Take the High Road 1980

Overview

Take the High Road is a British soap opera produced by Scottish Television that premiered in February 1980. The series is set in the fictional village of Glendarroch. Initially launched as a daytime soap opera for the ITV network, the programme remained on air until 1993, when it was dropped by the network. Following this decision, the broadcast status of the show became fragmented, as various members of the ITV network continued to screen the programme while others chose not to carry it. Despite these inconsistent scheduling practices across different regions, the series has developed a cult following among viewers. The production remains notable for its focus on the lives of residents within its central Scottish setting. By providing a long-running narrative centered on the fictional community, the show established a distinct presence in British television history. Its legacy persists through the dedicated audience that emerged during and after its original network run.
