So, with Tumblr communities being a thing now, would anyone be interested in a Taggart community?

I'm not expecting this post to get much attention. But even if only a couple of people express interest, I'll make a request to create a Taggart community.

Shadows of Fear: Did You Lock Up? (1.1, Thames, 1970)

"And they didn't make much mess?"

"No, not really. They forced that door. Smashed the cabinet, slashed a sofa. And kicked a hole in the bedroom door."

"Ah. Big mistake."

"What is?"

"Never lock inside doors. Anything you can to keep them out - but when they're in, let 'em get on with it."

"I'll remember."

Yep, we all do it, and when I lived down south it was often asked of me to say the words that are now legendary!

Katy Manning, in her second screen role (see her first here), as Julia Dungarvon - full-time typist, part-time coffee shop waitress, and member of more than one love triangle - in Man at the Top: The Prime of Life (1.4, Thames, 1971)

#fave spotting #katy manning #man at the top #doctor who #jo grant #classic doctor who #1971 #classic tv #thames #kenneth haigh #mark mcmanus #keith skinner #i recently picked up s2 of Man at the Top after several years of looking; i got the first series and then network promptly deleted both #individual releases in favour of a complete set and as i wasn't in LOVE with the series i refused to double dip... patience finally #(finally!!) paid off. but it had been so long since i watched s1 that i legit just didn't remember it and thought i should rewatch before #starting series 2. two things came back to me on revisiting: Joe Lampton is a serious contender for old tv's Biggest Bastard and also the #scripts are really actually very very strong (particularly the first few‚ written by novelist John Braine who was the character's original #creator way back when Room at the Top was published in 1957). anyway. one thing i hadn't remembered... and SPOILERS INCOMING FOR S1 OF THIS #OLD SERIES NOBODY WILL BE THAT INTERESTED IN EXCEPT ONE MUTUAL I KNOW HAS SEEN S2.. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED #while i remembered Katy turned up (in 2 eps iirc) i had completely forgotten the absolute ick of a storyline she has. she's Joe Lampton's #15yr old son's 18yr old girlfriend... who Joe then starts sleeping with. blergh. like i said Joe is a piece of work and honestly pretty #unredeemable at times (this a prime example). it's all pretty gross but Katy does well and has a much meatier role than in the Softly #Softly: Task Force she'd done the year before. she was about 25 but convinces as an 18yr old (just as Skinner convinces as a 15yr old but #he too was in his 20s im relieved to say; there's some heavy macking that made me squirm when i knew Katy was 25 and thought he was 15)#shudder. anyway. despite everything I've said this series is better than i remembered‚ mostly bc of those pin sharp scripts that belong to #the power game and the brothers world of big business bitching mixed with familial melodrama. just.. try to be a little less creepy joe.#or a lot less‚ ideally
