Taggart - We Don't Take Them Like That Anymore
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1975
This 1975 show Taggart (unrelated to the Scottish show) was a pilot for a series that did not eventuate, and the last drama made by the NZBC. It featured numerous key players from New Zealand's burgeoning screen industry; actor/filmmaker Ian Mune (Sleeping Dogs), actor Bill Johnson (Under the Mountain) and writer Keith Aberdein (Utu). In this episode, detectives Taggart (Johnson) and Denby (Mune) are on the case of a fatal hit and run. The victim happens to be the nephew of old-school senior sergeant Tom Walker (Eddie Hegan), and this otherwise simple case is complicated by Tom's worrying behaviour.
She still hot on the tail of the phantom panty snatcher?– Detective Senior Sergeant Denby (Ian Mune) discussing his co-worker Detective P.W. Johns (Louise Pajo)
