The Unforgettable John Thaw Story - 2002

[@sandrawalker5882]

2023 - Just watching and appreciating Morse now, missed it in the ‘80’s. Fabulous man and actor, so sad he died so relatively young.

[@MarkHarrison733]

He caused his early death.

[@vonrock6862]

The Queen was at an event and told John Thaw was there. She lit up and said “Morse is here ! !

[@caroleminke6116]

Truth!

[@vonrock6862]

@@caroleminke6116 my mom loved them both. My how that time seems so long ago.

[@vivienneoneill5400]

I love him too. He was really great.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@vonrock6862]

My Mom too, I’m 75 and had relatives in northern Alberta, Canada who were from England and Scotland they were quite British. A picture I recently saw showed the Queen on a stage from the 60’s, dozens of women smartly dressed with their backs to the Queen holding their compacts up so they could see Queen, and next to it from 2016, women in casual dress facing Her with cellphones held up taking videos. I already miss the manners, politeness and behaviors. I hope you have a great summer 🌞

A brilliant actor.. gone far too soon!

I truly loved Inspector Morse. Dear John Thaw, May you rest in peace. Amen.

John Thaw was a excellent brilliant actor Taken away to soon

[@viorelpiscanu9425]

INDEED....

[@marjoriegarner5369]

Taken away? "Taken away (as you say) too soon." Who took him away? Had he no choice? I guess he had no choice, but to survive. To make believe. Tragic. Absolutely tragic.

[@avrilmariethurston6992]

I absolutely adored EVERYTHING He was in - devistated when He passed - Brilliant Actor

[@elizabethsavage9108]

The intelligence that he portrayed in Morse captivated me and still does , such amazing acting , he really draws you in , adore the late John thaw , what an amazing man 😊😊

[@georgirosehempson1454]

A truly magnificent man,one of a kind.You felt like he understood the struggles of every day folk and wasn't changed by fame, wasn't a snob and approachable and had time for people although he would have had to have boundaries obviously needed privacy as any famous person would.One of the greats and indeed a natural treasure.we are lucky to have had him

[@jademoon5103]

I wish he would have been with us longer

[@viorelpiscanu9425]

I second You!❤

[@joanfourie1753]

Me too 😊

[@janeclarkson8471]

John was so true to himself. Feet remain steadfastly on the floor. Loved this actor and convincing an actor he was, he was a joy to watch. His family love and respect him, that says it all. That scene Sheila mentions of him alone near the end in Morse, still draws you into his thoughts when you view it. You experience and understand that moment. What an actor. That last episode was heartbreaking. You couldn't imagine tv viewing without Morse. Now without John! Gone too soon. R.I.P John and deepest sympathy to you family and friends. He didn't lose his humanity and remained so modest too. God Bless. ❤️

[@claudiabenade6889]

I am so glad I accidentally found this. I'm in South Africa and loved him in The Sweeny (translate into one of our languages) I also saw Morse.

[@jonboy9912]

I sat next to his table at a restaurant near Liberty 6 months before he died he was having a ball! Great man, great actor and a character that infected everything and everyone he interacted with - greatly missed.

[@wendylane6636]

They don't make them like that anymore. Fantastic actor and magnetic.

[@glendafaber1245]

John was a fantastic actor and is sadly missed.

[@garthl2954]

What a gifted man! Growing up in the colonies we never had access to British television and it took Covid to bring me to discover these chapters of British TV, notably Morse, on which I binged for weeks!! 🥰

[@laurie113]

From Canada , loved Morse! John Thaw RIP 🇨🇦

[@jamesmoore9511]

His eyes are it. They are what makes him look directly into the camera and the sole of anyone watching. Intensity that's it.

[@cbass2755]

Family support is everything….John was fortunate to have loving siblings. Seems like a good Father too….he made no bones about it. “Mom’s gone, so it’s just us. Were take care of each other”. The truth, not much you can do to change it except….you know you have each other. ♥️👍

[@bgoldberg6802]

So sad to hear the passing of Morse. Gave my life an injection of happiness. Still watching Morse. R.I.P from SA Cape Town. 😢

[@barrettemonique9070]

I only knew of John’s work on Morse but I did love him in it. He was wonderful.

[@richardrosen6453]

He was also excellent in Kavanaugh. !

