A long-running detective drama is a firm favourite with viewers, and all 27 seasons are now free to watch.
Taggart is a Scottish detective programme created by Glenn Chandler. It debuted as the miniseries Killer in September 1983, before being commissioned as a full series that aired from 1985 to 2010.
The programme followed a team of detectives based initially in Maryhill CID within Strathclyde Police, although numerous storylines unfolded across different parts of Greater Glasgow and throughout Scotland.
Operating from the fictional John Street police station, Scottish icon Mark McManus portrayed the titular character, Jim Taggart, until his death in 1994. The programme continued under the same title following the actor’s death, establishing it as amongst the UK’s most enduring television dramas.
The pilot episode introduced DI Jim Taggart, a “tough and experienced” detective who had risen through the ranks. His initial partner was DS Peter Livingstone (Neil Duncan), reports Glasgow Live.
