Taggart

UK mystery about a murder in a picturesque village comes to ABC.

She appears on one of the world’s biggest TV shows, but few people recognise Phyllis Logan -until she speaks.

Briony McRoberts, best known as Sam Hagen in the 1990s Scottish drama Take the High Road, has died, aged 56.

Recently axed ITV series Taggart returns to ABC1 this Friday for its final season.

After 28 years UK police drama Taggart, has ended.

27 years. 2,400 episodes. 19,000 actors. 400 chase sequences. 30 Police killed -finally The Bill, leaves our screens this Saturday night.

Week 45 saw Seven launch its new digital channel, and the Melbourne Cup delivering it their biggest audience all year. And there were celebrations in Community Television.

With the passing of Don Lane, Nine’s audience again sent a message that it loves variety television, while Seven’s announcement of 7TWO saw it lose another week to Nine/GO!

The 2008 ratings year is ending its weeks as they began, with a closer finish between the two top networks. But one is warehousing some of its shows knowing it has the year already sewn up.

If television were a horse race bookmakers would be losing a lot of money as Seven stays ahead of the pack again last week. At least the winning post is in sight.

What a week in telly. The departure of the Packer name from Nine, new channels, axed shows, resignations and a blast from the past. Are we there yet?

The week was dominated by stories about current affairs and finance with CEOs and former network talent all having something to say. Meanwhile, Seven won again.