[@josephinedurand7590]

I loved watching anything that John acted in especially Inspector Morse and Goodnight Mr Tom

[@inajames3160]

[@nordic1121]

I watched him in the sweeney when I was a young teenager, I was devastated when he decided not to continue the series, but watching him in the comedy role with Reece Dinsdale and Morse , Kavanagh QC and other roles he played I am absolutely convinced he was one of the all time British greats to appear on our tv screens. He left us too early and his wife and family must miss him immensely.

[@MarkHarrison733]

"Comedy", lol.

[@user-xv2tw3tc9q]

Just a brilliant actor

[@Kerbeygrip]

I met this beautiful man, glass of whiskey in hand, on the set of Monsieur Renard in Le Touguet. He was such a gentleman and humorous. He didn’t know me from Adam, but I might just as well have been a long lost friend. Sadly the alcohol did its damage. Gone too soon.

[@forsdykemontague1017]

My all time favourite actor, I was incredibly saddened when he died.

[@jimnewcombe7584]

A fine actor, playing comedy, playing a rough, and playing with contemplative gravitas. I reckon I'd have liked him as a man too.

[@gloriaskov7052]

Rise and meet the road where it greets you.

[@lifesforliving4929]

A simply excellent tribute,, brought tears to my eyes.

Actually he was never in Bergerac ! That was John Nettles

[@gonefishing167]

Oh, of course it was! I used to say that all the time. Blame it on a bad ‘senior day’. Apologies. Admired them both hugely. Though I do know John Nettles is still here. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏👵👵🤪🤪🇦🇺🇦🇺

How we miss John thaw his wife it breaks her every time she speaks of him but John loved her as much when i seen John specks of her you could see she was everything to him and i mean everything

RIP John Thaw (born #otd in 1942) 🌹

[@Mum60]

Really! I'd no idea he was only four years older than me (born in Aug '46 in West Yorkshire UK) I watched him in the 60s in The Sweeney. I was in my early 20s then. . Loved him also in the telly movie, 'Good Night Mr Tom.' Brilliant. So different to what he'd played before.

[@qwertycoupe]

Goodnight mr tom

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

The best bit for me was in goodnight Mister tom when the little lad called him dad at the end 😢there’s something in my eye

[@frontendloader1000]

John was such a credible actor, living the part.

The only thing negative I can say about this video is it was over far too soon.

The camera jamming 5 times before shooting the final death scene isn’t just strange but spiritual ✨

[@marionhulspas1391]

Fantastic actor

[@sunestjern3749]

John Thaw as Inspector Morse was just the best choice to play this character absolutely! But I hated the opera music a woman soprano screaming my ears of totally wrong! I would rather go with a man opera tenor absolutely! but even so I loved the show!

[@froggieredcliffe8097]

John Thaw was a LEGEND !!!!!!!!!!! Great Talent indeed. I am so glad that John had such a beautiful wife and THREE lovely daughters who loved him so much. Being deserted by his mother at such a young age was a real tragedy, but he ended up thriving on his own strength.

[@4june9140]

What nice people both his wives are.

[@user-bs4jn6444]

I met Mr Thaw and his wife Ms Hancock at a soiree once. I was a huge fan of Morse .. I was left so disappointed. I eagerly greeted him not in a flirtatious manner or anything. He mumbled a brief comment then his awful rude wife turned to me and said Move on Mrs...I was gobsmacked.. I heard many others say the same about Sheila. I dont think John was comfortable with his fame...but there is no excuse for the rudeness of his wife.

[@MarkHarrison733]

"Morse" was so boring.

[@madskier50]

But he is forgettable isn't he. My kids wouldn't know him from Adam and my grandkids even more so. All these 'famous' actors are eminently forgettable. Who remembers the English stars of the 1920s and 30s?

[@maryannhanlon7828]

We cinephiles do.

[@janeclarkson8471]

Absolutely NOT to an admirer of his talent and of him as an ordinary man. Many are forgettable. Many are NOT! Film buffs and people who love the history of tv and film DO know of the previous generations of actor’s. Pioneering actors and many many unforgettable actors from before your own time.

I loved Morse but was surprised to learn he died at 60. He did not age well.

He was a very overrated actor, who caused his early death.
