Taggart - Volumes 30 to 33

Taggart has been appearing on our screens for over 20 years now and has survived the loss (quite easily actually) of it's lead character (who gave the show it's name). Taggart, which is basically about the cases of a Scottish murder squad is Taggart is currently the longest running cop show on TV. Apparently creator Chandler took the names of the characters in the first serial from from the graves in a Glasgow cemetery. The only original cast member left is pathologist Dr Andrew Stephens. Here we look at the box set release of volumes 30-33 (the first DVD release, others have been issued on VHS - you can also buy this in video form if you wish).
