	John Thaw "Inspector Morse"
		Thaw was the human, fallible, but ultimately courageous, manager of one of the boys - and this was when he was at the height of his renown in the toughest of his police series, The Sweeney.
		Thaw's next crime series, Thick As Thieves (1974), by Dick Clement and Ian la Frenais, is perhaps the joker in the pack, in that it was a situation comedy rather than a drama series, though a superior example of that form, exploring the pains of a precarious menage à trois.
		Thaw was married, first, to historian Sally Alexander, and, after their divorce, to the actor Sheila Hancock, by whom he is survived, together with their daughter Joanna, his daughter Melanie from his first marriage, and a stepdaughter from the second.

	Thaw, John
		For years after The Sweeney, Thaw found it difficult to throw off the Jack Regan image, but in 1987 he began another long-running detective series for which he is perhaps best known.
		Julian Mitchell, writer of several episodes of Morse, sees Thaw as the consummate TV actor: "his technique is perfect, and by seeming to do very little he conveys so much".
		Audiences are accustomed to Thaw's down-beat manner in gloomy roles, but he claims to prefer doing comedy.

		In this unique double biography, Sheila Hancock chronicles her life and the life of her husband John Thaw, one of the finest actors of his generation, who was beloved as Inspector Morse in the long-running TV series and who later starred later in life in A Year in Provence.
		His name was John Thaw and most of Hancock's book centers on him, her feelings for him, the complicated romantic relationships of the pair, and mostly about the alcoholism that, left unchecked, turned him into a human monster.
		John was born into a very poor family and the defining moment, which was to influence the rest of his life, was when his mother walked out on him and his brother when he was just 7 years old.

		John made both the roles of Jack Regan and Endeavour Morse his own, in fact he played all of his characters over the years tremendously and should be rewarded for this.
		Sir John Thaw seems a very fitting tribute to a wonderful actor, husband and father who has died far too young and my thoughts go out to Sheila Hancock and the rest of John's family.

		With his terse, naturalistic style of acting, perfectly suited to conveying world-weary integrity, John Thaw was a key British television actor for four decades.
		He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, but was born in Manchester; in fact, at one point in this episode his Scots accent slips and his natural northern accent can be heard (mind you, he was understandably distracted as he was grappling with Honor Blackman at the time!).
		Sadly, Thaw's recent battle with cancer of the esophagus - a condition with a pitifully low recovery rate - ended in his death, aged 60, on Thursday 21st February 2002.
