John Thaw at his absolute finest. Forget Morse, he was too shy and retiring for me. What was that car about either, he looked much more at home in a MkIII Granada Ghia

Had the pleasure of meeting John Thaw when he was in the Sweeney,my first job when I left school was a telegram messenger and I went to his house at Strand on the green in Chiswick, for those of you of know it, when he answered the door, I said gor blimy it's Jack Regan, he pissed himself laughing, but he was a true gentleman.
