@russty_russ Anglia, Granada, TVS, TSW and Ulster refused to use their idents. Granada made an alternate one where their then current ident merged into the main generic ITV logo. Scottish also only used theirs briefly, I believe for just a couple of months, before ditching it.
@russty_russ As in the series that followed, it showed Taggart trying to solve a series of murders while also showing Taggart having to work with a partner of a completely different background - university educated DS Peter Livingstone, played by Alistair "Neil" Duncan. (2/2)
@russty_russ Also played site manager Herr Grunwald in the first series of Auf Wiedersehen Pet. "First served, first come. Put your things in your hut."

"...oh, sh*t!"
