The second series of Lewis will be out here in the UK on dvd on 31st March 2008 (ITV DVD £24.99), even though it hasn't been screened on UK tv yet!

Please note this date could change if ITV1 screen it later rather than sooner.
Regards Janet.

I've just emailed Dick Fiddy of the BFI, to ask about this drama and if it's possible release this is what he wrote to me:

Dear Janet
Not all of The Other Man exists, it's just that the last part was found which meant we now had Parts 1,2 & 5 and were only missing parts 3 &4. With 81 minutes survivng I deemed it would be interesting enough, even incomplete, to show at last year's Missing Believed Wiped screening here at BFI Southbank.

I doubt if there's any possibility of a DVD release becase of the fact it is incomplete (despite being a fascinating piece with a knock-out performance from Michael Caine). Anyway, The Other Man is owned by Granada so we couldn't release it even if we wanted to.

The only way I can forsee it seeing light of day whould be as an Extra on a Michael Caine box-set. It is a remarkable drama and John Thaw's role as the conscience of the Caine character is sterling support and does warrant a release of some sort but is difficult to see where in the current climate. I guess it may be worth approaching Network DVD who release a lot of ITV stuff and may have a space for it.
Best Dick

So now i'm off to email Network and see if i can get them to release what there is of it, i'll keep you all posted as to what happens.

I always knew that this wasn't fully available, and therefore i didn't give out any info as i would never raise anyone's hopes about anything starring John.
Regards Janet.

Just want to say I'm particularly remembering John today January 3rd on the anniversary of his birthday. I wish he was still around to celebrate it. I hope his family knows he won’t be forgotten by his fans – who are many and worldwide!

I'll be watching an episode of Redcap tonight in honour of John. I'll save Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner and maybe a Morse until the weekend when I have a bit more time to watch full movies.

As odd as it may sound to those who knew John Thaw personally or who were intimately acquainted with his career, I only learned of his death this past year, during 2007, as I was searching the Internet for some information on Inspector Morse. I had been a fan of Thaw's work as Morse for several years, and my love for the series has only increased with time.

It seems doubly strange that today, having just last night ordered copies of two Morses I'd never seen, I discover that yesterday was his birthday and that there has been a proposal the name the day in his honor in his hometown.

Since I learned of his death, so much later than people who really knew the man, I find myself often contemplating how odd yet wonderful it is that a person I never knew, who worked and lived half way around the world, could create something that has so touched me that I greive his passing, albeit belatedly, as I would that of a friend.

Thanks Joe for clearing up those spam type messages on the Guestbook as I requested. Quick work!

Janet, I saw your message there too about the charity link. Good idea and well spotted (as usual). I will look into doing that as well.

Thanks again Joe for maintaining this wonderful site! It's comforting to know that you are there watching over us all on the site and keeping an eye on all things site-related.

I hope you and your family had a really lovely Christmas and that you all have a healthy and happy 2008

Cheers!
