Remembering John... Ten years on!

Today ten years after he passed away, John is still fondly remembered, thanks in part too new dramas like Lewis and now Endeavour, which are keeping John's well loved character of Inspector Morse firmly in the public's eye.

John passed away on Thursday 21st February 2002, but thankfully there are new dvd releases, which are keeping his wonderful creations alive for generations of fans to see.

Today and everyday we remember John with love, and we hold his family in our thoughts, later tonight I'm going to mark his anniversary by watching Killer Waiting, one of my all time favourite dramas.

John! You were and still are simply the best, god bless you gov'.

Lewis...could be ending soon

Take a look at this link where you can watch a video where Kevin is talking about Endeavour, Morse and Lewis.

Happy Birthday...John

Today marks John's 70th birthday, so I think everyone should watch something to mark the occasion, for me I'll watch first episode of The Glass then a couple of Thick as Theives episodes.

Happy birthday John, you were/are simply the best actor we have ever had.

New documentary about John

On Sunday (1st January) ITV1 are screening The Unforgettable John Thaw at 9:45-10:45pm, very rare do they show them as an hour long tribute. Just wish I could record it, but sadly I don't have a DVD recorder.

Mind you I think the reason this one hasn't been screened earlier when the series started is on 3rd January marks what would have been john's 70th birthday!

Also next Monday (2nd January) on ITV3 at 9:00pm is Endeavour the new prequel to Morse, obviously I'm more interested in John and that's what this blog is for, but I know a lot of folk will be interested in this, me included. Mind I like a good drama full stop, and that's what this looks like from the trailer I've seen on tv.

10th anniversary of John's death

As you all know on 21st February 2012 marks the 10th anniversary of the sad passing of this wonderful actor, and i think we should all mark it by watching what made us a fan of him in the first place.

So for me that will be "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner", which i saw in 1973, and i've been hooked on him ever since. I plan on watching it on blu-ray as i've not watched it yet, because i was saving it for this occasion.

When you have decided what you are watching please leave a reply to this thread so everyone else can see what you have choosen.

Also for John's birthday and anniversary i will be updating the blog with a new slidshow and maybe a new layout, have to see first

John's 70th Birthday...

As everyone knows on 3rd January next year (2012), marks what would have been John's 70th birthday, so i think we should all mark the occasion and watch some of his wonderful work!
