The end ... maybe.

28 years is a long time in show business.

The final episode ties up the loose ends and leaves the series open for another movie.

Jackie finally receives the promotion she deserves. Burke appears to move upstairs to community liaisons. Robbie Ross falls off the rails but is saved when his mates rally around.

Niall Greig Fullerton returns to play villain and puts in a brilliant performance. Why haven't we seen more of him?

It is a pity that Taggart did not stick to its original format. The one hour episodes did not work. The stories came to an abrupt end. Character development suffered.

But all good things must come to an end. Taggart is to be congratulated. It managed to change with the times but stay true to its theme. Glasgow was always the central character. From the opening scene of the very first episode until the very end - the streets and people of Scotland's largest city were the theme of the show.

So its goodbye Taggart. Thank you for the memories.
