in the Edinburgh-set film Hallam Foe - playing a policeman! |

Thanks. I think that episode is called Angel Eyes.
Some of the scariest episodes I've seen are "Nest of Vipers", "Fatal Inheritance" and "Violent Delights." |

I remember seeing bits of Taggart while growing up in the very late 80s/early 90s. Am I right in remembering it as quite a dark and gritty programme?

Yes. It had good plots which kept you guessing right until the end, usually. It was good in the beginning, I agree, but I think making Jardine the chief was a mistake. It needs a far tougher image than he can portray. He just came over as peevish when he got ratty. I much prefer Alex Norton's portrayal of the 'main man' He is very believable in the role.

I'm noticing that there are quite a lot of gay characters in a lot of the Taggarts - from the early ones.

Bit of an obscure question, but as this thread is about classic Taggart perhaps someone will know.
Years ago there was an episode of it set down in Rothesay, Isle of Bute. My Nanas in it We've been trying to find it, but don't know the season (other than it must have been fairly early on at least) or the name of the episode. Bit of a long shot, but maybe someone knows which one I'm on about?

Taggart is back on Tuesday at 9pm. This first episode of the series is 90 minutes long, but from the week after, each edition lasts 60 minutes (part of ITV1's new schedule).

Some of the scariest episodes I've seen are "Nest of Vipers", "Fatal Inheritance" and "Violent Delights." In my opinion, Taggart isn't as good as it used to be back in the day, but the writers still deliver solid, entertaining mysteries - i'll definitely be tuning in this week. |

Sorry to revive an old thread but I have a question for Taggart fans.
I remember watching an episode of Taggart in I think about 1993 when there was a sequence in a hospital where a doctor walked up to Taggart and said something like "I'm sorry but your wife won't be able to walk again". Taggart angrily replied: "She's been paralysed for x years". I can't remember whether x was 10 or 20 or whatever. Can anyone tell me which episode this was? Thanks in advance for your help. |

The episode your thinking of is called Evil Eye. Taggart's wife is involved in a car crash & falls into a coma.

He is very believable in the role.
