Actors James MacPherson and Mark McManus and actress Blythe Duff star on the ‘Double Exposure’ episode of the Scottish detective crime drama television series, ‘Taggart.’

That’s certainly the case for the title protagonist of the Scottish crime drama show, ‘Taggart.’ The eponymous lead character, Detective Chief Inspector Jim Taggart, who was played by Mark McManus (until the actor’s death in 1994), is the perfect officer to advise the latest group of detectives. The television series, which is set in the Maryhill CID of Strathclyde Police, follows the detectives as they solve crimes in the Greater Glasgow area.
