The director Alan MacMillan, currently working on the third of a six-episode run to go out next year, says the gore brings fun to the show. One thing that's important is there's black humour in the show. Taggart's like a good sweet once you've tasted it, you want more. It's down to good writing and strong acting. The show has helped launch so many careers. It's almost like a Scottish school for acting talent.
