35 years ago, i became a fan of John Thaw, after seeing him in "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner", and i've never looked back, there are times i still can't believe it's been that long, but other times due to what has happened to me, it feels a lot longer

So to mark the occasion i am planning to watch one drama per day during August, (total of 31), it wasn't easy choosing just 31 out of everything that John did and i have on video/dvd, but i've made the list and here it is for you all to see, though i might change them around by August.
01. Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
02. The Sweeney: Messenger of the Gods
03. Inspector Morse: Dead on Time
04. Home To Roost: Protest/High Spirits
05. Kavanagh QC: Blood Money
06. Redcap: The Killer
07. Thick as Thieves: Holy Deadlock
08. Mitch: Saturday Night
09. Killer Waiting
10. We'll Support You Evermore
11. Goodnight Mister Tom
12. Business As Usual
13. Sherlock Holmes: Sign of Four
14. The Avengers: Espirit De Corps
15. The Adventures of Black Beauty: The Hostage
16. The Bofors Gun
17. The Last Grenade
18. Z-Cars: Hide and go Seek
19. Five to One
20. Dead Man's Chest
21. Strange Report: Revenge - When A Man Hates
22. Budge: Sunset Mansions or Whatever Happened to Janey Baib
23. The Sensible Actions of Lieut Hoist
24. Who Dares Wins
25. Stanley and the Women - Episode 1
26. Bomber Harris
27. A Year in Provence - Episode 1
28. Into the Blue
29. The Waiting Time
30. Monsignor Renard - Episode 1
31. Buried Treasure

I also plan to do a scrapbook to mark this special event, though at the moment i've no idea how i'm going to do it, but i'm sure i'll think of something.

Hope the above list gives you some ideas Leila, for when you do yours in November, it's taken me a few weeks working on this list, deleting stuff and adding others then changing my mind, so now it's put on paper i'm not changing it again, though they just might get moved to different days that's all.
Love Janet.

It's high time that I showed up on the radar screen again. This time last year I worried over my passport and the possibility that it wouldn't arrive in time to go to England. Now that trip is a lovely memory that can be revisited time and time again.

I haven't used the computer for months so there has been a great deal that I've missed. My hands are the problem and my unwillingness to have them taken care of. The day came that I ran out of options and had to start making plans for surgery. My right hand was operated on in May and the cast is to be taken off this coming Friday. Thank Goodness. Knuckle replacement. I hope my left hand can be taken care of by mid-August. Right now I'm typing with my left thumb.

I hope everyone is well and that your lives are running smoothly. Love to all, Kay

Hi Janet - Can't believe I didn't get on Forum in time to wish you a Happy Birthday for the 8th (just gone). Anyway we had a good chat on the day and I know you enjoyed the day. Just wanted to let your other Forum mates know too - and I guess I've embarrased you in the process? Sorry but couldn't be helped!
Cheers!

Today 9th June is the 4th anniversary of the death of John Thaw’s brother, Ray Thaw.

I know that there are many John Thaw fans on this site who remember Ray with affection and gratitude, for the few years he was able t o contribute to this site and to helping keep his brother’s memory alive with John’s fans and also for his friendly manner.

Thanks and rest in peace Ray. My thoughts also go to his family today.

Regards
