Cheers!

A big thank you to Stuart and Lynn for proofreading the Biography, and to friends on ‘X’/Twitter for proofreading sections of the Life Chronology: Colander, Erica, Kim, and The Sweeney Archive. You all did a sterling job – and everyone now knows who to blame for any overlooked typing erors.

Special thanks to Rodney Marshall for his interest and support, and for entrusting me with some treasured items belonging to his dad, screenwriter Roger Marshall.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who follows the John Thaw Archive on Twitter or Instagram. Your ‘likes’ and comments provide support, connection and motivation.

Thanks to Roy Slater for posting wonderful photos from his vast collection.

Thank you to Theresa for friendship, discussion, and for double-checking the list of John’s theatre credits.

Thanks also to Chris Sullivan for friendship and for all the effort that goes into his excellent Morse-Lewis-Endeavour website.

Special thanks to:

Photographer Lou Boileau for giving me permission to use his wonderful photographs of John on this site. These were taken during a photoshoot at John’s home in 1986. Prints are available to buy from his website: LouBoileau.com

Photographer John Haynes for the permission to use his photographs of John. These include the photos appearing on the page from Spotlight (Life Chronology: 1970s), pages from theatre programmes for the play Absurd Person Singular, and a wonderful photograph of John during the play The Absence of War (Theatre pages coming soon!) https://www.johnhaynesphotography.net/

Fiona Norris for the permission to use her lovely photograph of John taken during filming of Inspector Morse (Life Chronology: 1980s).

Beth for creating beautiful artwork for use on the Inspector Morse page (coming soon!).

Several theatres have graciously allowed me to display scans from their printed programmes from John’s performances. This is very much appreciated, and each will be individually credited on the appropriate pages.
