It's our first episode, so Stephen and Iain begin their exploration of Taggart by heading all the way back to 1983, and the pilot episode Killer.
We dig into the first meeting of Jim Taggart and Peter Livingstone, try to piece together the clues to the killer, and look at the groundwork laid for the series proper.
Plus: what Taggart means to Glasgow, musical weirdness, Eighties television tropes, the first appearance of the Taggart Murder Totaliser... and grab a handkerchief for Stephen's heartbreaking Gerard Kelly story...
