A Death Foretold
Never mind that an unknown serial killer is roaming the city stabbing people and leaving them to die with only the letters "XXXXIL" scratched nearby as a clue. The real mystery in tonight's episode is what on earth's the matter with DS Jackie Reid. She has a face like a wet Monday, is speaking in monosyllables and keeps rushing off without explanation or apology. Taggart is one of TV's most reliable detective dramas. It may not have any gimmicks nor does it have the glossiness of US series such as CSI, but its stories are well told and worth anybody's attention for 90 minutes.
