The Two of Us, My Life with John Thaw

When John Thaw, the star of The Sweeney and Inspector Morse, died from cancer in 2002, the nation lost one of its finest actors and Sheila Hancock lost a beloved husband. In this double biography she chronicles their lives, both before they met and after their marriage in 1974. It is story of a love that survived celebrity, overwork, drink and cancer, poignantly interwoven with excerpts from Sheila’s diary for the last year of their life together.
