ATTENTION ALL FANS OF JOHN THAW!

Would you like to see a John Thaw Film and Television Retrospective organised and screened in Australia and UK? If so, please leave a message for Theresa (An Australian Fan who is organising one) and me (who is also organising one here in Manchester UK), via my email address on this blog, and I will pass messages for Theresa on to her, and also get back to you.

I have been writing to Film Festival and Events organisers here in Manchester with ideas and information, asking them if they would like to support and host such an event.

We both would like to hear from anyone who would like to help us in contacting these companies or who have other helpful ideas. Even if you just let us both know that you would like to attend such a Retrospective that will help us demonstrate support to Events companies etc, for our idea.

In Australia John Thaw’s late brother, Ray who lived in Australia, had kindly agreed to support the project there, and had also contacted film festival organisers to register his support.

Here in the UK I have Sheila Hancock’s backing and she is happy for a Festival on her late husband to take place, I have also been in touch with Dick Fiddy of the BFI (British Film Institute) who has indicated to me that he is happy to help in any way he can.

He has contacted in this regard his colleague Veronica Taylor (who handles all UK TV clearances for the cinema) who, in turn, has passed it onto the programmes at Manchester's Chapterhouse.

Hopefully the more interest is shown, the more likely that we can find an organisation willing and able to host a John Thaw Retrospective. Please join in showing your support!
Thank you
Janet and Theresa
